“The only point to improve first: Please write somewhere in the description, that the tour needs jackets after sunsets as it gets very cold with the wind. Other than that, our guide was absolutly one of the best i have ever had on such safari tours. He has brought us to some amazing views and showed us a lot of useful informations about the algarve and it's history. I also defenitley recommend to book the tour with the dinner afterwards. The dinner is amazing for the price you pay for the whole tour. Thanks for an incredible expirience.”
