Lovely trip to the islands. Brief but probably just the right amount of time needed. Nice to get the chance to swim as well

Spectacular. And João, the guide, is very nice and friendly; he speaks all the languages, so that's great. Any questions you have about what to visit or where to eat, he will make recommendations for you. A perfect 10.

We had a fantastic 2-island boat tour from Faro visiting Barreta (Deserta) Island and Farol Island. John was an excellent guide – friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. The scenery in the Ria Formosa was stunning, with crystal-clear water, beautiful beaches and plenty of opportunities to explore. Barreta Island was peaceful and unspoilt, while Farol had a lovely atmosphere with its picturesque lighthouse and charming houses. John shared interesting information about the area and made us feel very welcome The tour was well organised, relaxed and great value for money. A perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the Algarve. Highly recommended! Zoe & Keith Scotland
