5.00We took the 1-hour tour of the caves of Ponte da Piedade with Ivo and Elio, who were very kind and well-prepared. Even during the booking, the girl who assisted us was very nice and attentive, considering I am pregnant and have a 3-and-a-half-year-old child. If you are in the Algarve, highly recommended tour!!

5.00Impeccable customer service; on the day of the excursion, the waves were much too strong, and they offered us a refund for the safety of our 5-year-old daughter.

5.00Beautiful visit, our guide was very friendly, the whole coast explained in perfect French and the pilot had impeccable control of his boat! For the reception, it's great there is an office, which is not the case with many other companies! I recommend.
This Should Be Required!

5.00If the waters and weather cooperate, don’t miss out on this! On our third day, the sun came out and the boat tours were back on. So fun to see up close what we had been admiring from above. Very capable captain had us in and out of formations and caves, while the host explained the history and nuances of the incredible views. While there were many other boats sharing the passages, and great wave and water volume changes, we never felt any safety concern, so impressive was the boat handling. Strongly recommend.
Nice tour

5.00We had a very nice and informative tour with super Mario as our captain and our guide, I’m sorry I forgot her name but she was also great. Just long enough to see all the caves
