The area was beautiful...

3.00The area was beautiful and we enjoyed seeing it. Our tour guide was not interested in talking or explaining anything to us. He spent a lot of time on his phone.
First time Portugal

5.00Our tour guide Marta described the points of interest during the 3hr comfortable ride from Lisbon to the boat dock. We also felt very safe with her driving ability. My friend was not sure footed walking the cliffs but Marta assisted in order for her to see the magnificent views from above. During the boat ride along the algarve coastline, we entered several caves including the magnificent Bengali and received details about each of their formations. After a dip in the ocean., Marta arranged a delicious meal at a seaside restaurant for us. This is a great tour and I would recommend you request Marta as your guide if she is available. Viator has never disappointed us.

5.00This was a great experience. It was a very long day trip from Lisbon but our tour guide, Marta, keep it interesting and the time flew by. She gave us a lot of interesting information as we drve through the country side. Marta was very accommodating and changed up some things so we could do everything that we wanted to see. She also had a great recommendation for lunch and took pictures of my wife and I. The cliffs had a fantastic view. Since it was a windy day and we could not go out on the water into the caves. Our guide arranged a trip to the Chapel of Bones in Faro. Would highly recommend this tour and would very highly recommend Marta as the guide.

5.00We experienced a PHENOMENAL private tour of The Algarve from Lisbon on May 20 with our tour guide, Jose. Jose was very punctual, welcoming, and hospitable as he led us on our AMAZING visit to this region, customized perfectly to our wish list of desired places to explore. We enjoyed breathtaking views along the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail and visited several other awe-inspiring attractions as well, culminating with a SPECTACULAR boat cruise to Bengali Cave and a fabulous lunch at a waterfront restaurant with the freshest seafood. We were treated like VIPs the entire day with luxurious, comfortable accommodations throughout the excursion. For the ULTIMATE custom, bespoke tour of The Algarve, look no further and book this one - Jose is SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

5.00Filipe did a great job driving us, taking pictures, and explaining the history behind many aspects of our trip and Portugal in general. He also added bonuses like showing us stork nests and cork trees. Our family had a great time!
Do not pass this one up

5.00Do not pass this one up—this is the tour you need to book! Our guide and driver, Filipe, was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had an intuitive sense of what we needed before we even asked. The day started with a scenic drive around Silves Castle, where we learned all about Portugal’s cork trees, vineyards, and orange groves. Honestly, I learned more about the country on this tour than anywhere else! We then explored the Seven Hanging Valleys trailhead and Doll’s Cave before heading to the highly anticipated boat ride. Filipe picked the perfect excursion for us: a small boat with only nine passengers. This allowed us to navigate much deeper into the caves than the larger vessels, all while feeling completely safe. It was easily the highlight of our vacation. Afterward, Filipe already had a wonderful seaside restaurant booked for us, where we enjoyed a delicious meal overlooking the ocean. To top it off, he made a clever detour to Albufeira to avoid heavy traffic, giving us a chance to explore a beautiful town instead of sitting in a car. We returned to Lisbon tired but incredibly happy. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
Great Day

5.00Felipe Crespo is an outstanding guide. We spent 12 hours in his company as he escorted us around the Algarve. His knowledge of Portugal in general and the Algarve in particular is encyclopedic. He is warm and engaging with a wonderful sense of humor. We could not recommend him higher.
We saw everything Algarve has to offer. It was breathtaking.

Private tour from Lisbon to Algarve and Benagil cave

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We took this long 10 hr tour from Lisbon to Algarve region and loved every part of it. Our driver Felipe was very professional and picked us up in e brand new Mercedes EQS. Drive to south of Portugal is long but beautiful. We reached and first did an hour-long hike along the cliffs visiting natural cave formations. This was capped by a fresh OJ at a local stand .Later we took a 2 hr boat trip to the Benagil cave. Boat was somewhat small and the waters were choppy in March but the thrill and vistas were worth it. Lunch was recommended by our driver at a family run oceanfront restaurant "Mar e sol" in a dreamy town called Portimau. On our way back we stopped at another beachside cafe to grab an espresso . People everywhere were nice and welcoming. This trip is definitely recommended without doubt! Thanks Felipe for making our day memorable!
