We took a 2.30hr tour around the hills and villages of albuferia and the surrounding villages, we had two buggies one driven by my wife with our 7 year old daughter - the other with myself and our 10 year old son, we all loved it - best experience of the holiday. The guide Helder was amazing, the buggies were fast and so much fun ! I couldn’t recommend this experience enough ! A must do experience for anyone visiting the Algarve.

Awesome buggy safari tour of the Algarve area. Brilliant buggies and excellent guide who took us along really great tracks on which you could floor the buggies safely and enjoy a thrilling experience. Great experience for a group of friends and highly recommend.

My husband and I did a private buggy tour while on our honeymoon in the Algarve. Elder and Bernardo were our guides. Bernardo was the photographer. Had such a fun time driving around in the hills and through villages seeing things we definitely wouldn’t have seen otherwise. At each of our stops Elder and Bernardo told us some facts about the area, plants, trees, etc. We had a great time and so happy we chose these guys to be our guides. Highly recommend!!!

Helter gave us a great family time with our two teenagers. To do again when we return next year. Quality buggies! Thanks to Bernardo for bombarding us with photos! Everything is included, even small bottles of cold water! Really it was perfect.

A fantastic trip not to be missed under any circumstances :) A ton of dust that provides a lot of sensations. The buggies are powerful and very maneuverable.
