5.00Had a great experience. The guide explained well about the places and gave enoug time to spend on every place. The car is very comfortable and clean and neat. Would be nice if they do a hotel pickup but not a big deal.
Scenic road tour!

5.00This was a terrific tour! The sights were beautiful and our guide was exceptional! Not only did he provide the information that went with each area we visited but he also took the time to answer any and all questions. No rush, we were allowed to take time when we wanted. A wonderful way to see some of the beauty Portugal has to offer.
Awesome. Will recommend

5.00This was my favorite tour in my entire trip to Portugal and Spain. I loved the spectacular natural terraces, balconies, pools, windows, doorways, pathways, rooms, tunnels, bridges etc of Algar Seco in Carvoeiro. João was a caring guide who helped us explore these unusual and tricky rock formations. I recommend this tour for even 50+ year old travelers like me especially when you have a guide who looks out for you :)
I really enjoyed the day....

5.00Do not buy gifts at all of the touristy stores- wait until you get to the real pottery at the end of the tour!!! Geraldine was incredible! Highly recommend this tour- no need to see by boat- and it was raining at the end of the trip so I can't imagine being miserable on a boat during the rain!
