They would really enjoy it. Fred shared excellent history of the Portugal area. . We went on backroads through rivers and narrow bumpy roads. He was an excellent driver. I liked learning more about the cork trees. We saw small towns. Some of the ways fruit and herbs were used in the production of liquors and jams. Drove to the top of a high hill for a beautiful panorama of the countryside. It was an entertaining and educational day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1/2 day afternoon tour with Juan. He was knowledgeable and funny but most of all fun. We were able to see sights that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. Very cool to know where cork comes from!

Tiago was our guide and we had a fantastic tour with him. He was very informative as we passed through villages and orange Groves, farmland and towns. He seemed very proud to be Portuguese and to show his country to us. Loved his humour and showing us things like the old laundries! He excelled at off road driving and showing his beloved Toyotas roadworthy skills. Much fun being able to stand in the jeep and hangbon for dear life. Brilliant! Worth every euro, pick up and deliver back to hotel! Highly recommended! Cheers Tiago x

This was a great experience. It was a tour done with coworkers and family members. Prior to the tour, we had only been at the beach resort and the couple of strips with shops and restaurants. So it felt similar to any beach town selling you things. But the tour is a great introduction to local history, day-to-day life, culture, architecture and local economy while winding through narrow roads, up hillsides and more. The 4x4 and rough terrain gave it a safari feel. Everyone in our group was happy with experience and glad we had a little taste of Portugal and Albufeira that was more than trinket shops. Our guide was great.
