  • Beautiful one-day tour in the western Algarve

    Excellent day trip to the historic west of the Algarve. The organization was perfect and everything went smoothly. Many thanks to Andre, our guide, for his professionalism and sympathy. His explanations were clear and very interesting, which allowed us to learn a lot about the region. I highly recommend this visit.

    This was a disappointing tour! A lot of driving but not enough time for having a look around the sites and towns. A 90 minute lunch stop at a shabby roadside cafe added to the time management issues. The whole thing needs to be changed to maximise time. They should drop people in Lagos for at least 2 hours so that people could have lunch or choose to spend more time seeing the sites. There was not enough time to see the castle and have a good look around Silves. Too many miles covered to be able to properly enjoy each place

    Johnny was great. Nice smiling and taking care of people. He makes the effort to speak in French even if he says he does not know. The excursion was top pity that he did not order the good weather 😉😁

  • A look historical Algarve and more.

    We well informed by Jonny, who was both the guide and driver. He not only took us to several historic places but also provided interesting information regarding the Algarve. There was a stop for lunch, costing 22 Euros, which was well worth it. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

  • Excellent tour guide ( Johnny)

    Excellent tour guide called Johnny. He was fun, chatty and made the tour very interesting. He took us to a restaurant for lunch and he was great but the lady who was in charge of our table of 12 of us sounded a bit rude. Not only to us. She was telling things to Johnny in a harsh way too. But the tour was great and we even met some very lovely people on the tour who kept in touch.

    Absolutely amazing trip. And that was even without the sun shining! Not much we could do about that! The guide (Jonny) was absolutely superb. We saw a lot of places, but his insight was top drawer. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

    A wonderful day out. Saw the sights: geography, architecture and culture. Our driver was outstanding: knowledgeable, friendly and gracious.

  • Historic Algarve as a short trip

    UweHeinz S,Nov 19, 2025

    The driver told a lot about the culture, the history of Portugal and also nice episodes. Unfortunately, despite hearing aids, my husband did not understand everything because the driver spoke English very quickly and partly incomprehensible. At two destinations the time for sightseeing was too short. We would have liked to have used the tasting of alcohol differently, as would the lunch. Since we didn't want to eat, we were forced to sit down in the restaurant and drink coffee. Out of 8 guests, only two couples ate something. Some places, like Lagos we would like to visit again.

  • Impressive castle in Silves and beautiful river/ocean front town of Lagos. Best views of Cape Saint Vicent.

    Our tour guide, Johnny was prompt in picking us up at the designated area and happily entertained us with historical anecdotes along the way to various stops. The first stop at Silves, we were instructed on how to reach the castle (entry was not included) and given an hour and 10 minutes to see it plus the surrounding town. The castle didn’t disappoint and the town had a quaint architecture. The town church was closed unfortunately as well as the museum. The second stop was the oceanside town of Lagos which was very impressive with its churches, fortress walls, colorful boats along the river canal, and quaint little streets filled with local restaurants and shops. Johnny took us to a small restaurant for lunch (not included in the tour price) which we paid 22 Euros per person for all you can drink (wine, juice, or sodas), bread, olives, cheese, prosciutto, a main dish (choice of chicken, fish, blacken pork or vegetarian dish) and a slice of cake for dessert. Well worth it and delicious. The last leg of our tour was Cape Saint Vincent (also known as the end of the world). The views were overwhelmingly astonishing. No pictures can do it justice. You have to experience it in person to comprehend it’s majestic beauty. Definitely recommend this tour although it didn’t include costs of castle entry and lunch (costs approximately 28 Euros in total).

  • Lovely day pit

    This was a lovely trip, the driver was knowledgeable and friendly and there was plenty of time at each stop. The only negative I would say about the experience was the lunch. We ordered the grilled chicken for €22 each and did not feel it was valid for money but others had a different meal which they enjoyed. It was great to be given information about each location then being able to go off and explore.
