5.00Driver/guide was very friendly and provided lots of information on the history of the area, the industries and the agriculture. Only my wife and I on the tour. Highly recommended.

5.00We did this tour and we were the only ones on it. It was great. We saw some gems of Portugal. So I know some reviews said don’t waste money and drive yourself but honestly you could not enjoy the landscape and views. It was actually one of the better tours I have taken since in Portugal. Sergio was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was just us he told us to take our time. We even had a glass of wine and enjoyed the view
Fun!!!

5.00We took jeep tour into the Monchique Sierra using the side and logging roads [Nature Tours ?]. Fabulous. Pristine forest, isolated farmhouses and homes, olive and cork orchards, yellow and white [Esteva] flowered bushes everywhere. Steep winding roads up to Monchique and then to the top [3000 feet] where there is a NATO com centre and a 360 degree panorama to the coast and the sierra.
Lovely tour with a great guide

5.00We had a great tour with Sergio .. he made the tour so interesting . He was so friendly , funny and informative . The villages were pretty and set high in the mountains . Unfortunately the view was spoiled by the cloudy weather . I loved seeing the storks and their large nests high on the telegraph poles .
A good trip

1.00Absolutely horrendous trip. Its was all going fine until the drive home. Our driver fell asleep at the wheel and crossed the road into on coming traffic. We had to wake him in a panic to get onto our own side avoiding an accident. We asked him was he ok, was he falling asleep. He said he was fine. He continued to veer to the left for the whole trip back on the motorway crossing the line and then pulling back into his own lane. He also pulled out in front of car. We got out once we were within walking distance of our hotel. The tour company issued a full refund when we contacted them, which we appreciate but have not contacted us since offering any explanation for what happened. To say we were traumatised is an understatement.
Wonderful Day Trip
