About this activity

Built on top of a cliff, the Chapel of Sra. Da Rocha allows you to admire the beautiful coast and rock formations. Heading west you will be presented to Ferragudo village, a traditional fishing village that overlooks the Portimão estuary. After crossing the Arade River though the old bridge, you will have the opportunity to contemplate from the top of the Fort of Santa Catarina viewpoint, the river, the mouth of the river and the long Praia da Rocha. Arriving at the charming city of Lagos an optional one-hour boat trip will amaze you as it takes our tourists to Ponta da Piedade caves and rock formations. A must do experience. The historic center still retains its distinctive character, with cobbled streets, authentic restaurants, and an atmosphere which is relaxed and welcoming. A fascinating and unforgettable tour along the coast. An amazing experience to remember.

Amazing, comprehensive Tour of the Algarve

Johnny provided a comprehensive view of the region in the time allowed. He patiently waited for my husband and I to disembark from our cruise ship and remained very attentive to the needs of my husband who has a disability. Touring the market and caves in Lagos was the highlight for me. Johnny took us to many unique, interesting areas we would not have found on our own.

Fantastic 2 Days with Johnny

Our extended family of 8 had a fantastic two days with Johnny. He took us to Lagos and the surrounding areas. We went to secret overlooks, beaches, cute fishing villages, amazing restaurants. His knowledge of the history and areas is so interesting and fascinating. He was great with my 92 year old elderly father as well as our kids. I wish I would have found Johnny earlier in our holiday as I would book everything with Johnny for the inside track on what to do and where to go.

Loule and Tavira Private Tour

Johnny is a consummate professional, entertaining with wonderful anecdotes. We visited Loule Market, walked around to the Castle and other sites. Stopped for lunch in Olhao where he suggested spots for lunch. Onto Tavira where we were able to see a brief Fado show at a very reasonable price (10€ each). A lovely time exploring the highlights. En route back to Albufeira, he stopped at a tiny fishing village with amazing views. A thoughtful guide and an incredible day!
