Picturesque Countryside

Beautiful scenery, exquisite views from mountain top and seaside cliffs! Great tour of the Western Algarve. A good way to see as much as possible if you are only in Portugal for a short period of time. Tour guide was excellent (Celia) and she kept everything on time! Appreciated that lunch was offered, but the food was not worth the price. The server was not friendly, the french fries tasted of oil, the dessert was more of a confection than dessert. Tour company should consider finding a different venue for lunch, or express dissatisfaction with the meal and service provided.

Lovely trip

Even though we did not spend alot of time in each place, it was lovely to see so many places in one day. Ana the guide was so lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Her English and German was explanatory. If you want to see a few places in the western Algarve in one day, this trip is for you xx thank you Ana

Not the best Viator experience

Knowledgeable guide, beautiful destinations. Massive bus and 30 or more people. One of the detainees last I have appreciated during many Viator sponsored trips in countries around the world is the intimate feel and small group nimbleness. At least two hours of this trip was travel No to individual pick up and drop off for each couple. Tedious!
