You have to go! It's amazing. The guide is very good and frendly and knows every thing about the places we visit.
We found it to be a great day out. The driver/guide was very friendly and entertaining, with good knowledgeable of the area, the history and the vegetation, occasionally stopping to pick a herb for us to guess what it was. The lunch consisted of a nice meal with a choice of wine, sangria, orangeade and water. There was various stops, one of which was at a village distillery to try the local spirit and also some homemade jams and honey. We've been on a couple of excursions, both of which were good, but this on was by far the best.
This was an incredible tour. The tour guide was very personable and funny and definitely knew a lot about Portugal’s history. He showed us a bunch of wild plants and told us how they can be used which definitely peaked my interest. We stopped at a distillery which was a fun tasting experience. It was a very intimate tour with only 6 people which made it great to ask questions and get to know everyone. I would highly highly recommend going on this tour.
We did the full day with the kids. Thomas our guide was amazing, knowledgeable and lots of fun. The scenery was beautiful and the trail he took us was great. The coffee stop and lunch were also great… people were lovely. We would very much recommend.
Excellent day out - our guide Thomas was very knowledgeable and ensured we had a great experience. We took swimwear and a towel to swim in the natural spring and I’d highly recommend others do the same. The lunch was excellent and the information Thomas shared about the local area was very interesting. Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again next time we return to Albufeira. The ride wasn’t too rough and there were seats in the front that were more shaded and more comfortable for those that needed them.
What a lovely day, filled with info as we discovered the more Inland view of the Algarve. Diego was Informative and ensured all 5 of us were understanding the sites visited. I highly recommend this tour, it was worth every euro!!
