Highly recommended

Our driver, Hugo, was very friendly and knowledgable and spoke clearly so everyone could hear. This was an interesting tour and gives the opportunity to see the Algarve away from tourist hotspots which you won’t get to otherwise. Some of the roads aren’t for inexperienced drivers but Hugo made us feel very safe.

Half day jeep safari tour

Excellent jeep safari tour. Our guide was really knowledgeable. The history and the sights were all fantastic. Shame we didn't get to see the waterfall due to the drought conditions being experienced at the moment. Would highly recommend!

Amazing

What a fantastic experience my wife and I had thought this would be a gentle pootle around the Portuguese country side , WRONG , this was a full on white knuckle ride and we loved it , stopping off at various sites along the way, then hurtling down dirt roads at speed with ACDC Highway to Hell and others blasting out , Marco was our rally car driver and he definitely made the trip , with his humour knowledge of the area, stopping by road sides picking all manor of herbs and telling us about them, cruising by pomegranate , peach , cork , mango plantations, well done Marco you made the trip for us.

Half day tour 1st December

Great experience. We were collected from Alfagar hotel by Benny, who is a Dutch national who has lived in Portugal many years. Very knowledgeable not just about the local region but of Portugal in general. The route is as described but does not fully justify the fantastic views of the area, only accessible along mountain tracks. Great morning which opened our eyes to rural Algarve.

Great fun, great tour guide

Thanks to George, we had a lot of fun. Beautiful scenery, a fantastic experience seeing local farms and villages. Ending up at the highest peak to watch the sun go down. George timed all the trip to perfection. He was full of enthusiasm and lots of interesting facts and personal stories. He was a great driver who made the ride fun but we felt safe at all times. He took us to buy fruit from local farmers and he knew lots about the trees and fruit. He told us about the history at the castle and gave us time in the perfect spots for great photos.
