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.

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.
It was a brill tour ,...

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.

We went for the whole day and so glad we did , Gil the driver was excellent and spoke in French & English throughout the day. Met some great lads so had a very enjoyable day exploring the rugged terrain
A great way to lear

Our guide Herben (AKA Ben) was very knowledgeable about the history and socioeconomic state of the area (Albufeira) and took us on a very interesting, informative and scenic tour.
He had a great sense of humour and was more than happy to answer questions.
In our 4 hour jeep safari, we visited a Castle, Goji berry farm for firewater tasting, a cork farm and went up into the mountains via a number of small villages. My kids not only thoroughly enjoyed the trip, but also learnt a lot on the way. It was a fun way to spend the afternoon and it was great that we were collected and dropped back at our hotel, making it a very much effortless exercise.
Would highly recommend - you get to see areas that might otherwise be missed!!!
Experience never to forget

I liked the excitement of the driver George, who is passionate of his Country, loved the experience of the jeep and seeing the real Portugal, as George asked are you enjoying 'Portugese massage. haa certainly bumpy and rough , good tough shoes needed . loved the Almond trees where you tried fresh fresh almonds, saw all the farm animals .the cork trees and Moorish.Castle, so pleased took this experience trip, although the waterfall had dried up so no swimming ,i believe others on our trip was wanting to do, shame they cannot update their leaflets to let people know the drought has stopped the swimming part. But thankyou George you are another experience keep up the good work x
Tour with George.

We were originally seated on a jeep that had to many people on and didn't understand what the tour guide was speaking about. When we arrived at the castle we swapped jeeps and George was our tour guide. he was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We had such a great experience with George and his happy personality. Would recommend this tour but not if they overfil the jeep as I felt like I was going to fall out when we went off road.
Overall great experience.
