Jose was fantastic
KevAndDulce, 18-09-2022
Our tour guide Jose was a complete A-Z of f everything that the local area and Algarve in general has to offer. His love his job was clear to see. If you are looking for a different way to spend a morning and to learn about local culture and history then this trip is certainly worth going on.
Another side of Albuferia
Megan F, 20-09-2022
amazing half day trip, tour guide was amazing. really enjoyed it - a great break from the hustle and bustle of the old town/strip of albuferia you get to see another side of Albuferia.

Only downfall is we went on a Sunday and there wasnt much open so didnt get to do much tasting - went home with some freshly picked oranges though!
Roy deserves a mention

Very enjoyable and a chance to see a bit of rural Algarve. The driver Roy was very knowledgeable and obviously enjoys his work. I left an item on the vehicle after our drop off and before I realised it was missing, Roy returned it to the hotel. Thank you.
100% worth it!

Jose was incredible! He gave us the best tour and went out of his way to give us insights in all the local culture. We had the best time, especially as you could tell he was so passionate about what he was doing. I’ve told all my family the fun facts that he told us on the trip! Thank you!!!
Excellent Experience.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure our experience was the best it could be. Our guide informed us of the resources Algave has to sustain life from fruits to nuts and everything in between. Bravo, Mary Lou Welch

Very disappointing
hoibgoidb, 28-09-2022
We loved Joseph! He was a wealth of knowledge that he enjoyed sharing. We were also extremely disappointed that we weren't told upon booking that the castle would not be open on a Tuesday! That's the 1 thing we most looked forward to seeing. The windmill was also not opened! So, another thing promised that we didn't get to see. We paid full price but got half of a tour! Really a rip-off.
