Jose was fantastic

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

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.
