Review of Albufeira walking tour - This was a great tour, and we recommend it. My wife and i were a bit late ( 5 minutes) but the tour operator reached out to us to guide us to where the group was. We were very appreciative of this.
Walk was through the town of Albufeira and we certainly learned a variety of cool things, including about the giant earthquake and tidal wave that wiped out the city. Finished up at a little cafe where we each got a glass of wine and some Tapas. All was as advertised and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Top rate tour with excellent guide. - An enjoyable and informative tour. We would highly recommend.
Mena our tour guide was excellent, she showed us places we would never have found by ourselves.
She was very proud of her town and its heritage. Not being history buffs we found the tour just right. It was relaxed and interesting.
With a welcome glass of wine and tapas to finish.
Thank you Mena. Wishing you many more successful tours. Kevin and Sally.

Albufiera History Walking Tour with wine and tapas - we were met by Cody and Joanna who were very attentive and informative. they led us on a 2 hour tour of the old parts of Albufiera explaining the history and stories of the old town. We had been to Albufiera a few times, but were pleased to see parts we knew nothing about or didnt know these interesting parts were there.
after the tour we ended in a small friendly Tapas bar and had great tapas and a lovely glass of wine.
a great 2 hours spent - thanks very much

Well organised - While Albuferia lacks the historical charm of other towns in the Algarve The tour Is excellent in uncovering gems of history which you easily walk by without noticing The guide was great with the right amount of information And a stop for tapas and wine was a nice conclusion

Loved it and would always recommend it - The tour was amazing! Mena told us a lot about the history of Albufeira and gave us an extensive tour of the town. We saw some places that we definitely would’ve missed without her and got a glimpse of what Albufeira used to look and be like. We were also able to ask some questions that we had about recommendations of places to go for food and drinks as well as things to do outside of Albufeira.
The tapas bar where we ended the tour had a nice selection of typical Portuguese tapas and a good selection of wine. We will definitely visit the place again. She also told us that it is a place where the locals go to and we definitely saw that.
We were also told that we can contact her if we have additional questions about the area or need more recommendations. All in all a success and very much worth it.
