Great tour in Albufeira! - Had an amazing walking tour together with Joana. She was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. Very professional while still keeping a lighthearted vibe during the tour with many laughters.

Get to know the other side of Albufeira - This tour is amazing! We were a group of three and wanted to know more about Albufeira's history. The city is very popular for partying but it was amazing to hear the history, get to know more about the food, culture of the Algarve. The guide is very very well informed, super friendly and shared a lot of information on how to experience the culture of the Algarve including some hidden gems.
Definitely recommend this on the first day you arrive!
The tour ends with some wine, cheese and other local treats.

Walking tour of Albufeira - We took a tour of the historical points of Albufeira in which we got to know a little about this Algarve city that has so much to offer and discover. We ended the tour in a typical tavern!!
It is worth highlighting the availability and the way the entire tour was organized. I loved it and highly recommend it.

OK tour, story telling would benefit from a bit more structure/ context - Ok tour and a nice guide (Joanna). Delicious treats at the end of tour (both wine and Portuguese snacks). A suggestion for improvement: As someone who has been to over 50+ walking tours worldwide (both in small towns like this and big cities), my view is that it would be a better experience if there was a bit more context at the start of the tour (i.e. story of overall Portugal, region, history, even if Albufeira isn't very historically important) and potentially some visual aids (pictures of how it used to look before).
