Great trip - Great way to see more of the beautiful Portuguese villages & stunning coastline. Our guide Jamie was knowledgeable & friendly. Great day! Would have been nice to have more time at the castle but trip well worth doing.

Highly recommended - We had the pleasure of going on this tour with Cody and Joanna. It was exactly what we wanted to see and included Our Lady of the Rock, Porches, Praia de Marino, the Seven hidden valleys, Corvoerio, and Silves. Their car was comfortable and they gave us enough time to see each site. They were very knowledgeable about the history of the area, and told great stories. Their English was easy to understand. Super pleasant people and a highly recommended tour.

Great tour - Lovely tour of the coastline of Albufeira and orange capital of the Algarve. Cody was very knowledgeable and always had interesting little nuggets of information at each of the stops on the tour and was even kind enough to take some lovely pictures to keep at souvenirs. Was lovely to see Benagil from above after seeing it from the sea previously. We also drove through some of the smaller towns in Algarve which was lovely to see! The stop at Silves was the perfect place for the end of the tour with ample time to explore the castle and enjoy the deliciously sweet fresh orange juice. Perfect experience for anyone who wants a short and sweet tour of the most beautiful areas in Albuferia, would be great for first time visitors to the area or anyone who wants to see the main highlights in half a day.

Waste of valuable vacation time - The guide was doing his best, but this tour was a miserable vacation day. Our first vehicle, with no air conditioning, broke down so we transferred to a car. It was a very hot day and we were all crammed into a car with barely functioning air conditioning. Most of our time was spent looking for parking spots at crowded beach lots. We did see beaches and cliffs at each, but this got repetitive. Finally saw a castle at the end, we were exhausted and grateful to be done. I strongly discourage this tour, especially in hot weather. The driver did his best but this tour was poorly planned.
