Little gem on the Algarve - Vile Real de Santo Antonio is an absolute pearl on the Algarve. Beautiful town with a wonderful ambiance. The paved close streets gives you a pleasant vibe. Great little market on the square offering fabulous local products and locally made delights. A waterfront looking over to Spain. Pleasant people and multicultural visitors

Great eastern algarve overview. - We enjoyed seeing several other towns in the Algarve. Especially liked Tavira, lunch along the river and panoramic view from the castle were our favorites.

Disappointing! - The drive and bus commentary were good and the highlights of Olhos and Tavira were also enjoyable. I was very disappointed as the final destination, Vila Real de Santo was dropped from the itinerary with no prior notice or announcement from the tour guide, so when I thought we were going to set off for San Antonio, I then realized that the trip was over and we were heading back. We felt that we only got 75% of what we paid for and that some credit ought to be refunded

West Algarve Tour - The pick up coach was 30 minutes late not informed it was going to be late and fobbed off with the excuse about a coach Had an accident the driver then drove like a maniac making us all feel very unsafe!! Then the rest of the morning was rushed Faro only had enough time to look quickly at the Cathedral the next stop Olhio was a complete waste of time gave you enough time to look at the market which really was not interesting and then straight back to the coach would have seen enough just driving through the next 2 stops were much better although the last stop 1 1/2 hours would have been long enough and another 1/2 hour in Faro the wifi was not working and we had to sit right at the back very uncomfortable and hot trouble getting out of the seat as so cramped only fit for kids? The Guide got off the coach leaving us behind as it took everybody so long to get off😡🙄 struggling to catch up and we are fast walkers would not recommend this tour especially after such a good tour a few days previous

The never again tour. - This was the worst tour I have ever experienced. We were joined to the tour late, the tour guide was rude to us and she made absolutely no effort to keep couples together on the bus by putting singles together. We were two couples that got split with other singles. The tour guide could have asked two of the singles to double up to keep us together but did not. She spent more time talking to the driver than talking about the sights and scenery. When we arrived at an interest stop all she did was drop us off and everyone was on their own. I was never so glad for a tour to çome to an end as I was this tour. I would never recommend the East Algarve tour from this company to anyone. It was a ripoff. They need to get rid of that tour guide. I was unable to split the star in half for the rating. One star is too much!
