Great trip - Great trip. We considered hiring a car and going to the same places but so glad we went on the trip as Riu told us and showed us so many interesting things along the way. Would certainly recommend.

Travel with Benny - We enjoyed tours of the western portion and eastern portion of the Algarve with our guide, Benny. Since we were not staying in Albufeira, it was convenient for pickup from the McDonalds. We enjoyed visiting sites throughout the Algarve that we never would have done on our own. Benny’s commentary was informative and enjoyable- excellent tour guide!

Excellent tour, highly recommend. - A wonderful tour in a small group of 7, our tour guide Benny was so knowledgeable and we learned lots we didn't know about Portugal. Some really lovely stops along the way with time to explore and stunning scenery we otherwise would not have seen. We would definitely recommend this tour, and it's really good value for money. Thank you Benny for a lovely day, from the four Scottish ladies!

Good trip - Good trip, good driver. Not really much to see until the final stop (the Preserve). Mostly you are dropped off at towns for an hour and then you move on. At least you have the opportunity to see the Eastern Algarve. Would do it if you’ve never seen it.

Get away with husband - I really didn’t care for this tour and their safari tour very much. The vans are run down and they are more of a transportation company. You get dropped off at each place and get picked up. Not much information is given on the areas. I would not use them nor recommend them.
