Fantastic tour and experience - you will not be disappointed! - You can’t go wrong with GL tours! I have used them several times over the last couple of years and Gabriel’s knowledge of the area and sites is phenomenal! He will take you on tours that show the authentic Portugal, focusing on a specific area and must see sites contained within. I especially love that he showcases local restaurants, sites and experiences - not just the run of the mill tourist spots. His sense of humor and love of his country is apparent throughout the tours. I will always use his services and recommend him to everyone I know!

Algarves Gem - This was our second tour with Gabriel and we loved it! His passion was a pleasure to be around and his depth of expertise, first class. If you want to experience genuine Portegese culture, tailored to your likes, he's your guy. Book early.

Best of the Algarve - This tour is 5+++ Stars!! We couldn't have asked for a better day as we sampled the Algarve on our full day tour with Gabriel! Gabriel has excellent transportation with powerful AC and he is safe, gracious, kind, knowledgeable, and his humor adds an extra fun element to the day! We loved getting to know Gabriel and the Algarve he loves so much. Our views were from the countryside, the beach/marinas, and the cities which gave everyone in the family something special. Our lunch was delicious with authentic seafood, so delicious in fact that my teenager RAVED that the tuna was the BEST he's ever had! Gabriel can create a special day for anyone based on their wishes. We are truly grateful for this experience and highly recommend Gabriel's services. Obrigado!!!

Wonderful Experience from a Local Expert - Gabrielle came to us as a recommendation from a family friend and we are so appreciative to have had the experience and time with him, He is truly an expert about the stunning Algarve region and is happy to customize your experience. We visited some incredible architecture in Faro and Tavira after Gabrielle picked us up in Albufiera. He recommended an amazing restaurant for lunch, that had the most mouthwatering octupus we’ve ever tried! He even added a visit to a gorgeous beach when he learned how much we love the sea. It was an amazingly memorable day that was enhanced by all the insights her shared about his country and region as someone who’s lived there his whole life. You will not be sorry if you book a tour with Gabrielle.

Book Gabriel! - My friends and I had a wonderful tour experience with Gabriel! He was on time, kept us on schedule but didn't rush the pace of our exploration, made us feel safe and made sure one of our friends who left early still got a full experience before heading to the airport in Faro. Gabriel is from Faro and his passion and knowledge for the area shines through. He curated a day for us that felt specific to what we were interested in and wanted to see. He lets you rest if you want to rest, is easy to engage in meaningful conversation if you want to chat. His knowledge of the area also extends to his relationships with restaurant and shop owners. He took us to a wonderful locally owned restaurant in Faro called Old Tavern. We had a delicious meal and lots of laughs. The end of our day culminated in pasties de nata at Riviera. Gabriel loves Albufeira and it shows. I highly recommend him for your tour of the region!

Special service from a friend - My wife and I spent a day with Gabriel to visit Faro and Tavira from Albufeira.
We had never met Gabriel before, yet he made us feel like a friend. A great trait for a private tour guide.
Gabriel showed us around the shopping malls in Faro where we saw the famed tiled patterns of the walkways. We also visited the old town where Gabriel took a few photos for us instead of us trying the selfie.
We were also treated to a lovely coffee on the roof top restaurant of the Hotel Faro.
Gabriel also hooked us up with lunch on our way to Tavira. He called ahead and booked a table at A Casa Santa Luzia. Luckily because people were queuing to get a table. And no wonder, the octopus lagareiro was always excellent. Well recommended by Gabriel.
After lunch we walked the old town of Tavira plus some local areas. It was nice to just stroll through the streets.
On our way back to Albufeira, Gabriel took a detour to show us a cliff top view of the beaches east of Albufeira.
All up the tour was great with service from a friend.
Thank you Gabriel..
