Lovely tour and tasting - Really enjoyed the winery tour and tasting, and the safari drive as well! Got the chance to learn about the history of the locally owned winery and their process of making wine, and the wines we tasted were lovely as well. The safari tour was also great, and we got to see some really nice scenery, with the tour guide being very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We were also taken to their own farm, where we got to try some of their homemade treats such as spirits and jams! Would definitely recommend to someone looking to do a more relaxed activity during their time in Albufeira.

Friendly and informational - We got a tour around the city where our guide explained all of the unique flora of Portugal as we drove by the various trees. Our guide was friendly and informational. We got to try some flavoured liqueur (classic Portugal flavours) as well as some local jams. We ended the tour at a winery where we got a tour and to taste their wines. Fun experience to meet some new people and to enjoy with those you already know.

A great experience - My Wife and I took a half day tour which included a really cool jeep ride through the countryside outside Albufeira and also a visit to a winery where we had the opportunity to sample four delicious wines. Along the way we stopped off to sample some locally produced spirits and dipping sauces. Our driver Miguel picked us up at our hotel and was very friendly and was very informative about the things that we saw along the way. He stopped at various places to show us some of the locally grown produce such as almonds, wild fennel and of course the acres and acres of oranges! We also stopped off at a small village where we had an opportunity to grab a coffee and some homemade treats as well as visit the bathroom. When we went offroad and away from villages we could stand up in the back of the jeep and really get a good view of our surroundings. Overall, we had a great time on the tour and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone that's looking for an activity with a difference that won't take up the whole day.

Great but could be better. - The 4x4 drive was fun and the guide was great. We were expecting a tour with several stops and wine tasting throughout the tour. Unfortunately it wasn't like that. We first drove through the countryside around Albufeira for two hours, stopping at a local farmers' market that looked like it had been created just for Alsafari Tours. We were then taken directly to the vineyard where we were able to see all aspects of wine production. Only then, after three hours, did we get our first wine glasses and the long-awaited opportunity to drink some water. An improvement would be to change the order of the events: start with the wine tasting, followed by the drive through the countryside. It would also be great if the tour description gave a clearer explanation of the tour.
