Amazing trip! - We had a wonderful time! This is a beautiful area and worth the trip. David was accommodating in pickup and drop off location and great with communication before the trip. He was flexible to customize the trip to the things we were most interested in seeing and had a great local place to have lunch.

Highly Recommend - I highly recommend this tour. We spent the day with Daniel and he could not have been better or done any more for us. He ensured that we were comfortable, both in the car and while walking around. He took us to places with amazing food and views and gave us all the time we wanted at each stop. He was knowledgeable about Portugal's history and he felt like a good friend by the time our day was over.

Just AMAZING - David planned a fantastic day. His knowledge, care, and attention to detail made the day special, especially with activities like the 2 ½ hour ride to the southern tip of Portugal, the boat ride around the Algarve caves, a walking tour in Lagos, time spent at a beautiful beach, and planning a fantastic lunch at an amazing seafood restaurant in Lagos. Finding a tour guide who goes above and beyond to create a fantastic experience is always great. We travel a lot, and we've never had a better day than the 12 hours we spent with him. Spend the money and take this tour! You'll never experience a better tour anywhere in the world. David, both Lori and I look forward to seeing you again. If you're ever in the USA, please call me. You have my number, and we will reciprocate. Thanks for the memories, Howard

Awesome day trip to Algarve - My wife and I spent two weeks in Portugal and wanted our last day to include the Algarve region. We signed up for a privately guided trip with David based on his great reviews. The reviews were correct. The trip was perfect and I echo all of the great reviews. David confirmed time and meeting spot ahead of time and even brought some towels for us to use at the beach. He picked us up in a Tesla, which was very clean and comfortable. He is very nice and speaks English fluently. He ensured we got on the early boat ride to see the caves on the coast, making sure to call ahead so they wouldn’t depart without us. After a great boat ride, he then took us to a nice lunch spot for fresh seafood and gave us some alone time for some relaxation at the beach. A final stop at another great viewpoint and then drive back to Lisbon. Brought us some fresh squeezed orange juice as well for the drive back, which was incredibly good. I would not hesitate to book a tour with David again and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again David!

The most incredible day trip! - This was the most incredible day trip my cousin and I have ever been on! From the get go, Daniel and David were very friendly, communicative, and organized. Prior to our trip, they checked in with us regarding whether we wanted to take the optional boat ride through the beaches and caves of Carvoeiro and Benagil (which we would highly recommend!) and took into consideration what we wanted to see and do. Daniel was the best guide we could have asked for. He gave my cousin and I the most incredible day and experience of our trip in Portugal. He made our trip go so smoothly and perfectly. He went above and beyond throughout the entire day and made sure to customize every part of the trip based on our interests. He was extremely well-organized, patient, considerate, accommodating, informative, and kind. We were amazed by how much we saw in the span of a day. We would highly recommend this experience!

So much fun along the Algarve Coast! - If I could give this tour 10 stars I would. David was simply the best. He picked us up from our hotel and we immediately felt at home with him. He drove us from Lisbon to the Algarve Coast. We stopped in Marionha Beach, Benajil Caves, and Logoa. The day consisted of hiking, sightseeing, a boat ride through the caves in Lagoa, an amazing authentic Portuguese lunch, a walk on the beach, and lots of laughs. If you’re thinking about a day trip to the Algarve, look no further and book here!

Worth every penny and more! - This trip was full of tours but our Algarve experience with David was the highlight of our time in Portugal. Even with the clouds, it was stunning. He came prepared for everything! He tailored the tour to what we wanted to see and never rushed a thing. He even brought snacks! In retrospect, we should have cancelled the other tours and solely used David’s expertise and guidance. This tour was unforgettable!

Exceeding Expectations in Algarve - Do yourself a favor and ask for Daniel or David. They are very thorough and attentive detail. Our trip started on time and we had full control over the schedule. He gave us great suggestions and did not leave us a stray. He also gave us some things to think about which we took advantage of and we’re so glad that we did. Five stars is not enough, but for sure will be back and we will ask for the same company.!

Magic in the Algarve - Daniel made our trip to the Algarve amazing. We experienced so many different parts of the coast. We started with the optional boat ride and Daniel had delicious fresh squeezed orange juice waiting for us. We headed to a lovely lunch spot where we enjoyed conversation with Daniel. After lunch we headed to explore the coast from the land, Lagos (where my husband had to stop for ice cream!), carvoerio, and Praia da Marinha. At each place we stopped Daniel took the time to show us something special and magical. We got to lay on the beach and swim in the Atlantic. We never felt rushed. This was an incredible trip and it exceeded our expectations in every way.

Algarve - This is by far the best activity we did while we were in Portugal. David was so personable and friendly. He was able to provide excellent recommendations for the remainder of our trip as well. The car ride was comfortable and smooth from Lisbon. We traveled with our 3 year old and the tour company provided a car seat for this experience. The Algarve views were so breathtaking. We opted in for the optional boat ride to the Carvoeiro Caves, which was such an amazing experience. 10/10 would recommend this trip.
