Exciting Boat Trip to the Benagil Cave - This was our second tour with Antonio and we enjoyed it as much as the first. Antonio picked us up at our Air Bnb rental for the drive to Portimão where we were to take the boat tour to see the caves. On the drive there, we mentioned that we were looking for some items for Christmas and he suggested we may have some options after the boat tour. Before going to the harbour for the boat, we stopped so that Antonio could show use the beach area, which is quite impressive, there were very few people, being December, but in the summer the beach in a sea of umbrellas. Portimão is a big town, lots of large rental properties and malls; glad we decided to stay in Lagos. Antonio used Carvoeiro Tours for our boat trip, It was about a 10 person max boat, there were 5 of us plus the captain Bruno and the guide. Using a small boat, allowed us to get into some of the small caves, that other boats cannot. The trip was excellent, very exciting going into the caves and some humorous commentary from our guide. As a bonus, we saw a dolphin on the way back and followed it for a few minutes. After the boat, we decided to forego the walk along the cliffs (we had seen the shoreline already from the water and are staying right beside Praia da Dona Ana in Lagos, which has a km of raised walkway along the cliffs there). During the freed-up time, Antonio took us to a British grocery store, so we could pick up the ingredients for our Christmas breakfast and dinner and to a large store that sold Christmas decorations so we could get a few things for the apartment. He then gave us a tour through the old town and along the water in Alvor, before heading back. Another great day with Antonio and we really appreciated his flexibility to adjust our time with him to fit our needs. Thanks Antonio!

Get your money's worth - Highly recommend this tour! Spectacular views made my trip memorable. It’s worth it for me travelling all the way from Lisbon down to Lagos. Antonio is professional and shared with us a lot of interesting information. I can feel the reviews that I saw prior to joining are so true!

Fabulous tour! - Antonio provided us an amazing walking tour of the cliffs and caves. He was very knowledgable about the history of the Algarve and gave us lots of context to the area we were staying. He went above and beyond providing great dining recommendations for the remainder of our trip. He had a boat tour to the Bengali cave setup for us after we finished the walking tour. The boat tour used a small boat which was able navigate into many of the narrow caves. Overall it was a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend anyone book this tour!

Best tour operator - Antonio was very friendly. Kept us talking on the ride and was waiting when we returned from the tour. He was so kind as to bring his van to a closer location for our auntie who has some mobility issues. He sat with her and conversed while we enjoyed the area.

Breathtaking and fun times - Antonio was super generous and showed us an amazing time taking us to beautiful spots on the beach (instagram worthy). Definitely worth doing this with him since he’s knowledgeable and friendly! We went to the Benagil cave afterwards and that was also very worth it! I am grateful for this experience and would love to go again in the future.

Wonderful Experience! - António was such an amazing tour guide who went above and beyond! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable but had such a genuine personality. This tour was perfect as it offers pick up and drop off for an amazing price. We were a party of 4 friends and we had a blast. António helped organize a boat tour and took us on a walking tour and it was absolutely stunning. Overall, I highly recommend to others!!!
