A Sweet Salt Mine Tour - This experience was a 11/10. Sebastian made everything smooth and seamless. He is also such a nice man. He elevated the whole experience, including making sure we were taken care of first out of all the other tourist. Plus he provided a wonderful bottle of wine and salt at the end of the tour. When we go back to the Algarve region we will be taking another one of his tours.

Underground . How things work - If you have always wanted to go underground, you have the opportunity to discover a breathtaking salt mine and go into the bowels of the earth. It was very interesting to see what people are capable of. Very nice guide who also spoke very good English.
