Nice tour - The tour covers several nice attractions that fits all tastes. Driver was so knowledgeable and he gave good explanation for every attraction we visited. Make sure to book both east and west tours together to get discounted rate. Note: I made the booking through Pestana Casino Park Hotel Front disk.

Great tour! - Great tour, fabulous views, a really knowledgeable guide (Nuno) who was also a good driver. A whistle stop tour with lots to see. We'll definitely go back to explore some of the places a bit more. The weather was good which meant we had clear views throughout, a cloudy day would be a different experience.

Good value and some fantastic views - The minibus could carry about 15 people. It wasn't too cramped. Our guide was Roberto, who was very professional and spoke perfect English. There was just enough commentary and information without it being overwhelming and we could enjoy the scenery and relax. Some fabulous views throughout the tour. The temperature and weather varies dramatically from place to place, so it is worth bringing a light coat which can be left on the minibus. The restaurant in Santana which was suggested by the guide for lunch was a pleasant surprise and we had a great meal which was very reasonably priced.

On "close seats" through beautiful landscapes! - The BUS was far too small with the available seats! Had back pain after 8 hours. The tour was bilingually very informative. A beautiful, varied route.
