“Best Tour Ever!!! - One thing was really great was Daniel was able to pick us up at our hotel. This is so convenient for us as a group. He came prepared with waters and the drive down to the Algarve included breaks along the way which is always a good thing. Daniel’s personality was over the top! He is kind, funny and very, very knowledgeable of the country. We saw so much, we stopped and had a GREAT lunch at this local place he knew of. He made our day in Portugal so much fun and one we will not forget. Thank you Viator for hooking us up with Daniel and Daniel THANK YOU for the great day!!” - Reviewed on 2024-12-04

“Beautiful coastal Portugal - We had a great tour of the beautiful coastline of Portugal. Our tour guide did a great job taking us to the beautiful town of Lagos. We loved walking around and enjoying some sangria. We then went to lunch at a local seafood restaurant Tasca da Lota where everything was fresh from the boats and delicious. They cook the fish on charcoal. Overall a great experience and we can’t wait to go back to Portugal.” - Reviewed on 2024-06-18
