Extraordinary experience! - We loved the experience lived in family, in the company of Mr. Ricardo who showed us the oysters groves on the Ria Formosa, the beautiful islands and their surrounding stories, paradise beaches almost just for us, with the sand so fine and soft. Adding, the lunch on the island of culatra, very good! It was all wonderful, undoubtedly, an experience to repeat. Our very thank you to Mr. Ricardo, we will be back soon ☺️

The pearl of Algarve - Wonderful experience. Definitely this was perfect way to finish visiting Algarve. Ricardo is the man! He prepared everything for us even reserved a restaurant on a fisherman’s island ‘Culatra’ that we went and we had a magnificent meal on a local place. See you next year Ricardo! All the best!!!
