Fantastic full day tour of the west Algarve - Great day out, wonderful photo opportunities in Lagos, Silves, as well as the beautiful ocean and view from the top of the mountain Monchique. Our tour guide Johnny was full of local knowledge and had a great sense of humour. So much fun!

Amazing - Jonny is absolutely amazing. This tour gave us another outlook on the algarve that we would have never gotten if we did not take this tour. We were able to ride in a smaller car so we could see more places that a big bus could not get to which was a bigger plus. I recommend this tour 100000%.

An amazing experience - We were picked up at the hotel. It was a small group so it was fun. The trip was in total 9 a 10 hours with stops and visits. The tour operator was really friendly. I would really recommend it. You will visite a lot of places.

Fantastic! - Tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and had great energy which created a great atmosphere. The long day was broken up with frequent stops, ample exploration time with a lot of ground covered. Fantastic tour, would recommend for any visitor of algarve to get out and see the area.

Five happy stars - Five very happy stars! My friend and I had our favourite day on the Algarve for this tour. Johnny was a wonderful guide, chatted just the right amount. He knew what we’d be interested in and was very funny. I so appreciated the chance to stop and take photos of the storks! The “optional” lunch isn’t really optional if you want to eat out - there’s nowhere else to go. But. It was absolutely delicious and had a spectacular view!!! Cannot recommend highly enough. Many thanks for a wonderful day! Air-conditioned and comfortable bus was a lovely bonus.

West Albufeira tour was memorable - Our tour guide Johnny was very knowledgeable about the area's history. He pointed out the interesting areas and things we passed by. We were surprised to see all of the stork nests and hear their stories. We stopped at varied towns so we could stretch our legs and shop if we were so inclined. It was a memorable day.

Amazing Views - Johnny is a great tour guide knows a lot of information about the area. Great personality. The views are amazing, even though we had a cloudy day it was still amazing. The restaurant is just ok, would have liked to have a choice of where to eat, but it wasn't awful, just ok. It was a long day but worth the trip.

More of a taxi ride than a guided tour - The driver was also a guide, meaning he was driving us from one stop to another only, not walking us through the places we were visiting. He was talking about interesting facts, but it lacked information and tips about the places included in the programme. You had to do your own research to be able to know where to go and what to visit during the stops. The one-hour-long stop in Lagos in the morning was not enough, especially keeping in mind the most interesting museums were only opening 30 minutes before our departure. Overall, the visited places were magnificent, but the organisation of the trip should be improved.
