Best tour by far - Love! Love! Love! This was one of my favorite trips so far. Our tour quite was so much fun and took us to all the best places. Monchique was beautiful and the alkaline water was the best discovery. We would absolutely book this tour again and again. 10/10

Great experience! - My husband and I had the best day on this tour and saw parts of the Algarve region we never would have been able to find on our own. Our guide, Antonio, was extremely knowledgeable of all the sites we visited and answered any questions the group had. I also appreciated that the tour group was kept small so it didn’t feel like you were lost in a big crowd. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about Portugal’s history and taste good wine!

Great expeience of inland Algarve - Very enjoyable trip, very relaxed with plenty to see, and a decent amount of time to explore. Antonio is very knowledgeable and considerate, helping us avoid busy times for lunch, and advising on good eating spots.
We felt we saw and experienced a range of inland attractions at the Algarve, with good company, and finished with good wines. A very pleasant day out.

Relaxed day excursion - Excellent trip. Very relaxed, comfortable minibus. Antonia is very knowledgeable and friendly. The timings were very good, and we missed the lunchtime crowd. Gret to see other villages and inland scenery.

Silves is Lovely - Brother, sisters and I took a day (afternoon)-trip from Lagos and it was truly lovely. If you are the type that prefers to spend time outside, yet still like castles, this is a trip for you. The people in the town are super friendly. If you are lucky(as we were), you will look up and see entire walls of stork nests (seriously!). The only negative I can say is that there is a lot of dog poop in the streets. (That seems to be a problem in a lot of Portugal and perhaps education on how the bacteria ends up in the water table when it rains might help the situation.).

Zero - Canceled the trip on us but we saw them still go on the trip so we must have been overbooked and booted.
Do yourself a favor and avoid profit seekers instead of memory makers
