Worst service from this company I left a review on google got a response in Portuguese????Saying I was drunk or drugged. Not sure if you have an education system in Portugal but what you was referring to is my Hayfever which makes my eyes watery, sore, itchy and I start to sneeze often. Google it lol. Never hire a bike from this company waste of money they only want your cash because they know people from the UK will spend they don’t care what bike they give you I would rather walk than hiring a bike from this company. Tyres got low over night, handle bar was shaking and only found out when I was asked to walk to Tivoli to pay for the bike inside the hotel and then escorted to the bike with the hotel staff only to find the handle bar was shaking and the tyres were slightly low but over night it worsened, they had closed by the time I picked the bike saying they would be closed for 3 days yet the following day when I visited the store it was open and then the staff also called her crazy friend with mental health issues her name was Jacqueline black Portuguese woman who intervened and threatened me also smashed a bottle and tried to stab me I was very close in hitting a chair over her head she then came back to threaten me even more was constantly on the phone saying I’m still here I didn’t move a muscle and waited for her “men” to come and get me lol...So I would stay away from this company Albufeira and Vilamoura Marina next to the Irish pub has better bikes go and see their bikes they are much better than these granny grubby bikes.

We were picked up right on time from our hotel and delivered to the home base where we received a safety training and intro to the vehicles. My wife and I felt completely comfortable with the equipment and training and had a great time along the route. There were parts that got pretty bumpy along the way which was great fun- and the guide was always taking photos and videos of us which was awesome to have some memories of the trip. Can't think of a way to make it better, extremely happy with the trip.

Very good half day trip for 2 in a small 4x4, we visited an old castle, a windwill, a proper Portugese town and off roading around farms and hills. The driver Sergio was a pleasure to be with, and told us about all the places we visited, all in all a good mornings trip, quite dusty and very enjoyable. Great fun and would recommend.

Absolutely loved this tour. We booked the morning kayak tour with 2 guides, Edgar & Jacob. They were fantastic, with very clear direction and making sure everyone was safe and comfortable. We were very fortunate to visit some other amazing caves. Would recommend, as a great way to see the Benagil cave and see the stunning coastline. Thanks again Edgar & Jacob!
