Very well organized. Easy walking in low lying coastal Algarve, staying in the same hotel throughout. We enjoyed having the same driver, Antonio, for airport transfers and journeys to the start of daily walks. A suggestion for us Americans - if you included miles along with km.
3. Super Day- Jeep Tour + Arade River Cruise
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Spend half day exploring the unknown Algarve in our jeeps and the rest of the day enjoying a relaxing cruise along the River Arade! Let us take you off the beaten track and into the heart of the Algarve! In a convoy of jeeps we travel up hills and down dales, crossing streams and traversing meadows. Learn about the different flora and fauna and see some of the old customs still in practice - the traditional way of making of honey and distilling of medronho - a very potent local drink which you will have the chance to sample. A tasty lunch is provided in a pleasant and typical restaurant. After lunch it’s time to enjoy a relaxing cruise along the River Arade. The Arade reaches the sea at the town of Portimão - in ancient times and still today, an important commercial port. As you cruise along the river you can enjoy the lush scenery, the soothing sound of birdsong, the river wildlife and the hypnotic lapping of the water against the boat.
Inclusions: Private transportation, Lunch
Exclusions: Bottled water

Seeing the coastline from the sea is an adventure in itself. The caves are strange but beautiful. The boat and crew are in good shape, and everybody tries is best to help you. I need some help getting in and out the small boat, and that was fine. You have to take the music on the boat as it is, I could have done without it. I could have stayed on the Ophelia all day!

We were fortunate to have booked with Johnny´s Tours. Our guide and driver was impeccably attentive and correct. Thank you so much Joau for your patience.All our questions were answered as he was very knowledgeable about the history of Silves and its surroundings without this tour we would not be able to discover certain places that he showed us. Lunch was delicious and the restaurant staff was wonderful. in the end of the day we end up in a fishing village having green wine and roasted octopus we will recommend Joau to our friends. Can´t wait to return.

The whole experience from the time our driver picked us up from the station to when he dropped us back was amazing! The tour it itself was a bit short and didn’t get to go down the vineyard but actually the history, the cellar and where they produced the wine was really Interesting and a lot of insightful information. The wine tasting was great, all wines were of top quality and the staff were friendly. I would defo go back again but I would like to spend more time there if I do!
