Fabio was a fantastic guide. He is passionate, engaging and incredibly knowledgable about all stages of the harvest, wine production and tasting. As someone who has been on many wine tours, I still managed to learn something new and different. We had a wonderful morning and I would highly recommend booking any tour with him. Obrigada Fabio!

We spend a long afternoon and evening with Filipe and it was wonderful. I highly recommend him. We visited Sintra and the amazing Perla Palace , the Quinta Regaleira and had the lovely pastry specialty of Sintra. Filipe is a very pleasant charming person to be with, he is very knowledgeable about, the area, the sites, the history and so much more. Time flies with him. We ended the evening in a great fish and seafood restaurant hanging on the side of a cliff Azenhas do Mar. If you are in Lisbon take one of his tours and enjoy.

It was an amazing tour with great impressions of the beautiful coastline of the Algarve. The Guides are super friendly and professional. They have a really good knowledge of the region. For this amount of money you will get a long boattrip and see a lot of things. If you're lucky, like we were, maybe dolphins too. I would recommend this tour to everyone, who wants a little adventure and an unique experience at the Algarve.

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!

A Portuguese friend recommended taking a boat trip along the coast visiting the caves. We have just had the most amazing experience. Make sure you go with a local guide like this one. He is very knowledgeable and the smaller boat with an expert navigator means you go into the caves where the big boats can't go. Cannot recommend this trip enough. We would give seven stars but trip advisor only allow 5!!

Fabulous boat trip with Louis. We went to the marina to book a boat trip, the 1st place we looked at said they could fit us in that day and seemed quite pushy, we walked further along and spoke to Anja at Bluefleet, she said the see was too rough to do trips that day and you wouldn’t be able to go into the caves on a boat, she advised waiting a couple of days for the seas to calm. So pleased we waited, we had a wonderful trip and Louis was an expert at negotiating the tricky caves and gave us some wonderful memories and beautiful scenery. 100 % recommended Bluefleet.
