We spent a wonderful day with our guides Luís and Diogo exploring somewhat remote parts of the Algarve. The guides were very knowlegeable and the driver was very experienced. We saw amazing landscapes, beautiful buildings, traditional towns and we even had the chance to bathe in a small but cozy water source. On top of this all, we ate at an amazing restaurant called "Paradise of Algarve" that totally lives up to its name thanks to its incredibly tasteful food and vegetarian options. We highly recommend this company and this tour in specific if you wish to spend a marvelous day. Rodrigo and Alicia.

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.

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!

My husband and I went to Portugal for our honeymoon and this tour was one of the highlights our trip! There was one other couple that came with us, so it was a very small group and felt like a private tour. We toured and did tastings at two wineries that both were VERY good! I only wish these wines were available in the US. We also got to explore this little town in Lago for about an hour and see Leiria Castle. Our tour guide was energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable. This tour exceeded my expectations and it will exceed yours too!
