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 spent 4 hours on the sailboat and had an amazing experience. One of the more unique activities of our vacation in the Algarve. The sailing trip takes you through the Ria Formosa, where you can enjoy the beautiful views and animal life. We sailed past the two islands of the coast of Olhão as well. During the trip, we received sailing instructions, stories about the history of the area and so much interesting information about all the birds, the seas and nature. One of us already had sailing experience, while the other didn’t, but both of us had an amazing time. We cannot stress enough how great a time we had. We would advise everyone to do this, whether you want to learn about sailing, about the area, the people living there or to just meet a truly interesting man. Mr. Sailor himself, Paulo, has such a great passion for sailing, it was beautiful to be allowed to share in this. We loved hearing all about his competition sailing stories and all people he knew through that. Paulo, we had the best time and would definitely come to find you again if we come back to the area.

Paulo was a well-informed, patient and helpful guide who knows everyone in Tavira and brought the ancient history of Tavira alive for us in his very quiet electric tuk tuk. The tour gave us an excellent overview of the city's history and development; we went places we never would have found on our own and Paulo very graciously spoke both in Portuguese and English for my Brazilian friend and me. A lovely way to spend a few hours in a charming city.

Did this tour with my 12 year old son and we had so much fun. Andre, our guide was the friendliest guy ever. He not only showed us how to ride the Segway but also told us nice stories about the places we passed by. At the end he even bought us some of the Pastel de Nata pies we wanted to try. The two of us absolutely loved this tour.
