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 booked GL Tours with Gabriel for 1 day. It was our last day in Portugal and Gabtiel shown us a few great spots on the way from Lagos to Faro from which we had a flight home. Gabriel drove us right to the most attractive points of cavoreiro and Abufeira and explained where to go, what to see and where to eat. Super option for the day. No worries with the transportation, parking and looking around when you have little time. Gabriel shown us hidden gems we would probably not find ourselves. We recommend strongly.

Two days private tour in the Algarve from Lisbon, perfect for you who want to visit the Algarve region, but do not know exactly where or how. The Algarve is a Portuguese region with about 200 km from east to west, in these two days we suggest the visit to some of the most important places among them; Faro, Tavira, Albufeira, Lagos and Sagres, always with the historical accompaniment of each place and with the main curiosities, this private tour can still be adjusted according to your interests or curiosity.

I went on this 2 years ago with Brody and his english friend. My group had so much fun we're still talking about this 2 years later and I realized I promised Brody I'd leave a review and never did. We even got to see some horrible Belgian rapper making a music video in the cave (hilarious after all the sangria we had). This is an essential Lagos tour if you're younger and looking to drink and socialize. Such a great experience, you won't regret it.

Three generations of our family recently enjoyed the Medronho experience in Monchique. The two hour trip provided us with some spectacular views of the Algarve from the Picota range and a facinating insight into the Medronho cottage industry. The demonstration of how the local firewater is distilled was given by a lovely local couple and in English. Although no liquid was currently in production, as many of the Strawberry trees were lost in the big fire in 2018, we still spent a good hour in a building over 100 years old where we saw all the equipment used and heard how the spirit is produced. We were able to sample a few delicious glasses from two different vintages of Medronho, as well as local food specialities. The tasting was generous and so it was a good job that we had a driver to take us back home. Great experience of rural life in the Algarve.

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 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.
