The excursion was longer than expected. We got in our first vehicle at 12:30 where we were transferred from Vilamoura to Albufueria where we went onto a coach that done 5 more pick ups before heading to lagos including merging with another coach. We arrived at Lagos at 2:30pm and stayed there until 4pm. We then had another hour of driving to visit Sagres (no stop) and cabo de Sao Vicente which had stunning views and we were able to catch the sun going down but had to leave before the sunset (5:30pm). The drive back to Albufueria with all the stops was then about 7:30pm. We arrived back in Vilamoura at 8pmish. The trip was longer than expected given the description on the website. We did have a lovely time but ourselves and other guests were in agreement that it was quite a long day. We would recommend booking but be aware of travel time on the bus. Can't really fault 25 euros per person for the time and distance covered though.

We just finished off our tour with Vanda exploring the east of Algarve. Vanda’s knowledge of the region, it’s history and all the unique nuggets of information was really useful. The highlights of the trip for us was Mercado at Olhao (coupled with a sumptuous traditional Portuguese lunch) and the sunset at Cacela Velha - breathtaking!

This is a great tour that provides you with a macro view of the Algarve region if you are pressed for time while visiting this region. The tour takes you to a couple of coastal area neighborhoods that are spectacular and worth visiting. A tour worth its value.

It was a great trip with a nice guide who tell us a lot about the places where we go and what is the most important to see. Even the time of the travel by coach we can't stand :)

Maravilhoso. Quero ressaltar o papel da motorista e guia Vanda. Atenciosa, bom papo, bom humor e muito educada. Entregou mais que o esperado. Recomendação fortíssima.
