Limited things we could do due to doing this experience during Corpos Christi (16th June 2022) and we were not able to rebook as we had other activities planned in other days. The whole experience of taking the jeep safari around Albufeira’s farms and seeing how that side of the city lives is amazing. We had gorgeous weather and we were talked through farming life etc. we had a very good driver too.

The Guide Miguel picked us up at the hotel and he was very knowledgeable on the fruits and spices on the tour. He spoke english and also french for another couple. We stopped at the castle had a look around. The waterfall was lovely also but the highlight was the village of Alte. We were lucky as we did the trip on the 25th April and it was a national holiday with traditional activities, live music, local cuisine and different gift stalls oh and bottle of beer was 1.40 euro . All round the trip was excellent.

Absolutely amazing! Our guide was brilliant! He was so funny and the whole journey was comfortable and educational. He went above and beyond for us so we could see both waterfalls. We managed to pick some fresh thyme and fruit which was amazing and lavender. We have him a 10euro tip as that’s all we had on us or we’d of given him more!
