Wonderful tour. António is a terrific guide. Very relaxed. Very knowledgeable. He made this a great experience. There was a good amount of time spent at each stop on the tour. António’s timing was amazing to avoid crowds. Very easy and comfortable travel. We are very happy to have taken this tour.

Margarida was an excellent tour guide! She is truly one of the nicest people my family has ever met. She was so knowledgeable and took us to a beautiful winery to learn about Portuguese wine and let us explore in the village of Monchique which ended up being one of our favourite places. Thank you Margarida for making our trip to Lagos so special. We miss you ❤️
