Despite buying tickets online, they weren't checked. Commentary didn't match with locations and difficult to o hear over noise of vehicle. Interesting to see other places.

It's very good for discovering the different districts of Faro. Attention, no air conditioning, it is extremely hot.

If you don’t mind the push and shove to get on the train go for it!! The tour itself is lovely and informative.

Super cool, he shows you the city in 45 minutes for €4. Very cheap and recommended.

Hard to hear audio when the train is on the cobblestone streets
