The best decision we made to visit Algarve from Lisbon with tour7portugal. Kazi was a wonderful Guide who truly made our trip so memorable. His flexibility and attentiveness ensured that we always felt well taken care of, and he adapted the itinerary to match our needs and interests. He took us to the silves of the Medieval 🏰 city, Orange 🍊 yards, Slave market, town center, also did cliff walk in Lagos with breathing 360° Views and most importantly the Boat tour to the Caves. Thanks to his knowledge and warm personality, every part of the journey felt engaging and enjoyable. The entire trip was beautifully organized and allowed us to fully appreciate the beautiful parts of the Algarve. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a more wonderful experience. 100% recommended this tour✓
