We had a brilliant day with a small group of friendly people and an excellent guide. Filipe the guide was very knowledgeable and shared loads of fascinating information and was delighted to answer our questions. A wide range of places were visited in beautiful less touristy part of the Algarve. The trip was completed by tasting some very nice wine! Highly recommend.

The trip was amazing! We both had a really great day. Filipe was a fantastic guide; very knowledgeable, and attentive to all the people on the tour! He kept us all in good spirits despite the cloud/weather changing things up & pointed out so many interesting things throughout the day.

Antonio was very knowledge. We had a great variety of things to do from visiting a castle, to exploring a quaint village with a natural spring, to reaching the top of Monchique and finishing with a wonderful wine tasting opportunity. Our guide did not rush us and was very flexible in our stops. He recommended the most fabulous restaurant for us to stop and have lunch. A fantastic day.
