Me and my friends took this trip on our last day in albufeira and what a lovely way to end the holiday! Luis picked us up from our apartment and drove us round the coast of the Algarve stopping off at each destination for us to look around and take pictures, he even got some great shots of us kindly! we booked very last minute so we were very happy with how much he fitted in for us including booking the wine tasting at Jao Clara which was incredible, the lady had lots of information to share with us and the wine was lovely we even bought a few bottles. We asked Luis could we be dropped just at a restaurant instead of back at our apartment and he told us to just message when we were done and he will pick us up and drop us off, so kind! Luis was very funny and made our day very enjoyable, thanks so much Luis we had a great time! 10/10

Nossa experiência com Tuk tuk foi ótima , fui e meu filho e nós gostamos muito do passeio , conhecemos lugares lindos e passamos no centro da cidade onde ficamos apaixonados pelo lugar . Jorge foi muito atencioso e simpático, nos levou em lugares lindos e ainda tirou fotos lindas que recebemos no mesmo dia e se não bastasse ele ainda teve a bondade de no fim do passeio nos levar ao ponto de táxi, não estava no roteiro dele mas ele com toda a atenção e bondade fez esse favor pra nós . Super recomendo o passeio com o Jorge , pessoa incrível .. Com certeza iremos voltar à Albufeira e o passeio no Tuk Tuk é mais que garantido ..
