Very nice discovery of Albufeira with Jorge this August. A top guide, smiling and funny. Despite our low level of English with my boyfriend, his explanations are clear and we have no trouble understanding him. He takes the time to show us the different views as well as to talk with us. He does not hesitate to be the photographer so that we have a maximum of memories. In addition, we were a little late because we were very interested in this region by asking questions and he never sped up the activity. So we finished 45 minutes after the scheduled end time! I highly recommend this activity. Thank you Jorge!

Very enjoyable tour. Staff were great and friendly and had a great bar on board with a wide variety of drinks all very well made. The tour was great, great way to see the coast while enjoying some drinks and music. Also had a 15 minute swim stop which was very enjoyable.

Everything was great, a little difficult to find. the kiosk but got there. Both guides were amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable. the scenery was better than expected Highly recommended.

Jorge was an exceptional guide throughout the excursion. Friendly, helpful, attentive. I highly recommend! His tuk-tuk is certainly not the fastest but it has its charm ☺️ I loved it!

All the guides were great, got to see some lovely locations. Much recommended 👍
