Great trip and well organised. Staff amazing especially Marco the bar man on the boat.
Prices for drink a little expensive, but on the whole a very good overall experience

You don't go very far up the river and the commentary fails to bring the experience of living, in the real Algarve, to life. Having the same commentary on the return journey doubled the boredom (but thankfully the return was quicker!)
Live music at the restaurant was lively and well explained, I was not keen on the live music on the return sailing

The bilingual Tour Guide Esther, was lovely and very knowledgeable on local facts! Snacks and hot/cold drinks available to buy during the cruise. The history of the village we stopped at for lunch, was really interesting. The lunch itself was very tasty - as vegans, we were able to eat fresh cultural vegetable soup, soda bread, boiled salad potatoes (with skin) and a salad of lettuce, onion and peppers, with extra virgin olive oil - all delicious! Local red and white wines and water were available throughout the lunch
and dessert was locally grown (very delicious) oranges. For the non vegans, the lunch included roast chicken and local goat's cheese. There was cultural entertainment and singing after lunch. A lovely day out.
