    We enjoyed the market and free time in Loule, although the free time was somewhat limited and needed to be longer to save rushing. We also enjoyed exploring the various other villages, but would have like to see more local markets We didn't enjoy so much the feeling of pressure from the guide to purchase from the local shops we were shown into. There was also a need to have lunch as a group, at a restaurant something that wasnt stated before the trip, ther was no choice - as well as extra cost

    Visit ro 4 villages the main being Loule. Trip is only run on Monday and the Loule government attractions are closed on Monday, so we could not visit the Castle etc. General walk around each village but nothing that would make me recommend this tour. Bus was comfortable, pick up was late possibly due to prior pickups and we were back at our hotel by 4.30pm. Not overly interesting as a tour and not particularly value for money

    De ophaallocatie was onduidelijk en daardoor ben ik niet opgehaald en heb dus voor Jan doedel betaald. Tui hostess heeft nog geprobeerd de externe Provider de tour 1 week te laten verzetten, maar dat wilden ze niet.

    Leuke excursie, net een half uur te weinig tijd in Loulé. Route mooi! Best wel waar voor je geld. We hebben niet deelgenomen aan het diner. Qua prijs niets mis mee (€ 17.50 op) Wij hebben in Alte geluncht bij de fietsenmaker/café waar ze heerlijke tapas verkopen.

    Reisleidster sprak heel zacht en begon vaak al terwijl de helft er nog aankwam. Heel vriendelijk, niet handig. Er staat ontdek de markt, maar wij zaten meer dan 2 uur in de bus en moesten na het samenvoegen van 2 bussen nog een stuk. Moesten even iets drinken na de markt en hadden toen maar 15 minuten om even rond te kijken. Het mandenvlechten hebben wij niet gezien. Werd niet eens genoemd. De kleine dorpjes erna waren wel grappig. Mooi uitzicht. Gehele dag viel voor ons tegen.
