I want to thank Johnny-guide/driver for a wonderful trip! He was extremely informative about the different places visited. We really appreciated the easy and ontime pick-up and his great sense of humor!

I got an email at 10:32 pm that my morning trip next day was canceled. Such a late notification did not give me a chance to book another trip. It was totally unprofessional.

Trip was cancelled at 8:00 pm the night before the tour. This gave us no time to plan another tour!!

The guide/ driver was very nice. I learned some new information about portugal history. Personally for me the suggested restaurant was below average. - had chips and i think it was half a chicken however I would have preferred a smaller quantity with better quality. No one finished there food - even though it meant to be suggested I felt like you had no choice but to go with it as the Drive asked us to choose what we want to eat from the options we we’re given hours before lunch time so that he could let the restaurant know in advance I think we would have probably enjoyed it more if there were no rain as well.

Great tour with a small group. Pick- up was ar the hotel and perfectly on time. Johnny the driver gave us a lot of interesting information and is a funny and very friendly person. The restaurant that was recommended for lunch was really good and worth the money. I recommend this tour to everyone that wants to see different places in one day. Obrigada João 😜

Despite the Coronavirus outbreak and most shops and restaurants closing, and majority of towns we visited being near empty the tour went ahead as planned and I have really enjoyed it. We were not able to visit historical objects such as museums or castles closed due to pandemic but despite that the tour was great. Our driver tried his best to show us all interesting sites even from the distance. It was refreshing to see the half empty towns without tourists crowding all market squares and actually being able to see all the interesting places in small towns within an hour we had at each stop. We have seen beautiful ports at Olhao and Faro. Unfortunately couldn't cross the border to Spain due to border closures but despite that the trip was very interesting. Thank you for great time.
