It was an amazing trip with beautiful views and a lot of fun. The guides were very nice with a lot of humor, and the stories they told about the environment were clear. Good food, swimmingpool and the livemusic make the trip unforgettable. The boattrip was nice with also a musicartist. Greets, Jan, Marry and Alex.

We did the Super Safari trip and really enjoyed it - probably helped by the great weather for February. Very well organised, interesting stops and a fine lunch with entertainment that was appreciated by all. Many Canadians in our group including one lady who has done this same trip several times. A relaxing river cruise for the return journey, many thanks - you have created a rather special tour and we will be recommending it to anyone holidaying on the east side of Algarve

Just been on the offroad trail and boat trip today. Picked up from hotel on the dot in minibus, arrived in Santo Antonio and large party split into language groups, then off into the land rovers. Excellent fun and knowledgeable drivers. Offroad section was about 3 hours, 2 stops to visit farms and cork trees, then 3rd stop for lunch. Quick dip in the swimming pool to cool off beforehand. Lunch was lovely. Soup, bread, salad, potatoes, chicken, piri piri oil to spice it up. Jugs of wine & water. More food if you wanted, all organically and locally produced. Then some lovely traditional Portuguese music, singing etc. Lunch over, off to the boat for an almost 2 hour journey back to Santo Antonio. Great fun, great value. Still too full to go out for dinner tonight.

I would really recommend the super safari trip. We have a wonderful day, enjoying the rugged countryside in a jeep and stopping in some local farms - learning about local produce. The tour guides were all very pleasant and knowledgeable when asked any questions. Lunch and wine were all included in a very nice restaurant, together with some local portuguese entertainment which was very enjoyable. The food for lunch was also very tasty. Then the afternoon was spent on the boat coming back, the best of both worlds. Well worth doing!

The Moorish trail trip via jeep and then boat was absolutely marvellous. From my first contact with Riosultravel until being dropped back near our accommodation, they displayed efficiency, impeccable manners and great consideration. We were warmly welcomed when collected in the morning and everything was explained. After a short transfer to Villa Real de San Antonio, we boarded the jeeps. Our driver was so funny and friendly and especially thoughtful of our children. The jeep safari was great fun - we all enjoyed standing with our head above the roof to see the salt lakes and flamingoes. After a short while, we arrived at an organic farm where we were welcome to try various produce including fig chutneys, olive oil and carob. A second stop explained the cork production of Portugal - very interesting. Finally, we arrived at a farm for lunch where we enjoyed a dip in the pool and a superb Portuguese meal: soup, bread, cheese (delicious!), salad, potatoes, chicken, wine and melon. There was plenty and it was superb. Entertainment was provided by a musician and the tour guides not only waited on us, but they also sang with great spirit. A relaxing 90 minute boat cruise took us back to Vila Real. An absolutely brilliant day - I can’t fault it. Well done and thank you 😊

Such a great overall day and the highlight of our 4-week holiday. I was staying at the Fuerte Hotel in El Rompido, Spain, near the Portugese border and heard of this trip which I booked up myself via email with the Director Emma who speaks fluent English. The company picked me and a friend up from our hotel and dropped us back afterwards and everything was organised and arranged with meticulous detail. Our guides were multi-lingual and all spoke English in this trip which was made up of German, Dutch, Spanish, Portugese, and us two Brits. Joseph, our jeep driver never stopped talking and told us about the history and culture, and the salt plains and fleur de sal produced there. I brought some home. We ate a traditional Portugese lunch with wine, song and dance, after which we borded a boat on the Guardiana River back to Vila Real de Santo Antonio. The guitarist singer was on the boat too and played for us whilst we danced with the others. Well worth the money.

From start to finish, this day was a great experience! We did the safari tour and had high expectations beforehand, but these were exceeded. The team is really friendly and they know exactly what they are doing. This was already our second tour with Riosul, as we did the boat trip last year and we definitely recommend it!

We went out in jeeps, first past salt pans with flamingos, then inland with our friendly (Dutch) driver Alina, we learned everything about the flora and fauna of this area. Then we had dinner at a farm where we had a simple but tasty meal and the team sang for us. The way back from the farm is on a ship with a guitarist playing Portuguese songs; very relaxed!!

Rotas dos Contrabandista. Tour de jeep pelo interior do Algarve, de Vila Real Santo Antonio até Odeleite. Dia espetacularmente bem passado. A equipa do RioSul foi otima em especial o nosso motorista - o Sr. Albano - que nos proporcionou uma manhã espetacular. Manhã no jeep por motes e vales, momento de lazer na piscina seguido de um otimo almoço tipico animado pela equipa do RIoSul. O passeio terminou com a descida de barco pelo Guadiana até V.R.S.Antonio. No geral foi uma otima experiencia, muito recomendavel e com vontade de repetir!!! Um muito obrigado a toda a equipa do RioSul pelo dia inesquecivel!

Uma viagem Fantástica, bem organizada, com guias Muito simpáticos a atenciosos , que mais tarde se transformem em animadores e até empregados de mesa. Além da viagem de Jeep e de Barco pelo rio Guadiana, saliente o excelente trabalho de equipa liderado pelo sr Renato , que fazem deste passeio uma excelente escolha para um dia bem passado quer como ferias como para um dia de folga do trabalho como foi o meu caso. Recomendarei sem duvida esta viagem sempre que possível. Obrigado a toda a equipa. Amandio
