very scenic, great guide comfortable bus, kept on time old world cultural and coat line charm

Marcia_B

We enjoyed Silves, castle & cathedral. St. Vincent Cape was stunning. Taking us all to one restaurant for lunch with set price was not appreciated. Also, over 2 hours with out a bathroom for St. Vincent was tough. Needed a toilet stop before or after. Guide was translating in 4 languages. When we were out of the bus, she could have pulled together one language(ex. German) given info & dismissed so the next group could get closer to her & hear. Most of the time we couldn’t hear what she had to say

Vicky_S

Beautiful scenery, exquisite views from mountain top and seaside cliffs! Great tour of the Western Algarve. A good way to see as much as possible if you are only in Portugal for a short period of time. Tour guide was excellent (Celia) and she kept everything on time! Appreciated that lunch was offered, but the food was not worth the price. The server was not friendly, the french fries tasted of oil, the dessert was more of a confection than dessert. Tour company should consider finding a different venue for lunch, or express dissatisfaction with the meal and service provided.

Teresa_J

Even though we did not spend alot of time in each place, it was lovely to see so many places in one day. Ana the guide was so lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Her English and German was explanatory. If you want to see a few places in the western Algarve in one day, this trip is for you xx thank you Ana

I booked this tour for June 2nd and was provided with a 7:15am pick up time. I arrived to the pickup location at 7:02 am. I waited for over one hour and contacted the "tour" company several times via email. No response. No show. Ultimately I reached them via what's app and was informed that the driver was there and left. I sent the attached GPS location and requested that they reschedule or provide me with a refund as I was at the pickup location early. They did not try to resolve this issue they created or provide a refund. Do not book a tour with this company. You will make better use of your time and money watching paint dry. They are in the business of ripping people off, are unprofessional and very poor communicators. Fraudsters.

The trip was wonderful and went well with a lovely guide and driver. The scenery was beautiful. It was nice to have places to enjoy the restaurants or cafes.

This tour operator does not care about their customers and only wants $$. During this season of heighten alert due to the virus, they will rather take in someone that is sick into their bus than help them to reschedule or refund. Avoid and choose a more reputable tour operator.
