The 10 Best Tours in Faro, Algarve
Faro is the best-known city in Portugal’s deservedly famous Algarve region. There’s an archaeological museum and a “Bishops’ Palace,” a Renaissance cathedral that was heavily bombed during World War II, but later rebuilt. Nearby in Estoi are Roman ruins, and Albufeira, also nearby, is a formerly quaint fishing village influenced by the Moors in the 8th century. It’s situated in a cliffside location, and has become famous for its beaches (there are 20) and nightlife.

Carlos is a very nice and professional guide. He was able to find a big pod of dolphins, and we drifted within the group of Dolphins, which were approaching the boat. Carlos shared very interesting facts and insights not only about the dolphins but other animals and the area in general. I can highly recommend!

Exact on time at the airport and very nice and clean car. When we traveled back to the airport a week later we got stuck in the elevator just before we shoud be picked up by the driver.

Did this tour with my 12 year old son and we had so much fun. Andre, our guide was the friendliest guy ever. He not only showed us how to ride the Segway but also told us nice stories about the places we passed by. At the end he even bought us some of the Pastel de Nata pies we wanted to try. The two of us absolutely loved this tour.
