My wife and I had a great time with Gabriel! He picked us up from our hotel in Albufeira for our transfer to Lisbon. We stopped for a visit in Evora on the way. We enjoyed Gabriel’s company on the way to Lisbon. He provided us with suggestions in Evora (restaurant, olive oil tasting, sites,...) I would definitely call Gabriel next time I’m in Algarve.

We booked a full day's tour with Paulo in his lovely vintage camperdown and we were so glad! Paulo clearly took great care to plan a special day for our family. In the morning we visited beautiful coves and enjoyed a swim before lunch at a popular peri-peri restaurant. This was followed by an afternoon at a fabulous vineyard, relaxing in a stunning infinity pool overlooking the beautiful scenery between wine tastings and tapas. We finished the day at yet another gorgeous spot, enjoying the incredible sunset and Paulo's carefully prepared picnic of local tapas. Paulo was simply brilliant company all day, our kids loved him (our daughter enjoyed chatting nonstop!). Paulo, thank you for sharing your local history and special places. We loved every minute - we won't forget this truly special day! Best wishes from Newcastle upon Tyne!

Seeing the coastline from the sea is an adventure in itself. The caves are strange but beautiful. The boat and crew are in good shape, and everybody tries is best to help you. I need some help getting in and out the small boat, and that was fine. You have to take the music on the boat as it is, I could have done without it. I could have stayed on the Ophelia all day!

We were fortunate to have booked with Johnny´s Tours. Our guide and driver was impeccably attentive and correct. Thank you so much Joau for your patience.All our questions were answered as he was very knowledgeable about the history of Silves and its surroundings without this tour we would not be able to discover certain places that he showed us. Lunch was delicious and the restaurant staff was wonderful. in the end of the day we end up in a fishing village having green wine and roasted octopus we will recommend Joau to our friends. Can´t wait to return.

The whole experience from the time our driver picked us up from the station to when he dropped us back was amazing! The tour it itself was a bit short and didn’t get to go down the vineyard but actually the history, the cellar and where they produced the wine was really Interesting and a lot of insightful information. The wine tasting was great, all wines were of top quality and the staff were friendly. I would defo go back again but I would like to spend more time there if I do!

We were picked up right on time from our hotel and delivered to the home base where we received a safety training and intro to the vehicles. My wife and I felt completely comfortable with the equipment and training and had a great time along the route. There were parts that got pretty bumpy along the way which was great fun- and the guide was always taking photos and videos of us which was awesome to have some memories of the trip. Can't think of a way to make it better, extremely happy with the trip.

The tour delivered exactly what it offered. Pick-up from our hotel was on time. The tour guide offered some information about the area and Loulé itself while driving to town. That being said, the market was a bit underwhelming. I had hoped to see more artisan stalls and handicrafts. Overall, I am glad to have taken a tour to see a bit of a different sight of the Algarve.
