Hugging the coast in Portugal’s southern Algarve region, this prime vantage point showcases sparkling white houses with Moorish flair, breathtaking multi-hued cliffs, and old fortress remnants that ground modern amenities with a charming historical flair.

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!

My husband and I went to Portugal for our honeymoon and this tour was one of the highlights our trip! There was one other couple that came with us, so it was a very small group and felt like a private tour. We toured and did tastings at two wineries that both were VERY good! I only wish these wines were available in the US. We also got to explore this little town in Lago for about an hour and see Leiria Castle. Our tour guide was energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable. This tour exceeded my expectations and it will exceed yours too!

We booked GL Tours with Gabriel for 1 day. It was our last day in Portugal and Gabtiel shown us a few great spots on the way from Lagos to Faro from which we had a flight home. Gabriel drove us right to the most attractive points of cavoreiro and Abufeira and explained where to go, what to see and where to eat. Super option for the day. No worries with the transportation, parking and looking around when you have little time. Gabriel shown us hidden gems we would probably not find ourselves. We recommend strongly.

The best thing about the driving tour was that the driver knows all the hidden paths and the secret beaches. As a local resident of the Algarve we received a lot of extra information. Besides that he was very flexible and very nice. He drives save and careful. Bespite the preventive virus measures it was a very pleasant tour.

The cool of the evening experience would be one to remember as we visit and enjoy a guided tour around a countryside vineyard. We would learn about the production of the wine and be regaled with stories of the place and its people. We would also find a wine tasting room to experience the richness of up to three samples of wine As we continue our experience, we would stop at a high point to watch the stunning sunset views and picturesque appearance in the evening. Partake in taking memorable pictures as the sun disappears to the coastline in the most beautiful way. Finally, we would experience some more Portuguese culture by having dinner at a typical Portuguese restaurant and have some more wine. tour starting time may change according to sunset timings

Inclusions: Dinner, Alcoholic Beverages, Air-conditioned vehicle, All Fees and Taxes, guide, wine tasting, guided tour to a countryside winery , free pick up and drop off

We spent a wonderful day with our guides Luís and Diogo exploring somewhat remote parts of the Algarve. The guides were very knowlegeable and the driver was very experienced. We saw amazing landscapes, beautiful buildings, traditional towns and we even had the chance to bathe in a small but cozy water source. On top of this all, we ate at an amazing restaurant called "Paradise of Algarve" that totally lives up to its name thanks to its incredibly tasteful food and vegetarian options.
