Highly Recommended - Our tour guide, Joana, was very friendly and a local who gave us a vast historical talk and tour of the town. Then rounding it was a nice platter meal with the wine of choice.

Excellent tour - A really enjoyable and interesting walking tour of the older parts of Albufiera. Away from the touristy hustle and bustle we heard the fascinating history of the town (no spoilers here!) and the challenges it faces in the present.
We had a much greater appreciation of the town at the end which was capped off with a glass of wine and taster board at a genuine local Portuguese restaurant (there aren’t many). So good we stayed for a full evening meal which was excellent.

Great tour - Wonderful tour, we learned about the history of Albuferia. Got to see the old castle walls which I easily would have missed if not for this tour. We also went to a great view point and saw some cool Street art. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour around Albufeira ! - It's a MUST if you're planning to go to Albufeira.
A tour in which you will learn about the history of the city, at the same time that you will discover hidden and beautiful places in the city. It ends in a very nice restaurant, with wine and tapas. Thank you so much, I enjoyed it a lot!!

Engaging, enriching - Very interesting and engaging experience and highly recommended to see another and more personal side to the area of Albufeira. In a short few steps from the busy areas, you can step into the historical village of narrow streets and quietness & natural beauty of the coast. The remains of the historical castle grounds are embedded into the structures of other buildings and of the coastal rock formations.
We tasted local meat, cheeses, wine 👌 and guided through the whole experience by Joana.
Thanks Joana for skilfully sharing your local knowledge and the opportunity to see Albufeira for its true beauty in its rich coastal history.
