Unforgettable experience, off roading, local foods - We went on our keep tour on 2nd of April and I believe of your guide was called ‘Roy’ apologies if this is incorrect!
From start to finish it was amazing. He arrived early, and we set off straight away, stopping many times to our first destination to learn about different trees and fruits. We ate many fruits straight from the tree ( an amazing and delicious experience).
We visited a windmill where we were shown round by ‘luis’ who had amazing knowledge about the place.
We stopped at castles, local villages, tried local foods such as honey, fire water, Olivia’s and much more.
Our guide took so many amazing photos for us, which made our day even more memorable as we had got engaged the previous night!
We spent a lot of time ‘off roading’ on private lane, where we could stand up on the back of the jeep!
I highly recommend this tour, it takes roughly 4 hours. A great way to learn more about the area and get out of the crowds.

Fab afternoon in the jeep - Just wanted to say thank you for a great half day keep Safari. Despite the COVID restrictions of having to wear masks we could just about make ourselves understood and it was a very interesting trip. We went off road all over the bumpy tracks that you see all around but would never dare to take in the hire car. Working water wheels, a fort and a windmill to name a few attractions that we saw and the donkey! Would not hesitate to recommend these guys. Their English is fantastic and they have a great sense of humour - just watch out for the snakes!!!!
Portuguese tourism needs all the help it can get at the moment, so please take a trip - you will not be disappointed.

What a day to Remember! - There were 3 couples from around the world sharing a day in the Algarve. Fred was our Driver, Tour Guide, Historian, Bar Tender, Snack server, Donkey Wrangler and MEDIC. He did an amazing job driving the dirt roads and finding out of the way places. Always checking that we were ok. I mention Medic because my significant other had an incident with a Donkey! All is good and we now have a funny story, but Fred was our hero. It is a wonderful experience and shouldn't be missed.

Fred the Ninja! 😛 - We went on half day tour today. We got to choose from a full day or half, as were leaving to go back home tomrrow we chose to do the half day which was 9am to 1pm. Our tour guide was Fred 👌😎.
He was brilliant from start to finish, was on time ,parked outside our hotel, explained everything to us on the way there and always made sure we were ok and comfortable. Very informative, chatty and good sense of humor.
We didn't get to see the caves unfortunately because there was no water left in the area... but we did see the official non tourist side.
What to wear? Check the weather before you go, we had a little rain, then got warmer later on..but just double check if you will visiting the beachy side if not then trainers and a jumper will be needed and sunglasses!!!
In the future when I come back again and do the tour, ill be looking for Fred! 😆
Overall, it was a fantastic experience and Fred the ninja was awesome 👌👌👌👌
