Excellent day exploring the East! - Picked up promptly from my hotel by our guide Benny. Set off for Faro. On the way Benny gave us a very in depth history lesson. Benny is super friendly and professional and extremely knowledgeable. At each of the stops Benny gave us a quick overview of the place then we were left to our own devices to explore or go for a coffee. We had approximately 1 Hour per place with the exception of Tavira where we had two hours to explore and have lunch. For me having been on many tours in the past being left to explore was perfect. There were only 4 of us on the tour and unfortunately one of the other guests became ill after we left Faro. I have to say that Benny was fantastic, understanding and sympathetic and stopped several times. All in all a fantastic tour and great day out. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore more of the Algarve.

A great day in the eastern Algarve - A fantastic way to see the Eastern portion of the Algarve! The vehicle was comfortable with only 4 people. There was 1 stop to pickup another traveller outside of Albufeira which made the day a little longer. Our Guide/driver André was kind, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and was only too happy to share. We had lots of time to explore the towns with tips about what to look for and how to maximize the experience.

Nice day, fine ending. - Mario was a fun and engaging guide, although he sometimes seemed more interested in current real estate trends than the culture or history of the Algarve. We were extremely grateful for his completely altering his return route to drop us back at the door of our hotel in Estoi, rather than the starting point in Albufeira.

Nice excursion - Very nice visit to Faro, Olha, Tavira, salinas de Grelhas, and Cacela Vêla. Mario's a good guide. Only downside, the tour was almost all the time in English with little translation into French while we had selected a French guide at the base. This is probably due to the fact that we were two French out of a group of 7 people (Canadians). Our approximate English did not allow us to understand everything. Apart from that, we had a great time. Thank you.
