Small is better - As a private tour we had opportunities to ask about past and present Faro. Our guide responded candidly offering personal insights. We felt we had access to parts of the city that we would not have experienced on our own or with a large group.

Outstanding experience - Our private tour with Joao was outstanding. He shared so much of the history of the region and was willing to answer any questions we had about both historic and modern Faro and the Algarve. Well worth the time and price.

Throughout history by Tuk-Tuk. - A nice ride in the ideal means of transport for exploring the city. The driver / guide is a very friendly young man who tells you about the history of Faro with a lot of knowledge. Along the way you get off a few times for more information and he will take you to the highest point of the city for a beautiful view. You can also visit the famous church with bones and skulls at your leisure along the way. A bottle of fresh water is also provided. The guide does not work for a tourist company but is a small self-employed person. I'd say support him so he can keep moving forward. Recommended. - - -

Immersion in the heart of Faro - An immersion in the Algarve and more particularly Faro thanks to our passionate and exciting guide Jao who loves his city and his country and answered many questions about his country as well. In addition, he speaks French very well and is pleasant to enjoy the different sites in a tuk tuk. Thanks Jao!

Excellent and personal trip - What a great trip we had! Joao was amazing and made the trip a truly memorable occasion. His knowledge of the area was outstanding and he took us to some great spots. The trip to the top of the tower gave us the most amazing views. Thank you for a great way to see historical Faro.

A beautiful meeting - Really a pleasant time and a great meeting. Joao knows his subject and shares his passion for history with us. A tuk tuk ride was a first for us which our guide made us appreciate. We also recommend we had the impression of being guided by Pierre Niney...

Come in my Tuktuk… - We went out with Joao this morning. It must be said that he is keen on the history of the city and knows his subject. He has humor, a very good level of French and we highly recommend visiting him. The tuktuk is maintained, not super comfortable but so quirky, we loved it! Don’t hesitate to ask him to stop and take photos or for him to take photos of you. Go there with your eyes closed…

Fabulous all round tour … a “must do” if you visit Faro. - This was an excellent tour and one of the highlights of our holiday in the Algarve. The owner/guide Joao Batarda was first class … informative and entertaining. His English and historical knowledge of Faro were very good. This is a tour for 2 people so was perfect for me and my wife. Also, it was great value for money. Parking in Faro is not easy so seek guidance before driving into the city.
