Great Day Out - Was a good way to see some of the Ria Formosa Park and learn some of the history of Faro. Our guide Joao was very friendly and took time to get to know all of the people on the tour. He told us a lot about the islands and answered all our questions. It can get a bit cold if the wind picks up so bring an extra layer.

Great morning tour with Joao - We had a great morning tour with Joao, he was extremely accommodating of our 5 month old baby and made us really comfortable. He was friendly, knowledgable and engaged the whole group who came from across the world. We learnt great facts about the Ria Formosa, explored the islands and also had a delicious lunch, trying the Spider Fish delicacy I wouldn’t have chosen without Joao’s recommendation. A brilliant trip and a lovely day spent, thank you!

Wonderful tour - Joao is a lovely person. I would like to suggest that to stay longer in the Islands so we can enjoy more. They also could have music in the boat so we don't feel bored
