Johnny is “the GOAT” (teen-approved) - Johnny came highly recommended from a friend and without a doubt booking him for a full day tour of the coast of the Algarve was one of the highlights of our 12 day trip!! My teenagers loved him (and the wifi and a/c in the van and the sodas in the trunk)! He was knowledgeable and thoughtful, and shared so much of the region with us, including his hometown. He said his goal was for us to leave some of our hearts in the Algarve and we absolutely did! From a fisherman’s village to the more bustling town of Albufeira, to coordinating beautiful photos to telling us stories of the history and people of the region, we learned so much and got to support wonderful small businesses along our way. As my 16-year-old son said, Johnny is the GOAT (greatest of all time). Definitely recommend!

The day started with a tour guide, ended with a dear friend! - We had an incredible time with Johnny, who was not only knowledgeable, but also passionate about sharing his home region with us! The entire day was smooth as communication was easy (very responsive via WhatsApp), the ride in Johnny's van was clean and comfortable, and we saw some of the absolute most breathtaking views of Algarve. Johnny even gave us recommendations for our visit in other regions of Portugal. We will tour with Johnny any day!

Amazing Day in the Algarve Region Hosted by Johny’s Tours - We had an amazing full day in the Algarve region hosted by Johny’s Tours. Johny is very knowledgeable, has a sense of pride about Portugal, and has the most caring demeanor. This was the best guided tour we’ve ever had and we travel a lot. We got to see some of the most magical places we’ve ever seen! Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

A Magical Day along the Algarve Coast with Johnny - Our Algarve Coast full-day private tour with Johnny was a true highlight of our time in Portugal. Johnny took us to all of the most beautiful spots along the coast - he was animated and knowledgeable, his passion for the area clear, and was engaging with our three teenagers, keeping them involved the entire time. He brought water and sodas and stopped as much as we needed for bathroom breaks. He arranged a boat tour for us, which was excellent too. We got a taste of the Coast, Lagos, Sagres, and at every stop, Johnny took beautiful, professional quality photos of our family for memories that will last a lifetime. I'd recommend this tour (or any tour) with Johnny, just a wonderful day, Johnny is the best!!

Best day ever! - Book this tour, you won’t regret it! I cannot say enough amazing things about Johnny’s tour company. Johnny is so friendly, genuine and personable. His love and pride of his country and the Algarve shines through. He took us to the most beautiful places - some well known, and some a little off the beaten path. He tailored our tour so we could get the most out of our day and even gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Thoroughly Enjoyable Guided Tour - We had a thoroughly enjoyable 2+ week vacation in Portugal. A major highlight of our trip was 3 days in the Algarve with Mr. Johnny as our expert tour guide. He drove us all around this beautiful coastal region, stopping and showing us around various points of interest, all the while describing and explaining the geography, history, and culture in an easy-going conversational way. It was like being guided by a long time friend. We went to places we would not have discovered on our own. My wife and I appreciated the fact that Mr. Johnny went above and beyond to make our time there pleasant, enjoyable, and memorable. Dennis & Robbie Orangevale, California, USA

Great tour of Portugal - Don’t hesitate to book Johnny as your guide! He’s one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met. He’s a pleasure to spend time with and his knowledge of the area really adds to the experience of your trip. Johnny drove us from Lisbon to Lagos with a well-planned stop on Albufeira along the way. Then he took us on a day trip to Seville where we managed to fit in all of the best aspects of the city in five hours. If you’re not sure where to stay in Algarve, ask for his advice. He’ll also help you with dinner reservations to the best local restaurants. You won’t regret booking with Johnny!

Perfect Day in Algarve - Johnny was absolutely fabulous!!! He tailored the trip just for us and took us to some hidden jewels that were simply stunning! What a beautiful area and coastline! He was very communicative both before and during our tour and gave us a wealth of information about the area, Portugal, history, wine, food and the culture. The six of us greatly enjoyed the day and each of us would highly recommend Johnny to anyone traveling to the region!
