Algarve Bengali - Had a blast! Carlos was fun, informative, and great at taking pictures! A swim was not offered (which was not hot enough anyway).

Great trip worth booking! - Reasonably priced trip! This was €17 per person for a 90 min excursion on a speed boat. Other companies were charging in excess of €30 for the same trip. Great tour brill guides and stunning coastline. Worth every penny!

Fabulous - Well done excursion. Easy walk from cruise terminal. Great captain and guide. Felt very safe. The views of the caves were spectacular. We were fortunate that conditions allowed us inside the caves, but would have been worthwhile in any case. One of my favorite excursions ever!

Fabulous experience! - This tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. We were fortunate to have gone on a calm sunny day. The boat was not what I would call a sppedboat. It was larger boat that would accommodate 40+ passengers. I think the number of passengers determines which boat type is used. Seating was comfortable and the tour was amazing. The crew were professional as they navigated the boat into various caves. Our tour guide Edward was very knowledgeable and entertaining as he explained each of the stops on the tour. There were many opportunities to take breathtaking pictures and videos. This 90 minute tour was the ideal duration for us!

Good value tour of the caves and coast - A nice tour of the coast line and caves with some humorous commentary taking about 1.5hrs in total. The service was very good; felt safe on-board and we were promptly informed of bad weather and when the boat couldn't do the full tour so were able to postpone until it improved. The boats are just a little uncomfortable for the duration as you need sit like on a horse (a rubber stool with legs apart). You do not disembark into any caves like but that's not unreasonable due to weather and size of the boat. Best to wear a rain coat and seats on the near side (left) when embarking are best for picture taking IMO as they were facing the coast. ;)

Cave tour - Nice tour, the caves were lovely and our guide Eduardo was funny, engaging and knowledgeable. He also is a great photographer haha. Very helpful giving tips for dinner and places to go to in Portimao after the tour. Would recommend going earlier in the day or bringing a sweater/jacket as it gets pretty windy.

Bad Customer Service - We bought tickets on Expedia. It gives several landmarks in the directions. The landmarks take us to different places in the gps. I called them and they said they would wait for us because we were lost. They did not wait for us and refused to give us a refund. I am very disappointed. I will not recommend.

What was going to be a good experience ended in denunciation. - Honestly it was a very bad experience. While we're taking pictures of the cave, the guide does something he shouldn't and... the cell phone in the water. Nobody did anything, because it was dangerous and then, on arrival at the port, everyone playing crazy. The answer is that it was dangerous and they couldn't jump to get their cell phone. After discussing who was going to take care of that because it was their fault, their answer was... we will see if something can be done. And on top of that, they're looking for a diver to see if they can find the cell phone... and if it was found, we had to pay the diver. In short.... I would never recommend this tour, first because of the behavior and second because in the end they only care about the money and ready.
