Amazing tour and guide Filipe - This experience was truly AMAZING!!! Our tour guide Filipe was exceptional! He picked up us promptly from our hotel in a private sprinter van for just us and took us down to the beautiful algarve region! He guided us across GORGEOUS landscapes and took tons of pictures for us! The seven hanging trail and the boat tour to the caves were truly a once in a lifetime experience!!!! He also was kind enough to make lunch reservations for after the boat tour for us at a delicious place!! You are also able to stay at the beach or swim during this tour. Filipe informed us of the proper attire and gear to pack, allowed tons of flexibility on our tour even taking us to the beautiful albuferia region to shop and look around for as long as we would like. We never once felt rushed on this tour and can’t appreciate enough the ample guidance and kindness from Filipe! This tour is a once in a lifetime trip that is so worth it!!!! We can’t thank Filipe enough for his kindness and generosity for us throughout the entire day. 100000/10 would recommend this tour to all friends and family!!!!!!

Lisbon to Algarve Coast - Was an amazing experience and highly recommended this tour particularly if you have less time and want to get to Algarve coast from Lisbon and back in the same day. The boat ride and caves were breathtaking with ability for a nice dip in the beautiful blue water. Our tour guide Filipe Crespo was the absolute best - drove well, so knowledgeable, and also took us to many additional scenic spots on way back!

10 / 10 experience! Best Portugal experience around! - We had the special privilege of having Rui as our tour guide for the day on this incredible journey from Lisbon. To start off, he offered to pickup a quick bite to eat before we got on our way to the Algarve area. Rui was very accommodating, highly educated in Portugal’s history, and an extremely safe driver. I could keep going on about how great he truly was. The destination smashed our expectations! The hike allowed us to explore the tremendous cliff formations throughout the various caves in Portimao along the coastline. The hike provided one viewpoint of the caves while the boat ride provided a whole different perspective. The hike and boat ride were perfectly intertwined with each other. After the boat ride, Rui had a reservation set for us at a restaurant at Mar e Sol where we had an Algarve based dish called Cataplana which was beyond phenomenal! We ended our trip with some beach time at Praia da Rocha which was beautiful. It was a 10/10 experience and worth every penny. This is how Portugal should be explored!

Best overall experience! - Filipe Crespo of Duca Tours was amazing! He messaged us the night before and picked us up at the hotel on time. While driving to the Algarve he told us about the cork trees that line the highway and how cork is produced and used. On the boat tour from Portimao to Bengal he came with us. The restaurant he recommended in Portimao for lunch was fantastic! Filipe is a very safe driver. We recommend Filipe to anyone who wants to take this tour!

The Perfect Way to Discover the Algarve as a Family - Absolutely unforgettable experience! Spending the day exploring the Algarve with Marta was easily the highlight of our trip to Portugal. From the moment she picked us up, Marta went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. She’s not just a driver or a guide—she truly feels like an old friend who wants you to fall in love with her country. One thing that really stood out was Marta’s genuine curiosity about our family; she took the time to learn the names of each one of us—including our two daughters—and even asked about the meaning behind our names. That personal touch made us feel truly seen and appreciated.
Marta tailored the day to our interests, making every stop feel personal and exclusive, sharing fascinating stories, historical insights, and introducing us to local spots we never would have found on our own. The boat trip to the Benagil caves was breathtaking, and Marta’s enthusiasm was infectious—you could feel just how much she loves this region and sharing it with visitors. Not only was she organized yet flexible—never rushing us but always keeping the day flowing—but she also acted as our unofficial photographer, capturing awesome pictures and videos of our family throughout the day. Thanks to her, we have precious memories we’ll cherish for years. By the end of the tour, we didn’t just come away with incredible photos and stories, but also a genuine appreciation for the Algarve and a real connection with Marta. If you want a stress-free, enriching, and truly special experience in Portugal, look no further—Marta is the person you want at your side. We cannot recommend her and this tour highly enough!

Must do tour to the Algarve! - We had an amazing, and long day with Felipe Crespo, for this all day tour to the Algarve. Felipe is very thoughtful and frequently checked on us if we needed anything. He even rearranged the tour so we did the boat trip to the caves earlier, because the weather was expected to get worse at the end of the day. You won't regret spending a day in the Algarve with Felipe looking after you.

Amazing visit to Algarve with an outstanding guide! - We had an amazing time on a private tour to Algarve with Filipe. The tour was adapted to what we needed to do and Filipe was extremely accommodating and flexible. He took us to the most amazing sites along the Algarve coast and the views were spectacular. Filipe is extremely knowledgeable about everything in Portugal - places to see, food, wine, culture and he shared his insights with us along the way. We went to a sweet gem of a place for lunch with amazing service, food, and views. What was nice is that Filipe continued to provide valuable information even after our tour was over that helped us during our stay in Portugal. I highly recommend Filipe as a guide and visiting Algarve - it was a highlight of our trip to Portugal.

Our guide graciously took us around and gave us the best day trip imaginable! Everything was all taken care of from the moment we got picked up. We learned so much about this beautiful country and the locals. We would love to visit again someday! Thank you for the wonderful memories to last us a very long time!
