Great Day in Portugal with Antonio - We had a great time on our tour
Our guide was Antonio. I have learned so much more about Portugal. He went out of his way to make sure we saw the fabulous wild life. Thank you again Antonio it was a great day.

Two tours, fantastic experience! - We had 2 tours with this company; both were excellent. Rui took us to Monchique and Silves. He was very knowledgeable about the area. On a different day, Antonio took us on a custom private tour to see Vanessa Barragao’s textile art studio in Albufeira, and then to Carvoeiro for the afternoon to see the spectacular beach rock formations and caves. We really appreciate Antonio being willing to work with our special requests for this tour. Both Rui and Antonio were lovely - very well informed, friendly and helpful and made our tour a great experience. We will use their services again when we are back in Portugal, and would recommend them highly.

Sightseeing, History and Wine tasting. - Great Day out, office kept us up to date with pick up time right up to arrival which was on time.
Margarida, our Driver and Guide was absolutely superb. Fantastic knowledge, great driver and a lovely person.
Never been on this kind of trip before and have been to Lagos several times but if all are as professional and interesting and you're lucky enough to have someone like Margarida to be your leader then what a fantastic day and company.
