Faro City Tour on Electric Tuk tuksKimberley_A, Sep 2026
Introduction to Faro
This tour is a great introduction to Faro. It helps orient yourself to the sites while providing some historical and cultural background to the area Damien was our guide. Absolutely super. Provided us with further ideas on what to see as well as restaurants to try

Tavira Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger HuntChristina_C, Sep 2026
Great audio tour with a fun twist
Good fun to have an audio tour with a little twist. We saw some parts of the city we would never have noticed otherwise and the little tasks added a bit of entertainment, nothing too challenging. Would be good for families too.

A Delight
Truly delightful sunset cruise. Just the two of us and John. John was a wonderful guide and captain. Temps were great, mild breeze and a outstanding sunset. Do not hesitate to enjoy this experience. It is one you won't easily forget.

Sunset Dolphin Watching with Marine BiologistsZ5982CMcarola, Sep 2026
Dolphins and Bonus : Whale
A truly remarkable evening. We were booked for a morning Whale and Dolphin tour, but due to wind conditions that was cancelled. We were offered the Sunset tour that same day. We are glad we accepted the offer. They even had a second boat to accommodate us. No guarantees or promises made that we would spot any whales or dolphins. The crew is professional and knowledgeable so we did see a Bryde’s whale, and spent a significant amount of time tracking it. We headed back to the harbor and saw a beautiful sunset on the water, along with a large pod of dolphins that swam along side the boat. Thank you to our two excellent guides for their spotting and sharing their expertise with us.

Pleasant and informative tour
Great tour for an insight into the ria formosa! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife and local area, and it was a very enjoyable morning. It seems most people do the longer tour (we were the only 2 people on our boat!), but as we were shorter on time, we were very pleased to be able to still experience the area from the water, which is a must! The longer tour goes further into the reserve for more in depth nature watching.

Amazing experience.
We were messaged and collected from near our Hotel all very well organised even sent a photo of the bus stop we were being collected at. John arrived in the Jeep and straight away started to share history make jokes etc what a great guy.
Our Jeep was not crowded and it felt very relaxed. We saw other companies with people jammed in like sardines so we felt lucky that were with this company. The tour and experiences along the way were excellent. Got to swim in the spring and see the waterfall and even a turtle swimming with us.
Everything was superb and it gave us a lovely opportunity to experience Portuguese life.
Special thanks to our driver John whose personality and humour added a huge bonus to our trip.

Sunset Tour | Ria Formosa – From Farojeffreyv599, Sep 2026
Sunset Boat Tour of the Ria Formosa
The sunset tour of the Ria Formosa in Faro was a quick experience that showed the different aspects of the area. We were picked up in a boat at the end of the Marina and were taken out on time. Luckily, it was just 4 of us as usually there are more people.Our tour guide was fantastic as he had the right mixture of talking about the various sites within the Ria Formosa, plus allowing silence as we watched the water and land before stopping in an area to watch the sunset. The sunset was spectacular, and there was only one other boat in the area where we were.Our tour was from 7pm-8pm in September. It was nice weather, and we were in shorts and tshirts. Definitely recommend.

Day trip - South of Portugal
The driver was very patient, taking us close to the visit points. We had to pay extra for 2 extra castles visited, but only 3-4 euros. A nice day trip to visit Portugal.
