We were the only people on this fantastic tour, so it was more or less private. Paulo of happyvan.pt showed us the historic center of Loulé, while telling all kinds of stories about its history from centuries ago till very recent. He knows this place very well. He is very attentive in picking up what you find interesting and what can be mentioned but does not need elaboration. And it’s not only history he knows about, he also told us about culture and typical Portuguese beliefs and habits, which make the stories come alive more. His English is very good, so no trouble understanding each other. Paulo is a very pleasant person to talk to, it felt like a walk and meal with an friend. The food we tasted in 3 different places (5 courses in total) was typical Portuguese, but not all tradition. Some parts were with a modern twist. We ended the evening with a tasting of amêndoa amarga, which is great also. Even though we did some walking, we felt quite full after all this.

Andrea was an excellent guide. The Segway was so much fun. I didn’t realise you have to balance but it didn’t take long to master. It goes so fast and was exhilarating, especially taking in the beautiful scenery. The seafood lunch did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious and looks exactly like it does in the picture. Overall we would definitely recommend. Thanks Andrea!

Love the experience of using the segway to navigate and explore the place!!! It’s my first time using segway and was very nervous in the beginning but Nelson is such a great teacher! And a great and fun guide throughout the tour! We’ve seen a lot of wildlife and learned interesting facts. It’s such a wonderful and fun experience i would definitely recommend!

It was a good experience to do this activity outside with the breeze of fresh air. Just wished it could go on for a bit longer. Only one round for 10 mins.

Excellent trip in the rain which added to the experience. Delicious wines and the food was superb. Paulo was a fabulous informative host. Highly recommend
