What people are saying about Albufeira

This was our favourite day of the holiday!!. Truly a wonderful well thought out day, both winery’s were so lovely but also a bit different from each other which really enhanced the day, Paulo (if I remember rightly?) at Paxa wine was such a lovely guide and the wine was amazing. We then stopped in Silves for 2 hours to have some lunch and look round at the castle (entrance ~€3 each) which was lovely we could have spent at least 3 hours honestly. Then to the last winery which was amazing also. The star of the day though was João who was the most amazing guide and really made this trip so fantastic. It was just me and my partner and another couple on the trip so it felt so relaxed and personal. We had an amazing time couldnt recommend more!

Great experience, especially with Marco as our guide, he know everything about the area and it's fauna and flora (especially lions and tigers), he is a good off road driver so you will have to hold on to your hat (if you don't want to loose it). On that experience you will see Algarve like you would not do it on your own, lot's of beautiful spots to see, may photos to take. Algarve is not only the coast itself. Highly recommended. Thank you :)

A top activity that I recommend twice more than once. Discovering the hinterland with Marco our driver was a real pleasure. His enthusiasm, his passion, his qualities as a driver and photographer gave us an unforgettable experience. It is unique, we loved it. Everything was done to keep us going. We would never have discovered such places without this adventure. It was just awesome. Thank you we will be back.

Superbe excursion et découverte des montagnes portugaises. Nous avons eu comme guide Tiago qui est très gentil. Tout était parfait, du château au resto en passant pas le coucher de soleil incroyable. A refaire sans hésitation

Very nice tour. Best driver/guide. Was very fun. The wine tasting is very extensive. You take your time with the guests. For the price an absolutely recommendable event.
