What people are saying about Tavira Castle

João was heel informatief en vriendelijk. Hij heeft ons veel mooie plekjes laten zien. Overal waar we wilden konden we even uitstappen en rondkijken. Hij heeft ook nog wat leuke foto's van ons gemaakt. Wat een kennis heeft deze man over Tavira! En erg comfortable in de tuktuk. Met hoge temperaturen toch wat wind en je hoeft niet veel te lopen om veel te zien.

Visit of Tavira with 3 children from 4 to 12 years old: everyone had a great time!!! We were happy to have a French guide who perfectly mastered her subject. The visit is punctuated by moments of free visit, very pleasant to stretch your legs. It's a brilliant way to discover the city and its secrets in comfort.

This is a great tour that provides you with a macro view of the Algarve region if you are pressed for time while visiting this region. The tour takes you to a couple of coastal area neighborhoods that are spectacular and worth visiting. A tour worth its value.

Very enjoyable experience learning about Tavira on a tuk tuk ☺️ The stop at the salt flats was awesome! If you want to learn more about Tavira while there- Maria’s Tuk Tuk is where it’s at. Thank you João!

Nice experience. French-speaking guide. Nice overview of the city of Tavira. Fun visit to the observatory. top
