Safari Trip

A very enjoyable half day tour, our guide Tiago was funny and very knowledgeable. Lovely to see the more traditional side of the Albufeira region. 2 good swimming spots. Good value for money, however the little villages only dealt in cash!

Great tour, vehicles need better maintenance

Great half day seeing sights of the Algarve with my wife and 9 year old. Saw many local villages, great spot at a waterfall with time for a dip in the river. Lots of off road sections and some great views along the way. Stopped at a small holding selling honey, local liquor which was nice, but a bit pricey. Guide was very knowledgeable. Only downside hence 4 stars was the jeep was old and had seen better days. Guide was constantly struggling to get it in gear. Clearly an issue with the clutch or gearbox, so did wonder at times if we'd make it to the end. Overall a great experience and would recommend.
