The trip is comprehensive and we loved everywhere we went. The cost was affordable but not inexpensive. 45 euros/pp. Every trip is exclusvie to your party regardless of size (we were a party of 2). It took approximately 2.25 hrs. Although it was the hottest day we were there 90 degrees fahrenheit, it was not hot on the Tuk tuk because you are shaded and moving. The driver and guide was extremely knowledgeable. He spent most of his life in Tavira, so he knows everything you could want to know. I loved this tour and I recommend you do this at the start of your visit to Tavira so you can go back to the places your like and spend more time later in your stay. The only suggestion I would make is that while moving the driver is facing away from you talking and it can be difficult to hear at times. We missed some things and that is the only reason I did not give 5 stars. Our driver was GREAT! We loved Renato.

We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed discovering Tavira with Renato and that the experience was such a highlight of your visit. We also sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback about hearing the commentary while the tuk tuk is moving. This is something we take seriously, and we'll continue looking for ways to improve so every guest can enjoy all the stories and information more clearly. It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to Tavira.
great way to see the entire area. Lori did great.
Renato was the perfect host being customer focused and courteous at all times. Being local he had a passionate edge to delivering all the detail of Tavira in each of the tour scenes.
Great tour of area with history. Incredible salt area and Tuna museum is a must.

This was a perfect way to see Tavira with my mum who has just turned 80. We saw so much and our guide Lori was absolutely brilliant and informative. It felt cool as we were going along. Saw flamingos on the salt plains and the tuna museum was fascinating. The caste gardens were beautiful and we wouldn’t have been able to walk up to see it so this all made it accessible.

Had a great time with our guide, John. He was very informative and gave a great tour. Fun to see the city by Tuk Tuk.
