“If I was rating the guide and safari itself, it would have been 5*. However the itinerary as shown did not match the itinerary on the day, which was not an issue and trip was still thoroughly enjoyable, but not entirely what was advertised. Other than that, both children and I had a great time.”
Review of Albufeira’s 4x4 countryside safari, cork forests, local farm treats, vineyard tour, wine tasting, practical tips, and value.
“Absolutely loved this tour!! The tour guide was fantastic and very informative and passionate about the area and what tourism brings to the area but also what a lot of tourists miss just by not going out of the main city/towns. The only thing I would recommend would be to definitely take cash with you because card transactions in the villages is basically non existent.”

Review of Sintra Jeep Safari: palaces, beaches, Cabo da Roca, local food, off-road driving, practical tips, price, and who should book.
“I was in a group of the 3 friends and we had a great time on this tour. There were another couple in the back of the jeep with us and we all got along, Bruno helped to make everyone feel welcome - he was an excellent guide. The sites were amazing and the food was delicious. It got a bit cold and foggy towards the end and Bruno supplied us with blankets. This is a great way to see Sintra and the surrounding sites!”

Explore Algarve villages, cork trees, local spirits, countryside tracks, lunch, and a river swim on this full-day Jeep safari from Albufeira.
“The full day tour was fantastic. We really did get up into the hills, twisting in and out of the dirt tracks between villages in the open topped jeep. Lunch was tasty and the small villages we visited were authentic and unspoiled by the mass tourism of Albufeira. There certainly was a different pace of life in the hills. Our guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the local area and it's culture. (Although he needs to be a bit more diplomatic and sensitive, especially with sensitive topics of discussion). Overall a great day out for all the family. And a great way to see the authentic Portugal. Would do…”

“Absolutely amazing day out with Walter and the rest of the groups! Was wonderful learning so much about the Algarve and the culture. Our 2 teenagers loved it and the icing on the cake was stopping to see the race track which they enjoyed very much! Walter kept us engaged the whole time and even stopped the jeep on occasions to take in the aroma of spring flowers and fruits! Wonderful meal at lunch (peri peri chicken) with a good amount of wine! Topped off with a trip to the distillery for some firewater...yes we bought some to take back! Thank you all for a great experience and wonderful memories”

We went to see some incredible places, and despite getting sunburn (my fault), it was great fun and I would highly recommend it. The off-road part was quite short so couldn't stand up for too long but it was good fun anyway, I would do it again thanks to the guide, Miguel!”

Explore rural Algarve by Land Rover, with Paderne Castle, Alte, mountain views, local tastings, hotel pickup, and a lively guide.
“This was meant to have an English speaking tour guide & I’d read great things about Carla, however our tour guide although nice had limited English. This meant we didn’t learn much about the places we were going to & we’re just driven around. The places we saw were lovely but I wouldn’t do this tour again & feel our experience didn’t live up to previous reviewers. It was a lot of money for what we got.”
