★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 571 reviews · 4 hours · from $68Our pick

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.”

2.Land Rover Safari with Sunset Viewing, Dinner, & Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 395 reviews · 6 hours · from $99

Review of Crete’s six-hour Land Rover mountain safari, with village stops, sunset prosecco, local dinner, unlimited wine, and practical tips.

“George was an INCREDIBLE host and driver for the evening. We both had a fantastic time and felt it was worth every penny. There are multiple stops along the way with stunning settings for photos. George was instrumental in encouraging everyone to capture the moments, with his own photography skills highly commended. The evening meal was at a great local authentic Greek tavern, which also accommodated vegan options within the food offered. We would not hesitate to recommend this experience to someone else! P.s. we would recommend bringing some cash to buy the olive oil and honey along the journey.”

“Overall it was good. Unfortunately it was not a nice day, the guide couldn't help that. My only critique is they should have a contigency in place in case of inclimate weather. It was very windy, cold and a little rainy. At the stop with the lighthouse, the guide said no use in walking around the point to see the lighthouse but I wish he would have given us that opportunity as it was something to see and do rather than sit at the restaurant. The buggys were fun to drive and the wine tasting at the end was great. One other reviewer said it was dissapointing and in someone's…”
