Nice half day tour - Even though I had to pay for 2 guests for the tour to go out even I was traveling solo it was worth it. Was picked up on time at hotel and spend 4 hours enjoying all the sites listed on the tour. Would have been more expensive to rent a car to this on my own, time consuming and hard to find parking. My guide knew exactly where to go and park and enjoy sites.

A good mix of destinations for a well priced half day outing - A great half day outing with Sergio to see some very different aspects of the Algarve. A good mix of destinations with interesting commentary from Sergio. For us the highlight was the trip to the fish market and the glass of wine and fish snack. Highly recommended.
