Beautiful Algarve Coast - Wow! What a fun, memorable and totally fabulous day we had. From the minute we got in the van. Antonio was so knowledgable about the area.

Seeing a very different Algarve - The trip took us to see many amazing beaches and cliffs. We didn’t realize how different the cliffs could be along the coast. Even though we only stopped in one village we got to see a number of them and it as just the right mix. The views of the ocean, waves and countryside were spectacular. Those who never get away from the south coast never get to see a very different Algarve. António was a great guide. His commentary, a mix of historical and personal information really made the day and his restaurant recommendations in Lagos were very helpful for us trying to choose where to eat from the uncountable number of restaurants in the city.

Excellent - Stunning scenery and we so appreciated getting to experience it from seemingly the best spots, a few we would never have known to go to on our own. And not having to drive ourselves made the day more relaxing and fun. The west coast is definitely wild and wonderful, close to nature, mostly undeveloped -- that's heaven to us! And Antonio was amazing. So knowledgeable. We asked a lot of questions and I don't think there was anything he didn't know about. So helpful, interesting, flexible, and easy-going. We loved our time with him and are already thinking about a second tour later with other friends. Thank you, Antonio!

Wonderful Day on the Spectacular Wild West Coast of the Algarve - We had a wonderful day with Antonio on the Spectacular West Coast of the Algarve area. We awoke to fog over Praia da Dona Ana, so were concerned about how much we would see, but Antonio had checked out the situation and set the plan for the day to start at the northern most points, where the skies were clear. We visited the fort in Aljezur and stopped in the local market (fish and local specialty food items), where we picked up some fresh oranges. We made stops at several beaches along the coast, all with spectacular, breathtaking views. Slow time of the year, so it was just us and we pretty well had the views to ourselves. A nice lunch and a Sagres beer at a cafe with a view of the Atlantic, could not ask for better. In the afternoon we visited Sagres to see the Fortress and more great views. There is a very nice little museum there, but the church was not open to see. We finished at Cape Vincent, the lighthouse at the furthest SE point, more views. Unfortunately, there was work going on at the lighthouse so we could not get past the gate, can happen in the off season. Antonio picked us up and dropped us off at our apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Antonio, he is very enthusiastic about sharing his love of this area of the Algarve and was open to discussing any topic that we raised during the day. We highly recommend this tour if staying in the Algarve (Lagos), there is so much more incredible scenery to see than just the beaches on the south coast. Thanks Antonio!

Beautiful Scenery & Good Vibes - We had a great day with Antonio as our guide. He moved at the perfect pace. We never felt rushed yet when we were done seeing each site he took the cue and we moved along. We went to places it seems others did not go - the value of having a local guide us. We saw feral cats, goats, and wild boar. Learned a bit of history around navigation, cork, etc. We would not hesitate to tour with Antonio, and in fact we wish we had time to go other places with him.

One of the best day tours from Lagos - We thoroughly enjoyed all 10 hours of this amazing tour. If you get Antonio as your guide, consider yourself very lucky. One of the very best, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and makes sure your needs are met. He found and stopped at a grove of cork trees just to make sure we could capture these on camera. The tour is super scenic - wonderful wild unspoilt beaches , cliff side views, old forts and castles. Go and you will not regret it.
