Great your - Mena was such a great guide- she explained the town’s history as we walked through this beautiful town there were some steps but nothing too strenuous.

Loved it and would always recommend it - The tour was amazing! Mena told us a lot about the history of Albufeira and gave us an extensive tour of the town. We saw some places that we definitely would’ve missed without her and got a glimpse of what Albufeira used to look and be like. We were also able to ask some questions that we had about recommendations of places to go for food and drinks as well as things to do outside of Albufeira.
The tapas bar where we ended the tour had a nice selection of typical Portuguese tapas and a good selection of wine. We will definitely visit the place again. She also told us that it is a place where the locals go to and we definitely saw that.
We were also told that we can contact her if we have additional questions about the area or need more recommendations. All in all a success and very much worth it.

Walking tour with the wonderful Mena - This is our first trip to the Algarve and Albufeira so we thought a walking tour would be a good way to explore the old town. We had the most friendly, knowledgeable guide called Mena who was just lovely and explained so much about the history of Albufeira and had us laughing and smiling as we walked round. At the end of the tour we also got to try some local wine and tapas including cheese and fishcakes which were delicious.
Thankyou so much to Mena for looking after us . If you're thinking of doing a walking tour of Albufeira it's a great way to see the local sights .

Get a glimpse of the real Albufeira - We had a great guide in Mena, she had a vast knowledge of the history of Albufeira and took us on a fantastic tour of the old castle, the narrow cobbled streets and the beach. In the end she took us to an an authentic Portuguese tapas bar. We recommend this tour to everyone interested to see beyond the typical tourist experience. Wear good shoes and bring a bottle of water. We give Mena 5 of 5 stars.

Really enjoyed this fun... - Really enjoyed this fun walking tour with tapas.Catered for me as vegetarian non-drinker & really enjoyed some company for the evening.
Start location is a bit confusing from the map- its actually at the bottom of the escalator in Fisherman's Square.
