Highlights
- Ponta da Piedade Lighthouse - This is one of the most beautiful areas of Lagos. We can either take a boat ride to see the cliffs and caves (optional if available - own expense - around 20-25€/pax) or simply walk around the top of the cliffs and enjoy the wonderful scenery
- Praia do Camilo - Once considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world due to its dramatic limestone cliffs and clear blue waters, this is one of the most spectacular places to take amazing pictures.
- Algar Seco - Another great stop to admire a beautiful cave (Gruta da Boneca) and walk around the cliffs and natural pools
- Algar de Benagil - We will walk to the top of the world-famous Benagil Cave and take amazing pictures of the landscape. There is also a possibility of taking a boat ride to the cave itself and some surrounding beaches if the sea conditions allow. If you wish to take this boat ride, your guide can call the company to know if they are doing the boat rides during the day. We can also have lunch at one of the local restaurants, that serve fresh fish and seafood along with other dishes.
- Praia da Marinha - Considered the most beautiful beach in Portugal, this will be one of the most scenic landscapes you will see throughout this day.

Awesome experience! - Five stars for David. He is knowledgeable, flexible and caring. We had a private tour and visited Lisbon, Sintra and Cascáis. We visited many sight sites in our short time. We were lucky to meet him and had him as our tour guide.
My son had a great time, Dave make sure he was engaged. We definitely will be back and look for his help.

Highly Recommend! - I had never booked a tour on Viator before, but after reading the reviews for this tour, I decided to give it a try. I am definitely glad I did! David was amazing. He communicated before the tour so we knew exactly what to expect prior to meeting up. He took my mom and I to a local restaurant which was delicious! He planned the trip perfectly so we were able to visit a lot of beaches without ever feeling rushed and we got to stay longer at the one of the beaches we really liked. He was so helpful and he captured most of the beautiful pictures I have from the trip. He also gave us great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit in other parts of Portugal that we were traveling to later in the week. I will definitely book again when I go back to Portugal. Thank you so much David!! My mom and I loved the tour and it was definitely the highlight of our trip!

Great tour! - David was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. We traveled with our teens, and he was flexible with their interests and patient with our changing plans. He also recommended restaurants and activities for other days and locations we didnt have planned with him. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Algarve - Out day trip from Lisbon to Algarve was the best part of our family’s Portugal tour. David arrived on time at our hotel in Lisbon. The drive was so scenic . Reaching Algarve was like dream in paradise. The cliffs, the ocean and everything is breathtaking. No amount of pictures can justify the beauty of this place. The boat ride was a spectacular bonus. Our lunch at a local restaurant was unforgettable. Taking a private tour is the best way to do this if you have limited time in Portugal. We enjoyed every spot and we had a relaxing ride back and forth at the same time. This wouldn’t become possible if not for David’s expertise as a private tour guide.

Don’t miss Algarve! - David our tour guide was fantastic, making the trip phenomenal.
I’d like to give 10 stars but the site will only allow for a five!!
The boat ride he recommended was well worth it. The entire tour is 12 hours or so but well worth it.
I am so glad we booked the trip and David was our guide.

Highlight of Portugese adventure. - We loved our Algarve tour with Daniel. He picked us up right on time in a lovely new VW van. He capably drove us to many beautiful scenic places in the Algarve. Daniel was very knowledgeable about the area and provided interesting and informative commentary. We would highly recommend Daniel and this tour for anyone who wants to see the awesome scenery of Southern Portugal. We could not have asked for a more helpful and competent guide. If you can, ask for Daniel to help you see the Algarve in comfort and style!!
