Highly recommend! - We were amazed by the length of the tour and how many sights and picture spots we were able to visit. Cody was a delightful host who had extensive knowledge of the area and went the extra mile to give us a fantastic tour!

A great day out - We wanted to get out into the countryside to see another side to Albufeira than the busy resort. This trip was great - it took us through beautiful farmland, orange groves and hills. We learned a lot about local history and stopped at some lovely villages where we sampled local honey and firewater and ate some delicious fresh figs. We stopped at a spring where my son had a swim (I would have loved to swim too but didn't bring a costume - if you do this tour definitely bring something to swim in). Overall a great day. One of the highlights of our holiday.

Would Recommend! Nature/History Tour - Flew my mum out to Portugal for her birthday & booked a private jeep safari tour with Cody which she wanted & it didn’t disappoint. We had a great time and got to see a lot more places than usual during this time of year (Nov) which was amazing. We certainly wouldn’t have done so on our own! Although my mum got tired and hungry towards the end of the tour lol (I would recommend taking a Jacket as it can get windy/cold in the back seat, a drink and snacks if lunch not included), it was a wonderful experience and definitely a highlight of our holiday. Would recommend Cody as your Safari guide for anyone visiting Algarve, very knowledgeable & down to earth individual. Thanks again Cody! Nadine & Janet

Our holiday highlight! - My husband and I booked a private Safari Nature tour with Cody and we had a wonderful time. He was very responsive to my messages running up to making a booking and was friendly and knowledgeable throughout the tour. It was wonderful to get away from the main drag to explore more quieter, rural areas. A definite highlight of our holiday. We highly recommend Cody and Algarveflashbackholidays :-) Thanks!

Totally worth it - I had had great times in Portugal before this time it was covid season and the whole experience throughout the trip had been kind of ... MEH. To make matters worse I had brought my friend along with me so feeling the pressure of showing him a good time. Normally I don't go for these types of tours, as I often find them too generic. Our time in Portugal was nearing its end with nothing to lose I decided to book this tour. It turned out to be the best decision during the whole week. When I told our guide our holiday had been sub par so far he took it as a personal challenge to show us a great time before we left back home. We were lucky that the people that tagged along with us were on the same wavelength as us. We had great conversations many laghs during the whole day. As for the tour itself it had a bit of everything. Our tour guide took us into nature showing the local breathtaking countryside and cliffs. Then some wine tasting. Then we were taken to a sort of a cathedral made out of human bones. Definitely an intense experience as we could feel the energy of the tortured Souls paving the walls of this Monument. Then for the gastronomical part of the tour the best chicken I've ever had in my life. Turns out it's a local specialty that I had been missing out on. All this paired with the great sense of humor as well as the will to go above and beyond of our young tour guide. It ended up being the best day we had during our brief getaway (by far!) . Best of all I met my future girlfriend that I plan on making my wife very soon. Truly an unforgettable day. I can honestly recommend this to tour to people of all ages and walks of life. I can't wait to go again. Five stars !

Leave the tourists behind and get a feel of the real Algarve! - I’m so glad we chose this tour. To be shown a hidden side of the Algarve that many don’t get to see. The castle, the hidden lake and the beauty of the countryside as we drove around. And to do it with Cody who told us so much, kept it fun, interesting and so very friendly. I’d recommend this tour to anyone that wants to see the real Algarve.
