Excellent and personal trip - What a great trip we had! Joao was amazing and made the trip a truly memorable occasion. His knowledge of the area was outstanding and he took us to some great spots. The trip to the top of the tower gave us the most amazing views.
Thank you for a great way to see historical Faro.

A beautiful meeting - Really a pleasant time and a great meeting. Joao knows his subject and shares his passion for history with us. A tuk tuk ride was a first for us which our guide made us appreciate. We also recommend we had the impression of being guided by Pierre Niney...

Fabulous all round tour … a “must do” if you visit Faro. - This was an excellent tour and one of the highlights of our holiday in the Algarve. The owner/guide Joao Batarda was first class … informative and entertaining. His English and historical knowledge of Faro were very good. This is a tour for 2 people so was perfect for me and my wife. Also, it was great value for money. Parking in Faro is not easy so seek guidance before driving into the city.

Besta City Tour in Faro - João, our guide and driver, was very attentive. He knew the whole story deeply, was very humorous and fun. It was the best CityTour I've ever done. I highly recommend it.
