Great East Algarve Experience - Even though we have been to the Algarve several times in the past and visited a couple of the towns in the tour, we learned many new and interesting things, visited a few locations we had never seen and had an excellent ‘typical’ Portuguese lunch. Vasco, our driver/guide was outstanding - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun. The trip was well organized and paced. It was easy to arrange and the door-to-door pick-up was appreciated.

Thoroughly enjoyable day out. - We wanted to see parts of the Algarve that we hadn’t visited before and are so glad we did, our guide Vasco was a mine of information. We visited a sea salt producer who uses eco friendly methods to produce salt, much more interesting than it sounds! We saw the Ria Formosa natural park then on to a couple of picturesque villages east of Faro. The included fresh fish meal was the best we have tasted. A really great day out with an excellent guide.

A wonderful east secret trip - Definitely recommend this very nice trip to east Algarve. The guide Vasko was a wonderful narrator, gave us a lot of very interesting information, answered all of our questions. Very helpful and with great attitude. There is a lot to be seen in the east and Vasko did everything to show us most of its secrets. Lunch was delicious too.

Secrets of the East with Vasco as the guide - An excellent guide and day long tour. Who would have thought that a visit to the salt pans would be interesting - just one of the stops on the way but entertaining and lots of facts. The lunch (fish) was also great. Vasco was informative and very funny too.
