Full day taking in parts... - Full day taking in parts of the algarve most people don't see. Amusing and professional driver and guide.

Fantastic full day tour of the west Algarve - Great day out, wonderful photo opportunities in Lagos, Silves, as well as the beautiful ocean and view from the top of the mountain Monchique. Our tour guide Johnny was full of local knowledge and had a great sense of humour. So much fun!

Amazing - Jonny is absolutely amazing. This tour gave us another outlook on the algarve that we would have never gotten if we did not take this tour. We were able to ride in a smaller car so we could see more places that a big bus could not get to which was a bigger plus. I recommend this tour 100000%.

West Albufeira tour was memorable - Our tour guide Johnny was very knowledgeable about the area's history. He pointed out the interesting areas and things we passed by. We were surprised to see all of the stork nests and hear their stories. We stopped at varied towns so we could stretch our legs and shop if we were so inclined. It was a memorable day.

More of a taxi ride than a guided tour - The driver was also a guide, meaning he was driving us from one stop to another only, not walking us through the places we were visiting. He was talking about interesting facts, but it lacked information and tips about the places included in the programme. You had to do your own research to be able to know where to go and what to visit during the stops. The one-hour-long stop in Lagos in the morning was not enough, especially keeping in mind the most interesting museums were only opening 30 minutes before our departure. Overall, the visited places were magnificent, but the organisation of the trip should be improved.

Don’t book with trip advisor - The trip was v good but I had to pay extra to change my day to avoid awful weather. I should have cancelled for free and rebooked. Unable to get through to company to complain . The actual tour company made no such charge

Drama due to not enough legroom on the bus - Legroom on the bus was far too little. My wife and I have an average height, but I was definitely 2 inches short of legroom. As a result, I sat for 11 hours with cash pain and have virtually nowhere to walk due to pain in my back and knees. Most participants complained about the legroom. Excursion was booked from cabenas via tui.
