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.

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.
