magical,one off your bucket list! Well worth it!!! - Wow! A magical experience, maybe a once in a lifetime experience, cross off your bucket list! A big shout out to Cody, the tour guide. He rocked up (on time) 4x4 jeep! We went to the albufeira mountains & stopped at famous landmarks, saw clay quarry & factory,where all beautiful ornate colourful crockery was manufactured, Cody stopped next at a village ,we had loo break & went to this gorgeous church. Stunning & peaceful. Cody gave us free time 30 mins to go to cafe & shop.mix with genuine old Portuguese town folk. Then we went past a castle & saw the oldest Olive tree, go on the trip to find out more about these excursions! Went to a farm, saw animals there,tried fresh honey from their bees, they sell lots of fresh herbs, all ready to buy for cooking, healthy teas & medicinal benefits. Different Jams too! Wow & firewater, famous shot 2 types, so strong but lovely after taste, go yourself to see % lol. (Don't want to spoil it for you).
We were there maybe 45 mins.
We then went futher up the mountain to another little village, it was set up that you could swim in a natural spring, there were toilets to use & get changed, there was ice- cream van for ice-creams,crepes ^ alcoholic/ non alcoholic cocktails/mocktails fabulous! 20/30 mins there. The family who were on the experience with us ,they gad forgotten their swimming kit,so Cody dropped us up then took family to buy swimming gear to share the experience. (Totally went above & beyond, nothing was too much trouble!) Then it was drive up the mountain to the source of the spring , the natural spring wild swimming pool. On arrival you walk over look down to the waterfall, not for buggies,prams,wheelchairs or walking aids,(Walking sticks yes ,as I walk with one) omg, you look down to this magical natural water souce, like somewhere that's only stumbled across in films...., you have to walk down to it lots of steps but you can do so many then rest.slow & steady. Well worth it, felt spiritual, healing, adrenaline, incredible opportunity at 30/35 euros & each time you use them you fet discount on your account! Portugal is famous for the world's oilve oil & oranges. We saw thousands & thousands of orange/ olive trees ,infact Cody stopped & got up some fresh oranges to try ,omg sweet & juicy straight from the tree,cannot get fresher than that! (wet wipes needed).

5* for a reason - Amazing experience that lasted all afternoon a great way to fill a day, the tour guide is very knowledgeable and passionate about history and that’s a perfect way to be especially about your home country, a very unique experience that I don’t think you’d get anywhere else!

Safari tour - We decided to go on this trip as the weather wasn't very good so this was a great way to fill an afternoon.
Cody, our guide was very friendly and helpful. He had a good knowledge of local and historical information that made the tour very interesting as well as fun.
We would highly recommend this adventure trip as it was good value, interesting and enjoyable.

action-packed and informative - The Albufeira Safari Tour with waterfall and villages was a great experience off the beaten track. Driving in an off-road vehicle through the nature of the Algarve was exciting and offered many beautiful views. Especially the stop at the waterfall was a highlight – quiet, natural and perfect for photos.
The villages visited gave a good impression of traditional life in the region, and the guide's explanations were interesting and informative. The guide was friendly, well organized and made the tour very pleasant.
Overall a varied mix of nature, culture and adventure. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get to know the Algarve from another side.

Wow! Simply amazing - Wow! What a day! This was our second tour with this company and totally blew us away.
We opted for a private jeep safari and both days we have had the same guide, Arthur.
The day was jam packed with action including the last spot which was our favourite, the gorgeous waterfall.
Arthur was full of knowledge and kept our son entertained and was so happy to answer all his questions.
Having the private tour meant we were never rushed and had plenty of time at each location.
We would highly recommend this company who did everything to ensure we had a wonderful and memorable experience.

Worth the price of admission - Cody was our guide, he picked us up right on time at our hotel. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the areas he took us. Unfortunately the road to the castle Paternal is now closed off for construction so we could only see the structure and 1000 yr old olive tree from across the valley. However all the other stops we made were great and off the beaten track. We saw a beautiful village as it has always been & untouched by hordes of tourists & development, a natural spring head where locals come to spend time swimming, also a natural waterfall & swimming hole, orange orchards as far as the eye can see, a tour of a small farm, a quarry where clay was once extracted and the factory that made it into bricks and the flag that the local village painted on a massive rock face to support Portugal's Football Club world cup (they won) and so much more. It really was a wonderful afternoon and worth the price to have a local guide do the driving to areas in the country you likely wouldn't find otherwise. Even though the castle ruins would have been interesting to see Cody was knowledgeable about it and shared the history & influence of the Moors in this area. Definitely recommend.
