Eastern side (full day) - Enjoyed our trip going to some nice places on the eastern side, some places were pretty and quiet, Faro was more busy but had some lovely architecture. Our guide was a lovely guy with plenty of knowledge about the area and the country

Nice to see all cities of Eastern Algarve - It was a nice experience, but they do not organize pickup from Lagos, only in Albufeira. So I had to take the earliest bus to Albufeira

Felt like a taxi ride - Felt like a taxi ride being dropped off in town near shops and restaurants. A bit of history from the driver, but very ordinary.

Not Impressed - Felt like a taxi ride - We were four friends on the tour and the tour felt more like a taxi ride to different places. The driver was courteous and forthcoming, but the tour itself on the boring side. We were always dropped off near shops and restaurants, but we wanted to see and feel the regions. Overall, I would not recommend. We had also booked the Full Day Guided Tour Historical Algarve Finest, but because of our experience, we cancelled it.
