Great scenery and history lesson from Andrei our tour guide. - A tour of the eastern Algarve region has largely improved our understanding its rich history beginning from Roman occupation. The architecture and landscape of each characterises the culture of people who dominated the land throughout the centuries. I loved the experience.

Great full day tour - highly recommend if you wish to explore the area and the history - I highly recommend this tour. Benny the driver and tour guide provided a lot of history of the area and of Portugal. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Each of the stops were great and more than enough time to explore. This a very enjoyable day tour. I requested via message on were to meet the tour van. They ask on were I was staying and picked us up there. Making it very easy for us.

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.
