A great way to view Faro if you are here for a short stay. - Arrived at the hotel a few minutes ahead of schedule. A short safety explanation, and we were off.
Our driver took us to many of the secret locations around Faro. He was very informative and funny. Then we drove to the beach, the other side of the airport, stopped for a short while for a drink and view of the sea.
Finally, returning us back to the hotel.
As we were here only for a few days a great way to see and absorb the history and culture.

Good experience in Faro with nice guide - Guide was on time to pick up. After consultation we skipped beach. Nice tour, nice guide. However, our guide could have told us a bit more about the sights.
