- Wonderful tour with Joao, who gave us wonderful insightful details about the area while managing the itinerary brilliantly, taking into account our small children who needed the occasional break for ice cream and running around! We saw eagles, partridge, scores of fruit trees, eucalyptus, "fire water" berries and more, and we stopped at great local cafes and a beautiful mountain top with incredible 360deg views. About 5h in total from Martinhal, including some fun off-road which was bumpy but exciting.

Full of *hit and giggles as a Kiwi would say. - This is a must do trip, it delivered way more than we anticipated and was not your average sanitized tourist experience. It was fun, bumpy, dusty, and full of screaching and giggling from our two back seat passengers who had obviously never been off road before. Our guide John was super knowledgeable and delightful y entertaining throughout the entire trip. Book this trip and you will not be disappointed.

Brilliant - Monchique was awesome! Stunningly beautiful and loved the offroad part especially. JOAO was informative and funny through out. I honestly will be recommending this company for excursions. The best there is.

A nice guide but not a good tour - The tour guide was a friendly and good guy. I need to make this clear. It just wasn’t, however, a very good or interesting tour. We didn’t visit the main town which I was expecting. We spent most of the trip looking at, and talking about a lake that had no water.
