A friend you didn’t know you had in Portugal - This is how I would describe our trip with Martha and Phillip.
They were both great in showing us around and looking after us throughout the excursion.
Marta, extremely caring, knowledgeable, witty with a great sense of humor. She was a great person to converse on the long drive to Algarve and back. Extremely proud Portuguese but critical, contemporary and conscious of what ails us. Wow.
Unhesitatingly recommend her to be your guide in Portugal. She knows the country like no other!

Raw powerful beauty and a great guide! - Algarve is awesome in its primeval power and beauty. The cliffs plunging into the ocean, the rocky promontories, the churning sea. Our guide Philip brought this to life with his well informed narrative and local knowledge. The coat ride into the caves that were carved by the ocean was otherworldly. Cool towns along the way and Cascais was a real treat. Don't miss this trip!

Beautiful Algarve area - fantastic guide! - This was a fantastic trip - we used Duca travels and Rui was super helpful in planning everything ahead of time. Filipe was our guide and he took the best care of us - he is like a walking encyclopedia - knows so much about the area and Portugal. The scenery and views were stunning and we had lunch at a delightful place - one also with an amazing view. Highly recommend this tour and using this company and their guides!

Lisbon to Algarve - We had an amazing day with Philip to the Algarve Coast. Marinha Bay, Algor Seco and Lagos all had picture postcard views. The 2-hour boat trip from Portimão to the caves was spectacular. The boat captain and Maria made sure we had perfect shots for Instagram. We had a delicious lunch at a restaurant in Portimão on the boardwalk. It was a long day, but well worth the experience. Philip was a wealth of knowledge about Portugal.

Take this tour if your lucky enough to get Fatima - Fatima, native and resident of Portugal, singer country proud during her custom planned day trip from Lisbon to Algarve. She had the trip planned perfectly; and allowed for modification and change as needed. This was a fabulous trip; and Fatima called us “family” as we felt we were part of her family thru out the day.

Must-do adventure! - This was the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide Filipe made the experience for us. He was very knowledgeable with Portuguese history and provided us with comfort along the journey. This was a private tour, with just myself and my adult daughter. We enjoyed so many great sights (the boat trip was amazing!), had a lovely lunch, and was in great company of our guide. Ask for Filipe when you book and you won’t be disappointed!

Best day trip ever - Filipe was our tour guide for a one day trip to Algarve from Lisbon. We had exceptional experience during the tour and the credit goes to our tour guide Filipe. We started our journey from the hotel and on way we got lot of insight about Portuguese culture from our tour guide. My daughter ( 7 year) had a blast on Benagil boat tour. Filipe showed us many beautiful landscapes during our tour. We never felt rushed and me and my husband both agreed that Filipe is an amazing tour guide who showed us the area like a family member. It was our best day during entire Portugal trip. Also, we had lunch at the ocean side restaurant with authentic Portuguese food as suggested by our tour guide which was a great experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy beautiful Algarve on a short trip and don’t want to miss while visiting Portugal. It’s a worth trip to do. And I highly recommend Filipe as a tour guide for his exceptional service and experience.

Exceptional tour with Algarve with Marta! - We had the absolute pleasure of spending the day exploring the Algarve with Marta and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, she made us feel completely at ease with her warm, personable nature.
Marta was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history, local traditions, and hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own. She tailored the day perfectly to our interests, and was always ready with a great story or an insider tip.
Beyond her expertise, it was Marta’s genuine enthusiasm and deep love for the Algarve and Portugal that made the experience so special. We left the tour not only with a deeper appreciation for this beautiful part of Portugal but also feeling like we had made a real connection.
We cannot recommend Marta highly enough.

Day trip to Algarve from Lisbon - Had an incredible day trip to the Algarve with Filipe, who took us to some truly unique and off-the-beaten-path spots that we never would’ve found on our own. The highlight of the day was hands down the boat ride to the Benagil cave with Maria—she was full of energy, so much fun, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Couldn’t recommend this trip more!
