Great Day - Felipe Crespo is an outstanding guide. We spent 12 hours in his company as he escorted us around the Algarve. His knowledge of Portugal in general and the Algarve in particular is encyclopedic. He is warm and engaging with a wonderful sense of humor. We could not recommend him higher.

Private tour from Lisbon to Algarve and Benagil cave - We took this long 10 hr tour from Lisbon to Algarve region and loved every part of it. Our driver Felipe was very professional and picked us up in e brand new Mercedes EQS. Drive to south of Portugal is long but beautiful. We reached and first did an hour-long hike along the cliffs visiting natural cave formations. This was capped by a fresh OJ at a local stand .Later we took a 2 hr boat trip to the Benagil cave. Boat was somewhat small and the waters were choppy in March but the thrill and vistas were worth it. Lunch was recommended by our driver at a family run oceanfront restaurant "Mar e sol" in a dreamy town called Portimau. On our way back we stopped at another beachside cafe to grab an espresso . People everywhere were nice and welcoming. This trip is definitely recommended without doubt! Thanks Felipe for making our day memorable!

So beautiful! - What a perfect ending to our 8 days in Portugal. The beautiful weather was the icing on the cake, but we so enjoyed the stunning coastline and caves during our visit to the Algarve area of Portugal. The catamaran ride was more than we expected. Beyond the caves, we saw dozens of bottlenose dolphins as they frolicked alongside our boat. It was just wonderful. Once again Felipe, was an excellent tour guide. We have thoroughly loved the treat of private tours during our Portuguese vacation, thanks to him.

Caves and cliffs - I would recommend this private tour with Jose Santos. The drive is a couple hours long but the transportation was in a comfortable AC van. Went to some cliffs to explore around and then went on a boat tour of the coastline caves and dolphin watching. (Only saw one dolphin on the way back from the caves but it was a choppy day out!) Then we went to lunch at a local Portuguese chicken restaurant. Tour started at 7 am and got back to Lisbon around 6:30.

Our tour guide, Jose... - Our tour guide, Jose Santos, thought of every last detail. He was very kind and attentive, and was a wealth of knowledge. Our tour perfectly captured the beauty, ambiance, and cuisine of the region. The Benagil boat tour is a must!

Time efficient way to experience the area. - Very efficient way to see the area. The driver was very knowledgeable, friendly and knew exactly where to take us for the perfect experience. The ride down was broken up with stops and the driver was full of tidbits about the countryside. We drove past cork trees, olive trees and an olive oil factory. Many orange, apple, and pear trees covered the landscape. We also saw salt marshes where they gather the sea salt. We saw many stork nests and flamingos. The spot for lunch was a delicous restaurant on the beach. The boat ride was on a smaller sized boat so we were able to go into many caves. The Karst landforms are spectacular. The limestone is full of fossils.

That was followed up by a fast boat transporting us in and out of the Benagil Caves . It was Amazing the skipper got us very close inside the caves and this is a must do trip. Had lunch overlooking the beach & drove back to Lisbon. I highly recommend this trip!!!
