Awesome!
Ellie_M, October 2026
Geraldine was so fantastic as a guide, sweet and funny and chatty. My daughter and I loved the tour. The caves were beautiful, we saw so much, my daughter cliff jumped which was incredible! I haven’t done a tour before but it was so worth doing. We experienced so much more being taken to all the best places, we could just relax and enjoy. Fully recommend.

Amazing Day!
MelissaP, October 2026
We had an amazing day visiting Marinha Beach, Benagil Cave, and Carvoeiro! João was absolutely incredible and hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He was so personable, fun, and knowledgable about everything we were doing and seeing.
The entire day went smoothly, and he made the experience so much fun from start to finish.
I especially enjoyed our lunch break in Carvoeiro and having time to walk around and explore the town.
João was fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re booking this experience, definitely ask for João!

Hiking around the cliffs of Algarve
Michael_B, October 2026
Beautiful scenery and lunch spot. The climb around the Algarve cliffs is rather rigorous-lots of loose stones, tree roots, and up and down narrow valleys. Not too many stairs or handrails for people who need assistance.
So if you have difficulty with mobility, I would not suggest this tour.

A great way to see the algarve
Sharon_L, October 2026
We had a fantastic time with our guide Geraldine, she had great energy and knew exactly where all the best spots were to capture the perfect pictures. The whole day was a great mix of spectacular views with time out in a beautiful coastal village for a bite to eat, shopping or coffee. The small group works reallly well and makes the tour that more enjoyable. We also got some great suggestions afterwards for places to visit and eat in Faro. All in all a great experience!

Best tour!
417palmak, October 2026
This tour was incredible! (King) Arthur was an amazing guide with so much knowledge of the area. You can tell he loves his job. He was incredibly accommodating, inclusive, supportive, and always felt safe with him. Genuinely couldn't have asked for a better guide. October is probably the perfect time to go, the views and weather were absolute perfection. I cannot recommend this enough (especially for fairly able bodied people)
