Half-Day Algarve Countryside and Villages Jeep Safari

Lovely day. Very informative. Really enjoyed getting away from the tourist areas and seeing real Portugal and the Algarve.

It was a very interesting and relaxing excursion. In half a day we were able to discover a real countryside, see different landscapes, old traditional villages, learn about local nature and plants, including unique cork trees. A visit to a small distillery was worth it due to the quality of products to taste and buy.

If you like to get bounced around, this is the tour for you. The countryside was lovely to see. Our guide took us to a wonderful lookout point, an Arab's Castle ruins which also had a beautiful lookout as well as driving us through some very quaint towns. He was very funny and engaging! He even picked us each our own oranges from a grove.

It was a really enjoyable day. Good company, very informative and relaxing at the same time. Good to get out of the city and see what is grown in the countryside and visit their local produce.

A fantastic experience of viewing the wilderness of Portugal, and where all of the natural produce are grown. only let down was the drunken woman that joined later on would recomend again but maybe for a more private viewing

I can not fault the service or the driver at all. Very friendly and very knowledgable about the local area. However, the one thing our group was not happy about was the tour is advertised as visiting historical castles and villages? We went to one village for 20 minutes and couldn’t have a drink as the electric had gone. We didn’t even see any castles either. It is also advertised as a swim under a waterfall, I’m sorry but there was no waterfall, it’s just like a river which you can swim in? Also, the honey and liquor is in some ladies back garden and cannot be advised as a ‘distillery’ as it is far from it! Overall it was an ok tour but I feel like it was a lot of driving with not much to really see.

This jeep safari was a real taste of the Algarve and far exceeded my expectations of a tour of the countryside. Tomas our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the land, the fruit orchards, the wild flowers and plants native to Portugal which he stopped to show us along the way. He did this with such a sense of fun and enthusiasm, his very pleasant going nature, was a big highlight of the tour. We were brought to small villages high up in the mountains bordering the Algarve from our base in Albufeira and the views were absolutely stunning! The Jeep was the perfect transport for the sometimes rough terrain between the orchards and villages. We were blessed with amazing weather so it was a bonus to be in an open topped jeep for the duration of our trip which lasted about 3 hours. I did the afternoon session which allowed me to enjoy the morning sightseeing elsewhere before it got too hot. We were given the opportunity to taste local produce in the small villages we visited and able to purchase these liqueurs, jams, bee pollen and honey. I highly recommend this trip if you're looking for a unique activity during your stay in the Algarve.

Well worth doing. Kookie? Has great knowledge of local flora/fauna, the eco system and the trip was really interesting. Beautiful sites and learned about Portugals cork industry.Would definitely recommend.

Good experience in a 4x4. Must do to see real Algarve. It is kid friendly as well. My 4 year old had fun.

Private tour due to off season. Authentic understanding of the Algarve. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about the area.
