Perfect trip from Lisbon to Algarve. - This trip was perfect. We booked last minute and we are glad we did. David was an excellent host and guide. As the other reviews stated, he was on time, the car was clean, he provided water and wifi in the van, he communicated flawlessly and he took us to the most beautiful spots. We did the optional boat tour of Benagil caves and it was worth it. He was able to adapt our itinerary to what we were feeling. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or book him again! Thanks David!!

Beautiful coast - Daniel is a wonderful guide! He is so considerate and friendly and took great care of us, treating us like family and not just stangers. The Algarve is such a beautiful place and the boat ride is an absolute must if weather allows. This was a beautiful day and we lucked out with Daniel as our guide. We really enjoyed our trip and appreciate Daniel very much! Irene & Lina

Perfect Day! - David, our tour guide picked us up from our hotel and he was absolutely amazing! His knowledge of the area is extensive and we loved the fun trivia we learned along the way. Our morning drive to Portimao to pick up our boat was lovely. The boat tour of the coast was breathtaking and entering the caves felt magical. Lunch in Lagos at an authentic Portuguese restaurant was a must do! Followed by seeing the cliffs at Ponte da Piedade.Don’t miss students beach and walking through the small cave. I gave this tour 10 out of 10 because David was so great and would give it more as it was truly a fabulous day!

Day tour to Algarve beaches and boat tour - One of the best tour guide named Daniel. The owner is David. The whole experience was so good that I will call to hire him when any of my family or friends go to Portugal. He came on time,car was very clean. We are vegetarian and he kept that thing in mind while chosing restaurants during this great day tour. He gave enough time at each destination to make sure you enjoy and relax and never feel rushed. Thanks Daniel. Such a wonderful country and people.

Over the Top Tour Exceeding Expectations - David took incredible care of us from start to finish! His English is so good, we couldn’t believe he was not American! He was funny, informative, professional and made our trip to the ALGARVE the premiere highlight of our 10 day trip to Portugal. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a trip to Portugal- wish I’d known about him sooner so I could have booked more of our time there with him! He knows the whole country thoroughly!

100000/10 incredible experience! - We could not have asked for more out of our Algarve trip!!! Truly, David was incredible. Friendly, caring, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He exceeded our expectations in every aspect possible. Showing us breathtaking sights, introducing us to local cuisine, and ensuring we were happy and comfortable throughout our time with him. He always made sure we had water, and even provided some snacks so we didn’t become hangry :) The car drive there and back felt so short as David does a great job of keeping conversation going and we were able to learn so much about the area from a local!! The areas of the Algarve he took us to were nothing short of spectacular. We didn’t want our trip with him to end! We are SO happy we did this and have memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for everything David!!!

Algarve wonder - The Algarve region is so stunningly beautiful, take the day and take this tour. We started the day at on overlook that just teased us in to what we were going to see the rest of the day! Then we drove along the coast through these amazing little towns to get to Portimao for a 2 hour boat tour that went east along the coast into all sorts of caves and we even saw a dolphin! After the boat tour, David took us to this amazing restaurant that was guiltingly cheap and VERY tasty. Staff was lovely. Food was so fresh and all inclusive for 12.50 euro (not sure how they make $ - worth a tip). Ponta da Piedade is a beautiful lighthouse with lovely boardwalks to take in the gorgeous views. Saving the best for last was our guide David. As the tour operator, he really gives out such a detailed tour and makes the day fun. I would love to give this tour a 10 but sadly limited to the 5 stars allowed. David was a great communicator before the tour setting details with us to ensure the day was successful. Yes it 2.5 hours out of LIsbon but the drive was easy and rest stops available. David was a conscientious driver and guide throughout our day. Would I hire David for another tour? Yes absolutely!
