Great way to see a beautiful part of Portugal. This particular company is better value than others. Book it. - We had a wonderful trip up the mountain stopping at a farm that had a stall where you could taste honey and other preserves and have a walk through the lavender and other gorgeous plants. We stopped for a break on the mountain to have a go on a massive swing and climb a tower followed by a short trip to a lovely village where you could have a snack and use the toilet. Lunch was further up the mountain and it was delicious with a choice of sangria (the best I've tasted), water or juice. All in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable trip with a cheerful and well informed guide who had an obvious love of Portugal and its traditions. Our trip was on Monday the 4th of September and I am sorry to say I have forgotten our drivers name as this is written a few weeks later. I highly recommend this particular jeep safari, such a pleasant trip and also cheaper than some of the others and it covers pretty much the same things. Well worth the time and money.

Very nice to know Algarve's culture - Very interesting tour. The guide was very good and provided us with lots of information. Outstanding as a guide, with sense of humour and kindness. Very good restaurant for the lunch break. The stop overs were all interesting however, the sequence of the stops is to be revised. We stopped in Alte town three times, in the morning for a coffee break and visit of the town, then moved to another site. Later back to Alte for lunch, then moved to another site. Again, back to Alte to visit the fountains. Therefore extra unnecessary km. Was this to fill in the full day excursion? I must say that the driver followed the programme given by the tour operator. The yellow jeep needs to be repaired, the right door does not open, and some other pieces are falling apart.

Hilarious driver, but bad time keeping - Guided visit = drive pass in the car Picked up from our hotel promptly and our driver was hilarious! Within minutes he had us at ease and enjoying his lively banter. The kids thought he was great. He stopped regularly to show us herbs and smell leaves, he was very knowledgeable and we were glad he was driving and not us, the roads were quite off road! Castle was good, we didn’t stop at Sao Bartolomeu de Messines at the cafe, we thought guided visit to the animal farm meant we would get out to see animals but it was a drive pass, we didn’t stop by the fountains (even though we wouldn’t have swam anyway, it would have been nice for a photo), then on the way back the driver looked at his phone and seemed surprised. He proceeded to drive REALLY slowly home. We arrived 15 minutes early. Felt a bit cheated then. So mixed review!
