Friendly and informational - We got a tour around the city where our guide explained all of the unique flora of Portugal as we drove by the various trees. Our guide was friendly and informational. We got to try some flavoured liqueur (classic Portugal flavours) as well as some local jams. We ended the tour at a winery where we got a tour and to taste their wines. Fun experience to meet some new people and to enjoy with those you already know.

A great experience - My Wife and I took a half day tour which included a really cool jeep ride through the countryside outside Albufeira and also a visit to a winery where we had the opportunity to sample four delicious wines. Along the way we stopped off to sample some locally produced spirits and dipping sauces. Our driver Miguel picked us up at our hotel and was very friendly and was very informative about the things that we saw along the way. He stopped at various places to show us some of the locally grown produce such as almonds, wild fennel and of course the acres and acres of oranges! We also stopped off at a small village where we had an opportunity to grab a coffee and some homemade treats as well as visit the bathroom. When we went offroad and away from villages we could stand up in the back of the jeep and really get a good view of our surroundings. Overall, we had a great time on the tour and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone that's looking for an activity with a difference that won't take up the whole day.

Your - Jorge was a fantastic guide. Got to experience the country side on the safari truck and later a wine tasting with charcuterie. Winery staff were extremely educated. The winery has been in the family for multiple generations so it was great to support a local business

Would happily recommend this half day wine tour - The Jet 2 rep recommended this tour and we were not disappointed our tour guides knowledge and information was outstanding I think his name was Guille! The visit to the wine grower QUINTA DO CANHOTO was not only interesting but the wines were superb as was the platter of nibbles supplied to us all during the tasting , bought 4 bottles to take back to our apartment.

Wine tour only, no safari - The wine tour was absolutely wonderful! The vineyard and the experience were educational and enjoyable. We could have done without the safari and gone straight to the wine tasting. I recommend doing without the safari and just the wine tasting.
