Overall experience - Our guide was wonderful, she took the time to take pictures for everyone who wanted one. She was very knowledgeable and super friendly. So glad we took the tour. Coming from our hotel we didn’t get to purchase water for ourselves so I would have gladly paid extra for the tour to include water in the van. One addition to the pre tour information would be to bring cash for the snack bar at the beach.

Pretty places - This was a great tour however there was to be a max of 15 people and there were 21 plus 3 drivers and 2 tour guides. This caused delays and not everyone could here the tour guide for every explanation. Beautiful place and views, nice stops and our guide was quite knowledgeable. The stops are very touristy and were a bit crowded.

Good experience but not what I was looking for - Great way to see the caves from the top. Note that this is a hiking activity. The car stops and then you hike to the caves. You only see benagil from the top of the hollow as well. Algae seco was really a nice view and the best experience, same as Praia de marinha beach and the views of the caves on the other side of the beach. If you plan to take a picture with benagil with the hollow then this isn’t the tour. Also, there’s no boat riding, as everything is done on bus, including the beach, which is the marinha beach

Not Worth It / Do It On Your Own - The tour guide didn’t really add anything to our experience. We brought our moms (ages 50s and 60s) with us, and we probably slowed the group down (sorry group!). That said, the terrain for the beginning of this tour is very uneven, sharp and rocky. The tour guide rushed us along to each part and didn’t give us any information about what we were seeing. They even left part of our group behind! A driver had to go back and get them. I would say do this activity on your own. No need to use a guide.

Untrustworthy, waste of time, money and stress. - We had the most unprofessional experience with this company just this week. We booked this excursion weeks in advance and on the day of, we were at the meet up point and a man came up to the group saying the vans were in an accident and some people wouldn’t be able to go. Our trip was cancelled online right then but he offered us to pay cash and get in the same van that was in the accident but it might “break down on the highway.” Already not a great start… But, we rebooked for another day because the first day was ruined but it was a highlight point of the trip so we really wanted to go. We reached out to Viator for compensation since the day was wasted and voiced our concerns about the safety of the trip. Then, Viator sent our complaint to the tour company and the next thing you know, the rescheduled trip gets cancelled out of nowhere with no explanation. On top of everything, we switched around our other excursions to accommodate the rebooking and paid even more money, to extend our stay. Completely untrustworthy company, sketchy, petty, overall I wish I had never wasted my time. I’m extremely disappointed because this was the one thing I was the most excited for when coming to Portugal and Faro.

Its NOT A BOAT TOUR! And you don’t go to the caves - Dont let the picture fool you, you go to a beach next to the caves and its a van transfer. Also, my mom is handicapped and she wasn’t able to ride in it and we didn’t get out money back . The person I talked too was extremely rude. Make sure you read the fine print
