The best thing we did in the Algarve!!

★★★★★ Reviewed by Skyler on 2019-10-01
We did the heritage tour with Paolo today and it was the highlight of our month long stay in Portugal. Visiting old towns, walking the back streets all with a knowledgeable and friendly guide was absolute bliss. The van was great. But the driver was better. I can’t think of any way the trip could have been improved. Cannot recommend this trip enough. If we had found this company earlier in our holiday we would have done every tour they offer.
