"Booked a half day jeep safari and had the awesome Miguel! He shared so much of his knowledge of Portugal with us, stopping along the way to pick and show us parsley, plums, blackberries, oranges, figs, rosemary. Feeding the donkeys who came trotting over to see him and also feeding the tortoise. Miguel went out of his way to show us sights of the beautiful Algarve that you wouldn’t get to experience unless you were in a jeep. He was kind enough to show us his lovely home, Wife and cats. Cannot rate this trip especially Miguel who was a gentleman. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing as it’s great."
★★★★★
"He was formerly a chef and this became obvious as he shared his knowledge of all the local food, fruit and herbs. We actually went off road to see some fascinating villages and discover the way of life of those not involved in the tourist industry. A fascinating half day which we strongly recommend."
★★★★★

Our tour guide was so friendly, had great knowledge of the area and was a good laugh which was perfect for our small group of friends! So glad we booked this trip, otherwise we really would have missed out on seeing such lovely places."
