Sierra de Monchique

"We booked a half day tour from Paderne and we were not disappointed. We have been coming here for over 10 years and wish we had done it sooner. Our guide Nuno was fantastic, full of lots of interesting facts that we had no idea about and was lovely to learn a little about the culture and history of the Algarve. We had our 7 year old with us who never became bored because Nuno made sure to add in lots of fun along the way. We collected lots of things for a school project and had an amazing time off-roading up in the mountains. Our little monster said it was 'the best day ever' so if that is not a recommendation I don't know what is! ;) Thanks Nuno for a fabulous morning, the best adventure and lots of laughs! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)"

"We were collected outside our apartment by Isabel our guide for the day. The safari was just our family and a fantastic mix of local information about the nature and traditions of the area and the thrill of driving off road. We visited villages, honey productions farms and the highest point on the mountains. We really enjoyed it."

"We had an amazing day and the driver was very funny. It was great to see some places outside of the tourist area in Albufeira."

"Loved this day trip to see the countryside of Portugal! Saw a complete different side which was so refreshing! Ask for Miguel he was super funny and knowledgeable and interacted with both us and the kids! Loved every second"

"We went on the all day safari and our driver Miguel really made the day for us. We visited a few local sights and a castle, drove off road through the mountains, went firewater and honey tasting, had lunch and then visited a public fresh water pool. The lunch was 3 courses and unlimited wine and juice; if you wanted more food the restaurant where ready and waiting and we were able to get a second jug of white wine to go with the red with no problems at all and no additional cost. It was a great unique experience that was different to day trips we had done elsewhere and I could not recommend Miguel enough!!"

"This was the best thing we done on holiday. Our driver was Peter he made it great fun. I think half day is enough."
