What People Are Saying

"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."
