A well-structured, well-managed tour that gave us a brilliant day to remember. The two wineries we visited were smaller, regional producers whose size enables them to focus on making superlative wines of exceptional quality in relatively low quantities (each producing slightly less than 100K bottles...or around 8,000 cases per year). This gives them control over their products, resulting in wonderful wines in which they take well-deserved pride. Their enthusiasm in explaining their production methods, and sharing their insights into the variables of climate, terroir and distribution provided a singular education on the whole wine-making process. This was well-worth the trip!

Very good safari out of city and to see history and nature side of the algarve. Jose was an amazing host who went out of his way to show us things not on the itinery and was so knowledgeable. Couldnt have been a better guide and loved seeing the non tourist part of the area.

This was the best experience ever. Andre was a natural and an amazing tour guide. What a way to tour both cities. It was my partner's first time on a seaway and he just loved it. This is a must do experience. You will not regret it.
