What people are saying about Lagos

This was a fabulous tour to learn about some of the history of the Algarve region, explore some unique areas, like the thermal spa in Caldas, appreciate the amazing views on top of the mountain, and end the day enjoying some wonderful wine at a local winery. Antonio is an exceptional guide for this tour. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, willing to answer all questions, and is super friendly. We even stopped at a site along the way to observe the hundred nesting white storks. It was a truly enjoyable day and I would highly recommend this tour to appreciate more about the Algarve region.

Absolutely loved our half day trip around Lagos. Our Captain and the guide were so lovely and the sights that you see are just gorgeous. We were a group of 12 women on a Hen and the guide was so attentive to us and lots of drinks were flowing. The food was really tasty as well! Couldn’t have looked after us better including spraying our gorgeous Hen with a bottle of bubbles!! Thanks so much for a brilliant day on the ocean.

We went on a relaxing ride along the coast of lagos and our guide pointed out various things. She was excellent and discussed history and fun facts. They took us to a nearby bay for lunch as the water was a bit rocky and they didn’t want us to get seasick. There we went swimming and paddle boarding.

The tour was perfect! We thought about booking for a long time but it was very worthwhile and we would do it again. Thanks very much! :)

Antonio is a great guide . Super friendly and knowledgeable
