We cannot recommend this trip enough. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel to the time we were dropped off 8.5 hours later - we were so well taken care of. Our guides were so helpful, answering our many questions and giving us insight into the life and history of the Algarve. We saw so many places and had a wonderful lunch. Our guides Diego, Hugo and Tomas were kind and helpful - all being local they knew so much about the area. We had plenty of time to shop in different places, to stop for a cappucino, and mostly to see so many sights. Highly recommend everyone take this tour with this wonderful company!!

Breathtaking! This past weekend has been one of the most special experiences of our lives. It felt so free, so relaxed and the view was beautiful! Next time we will definitely go for 2 hours. The guide was nice and sweet, they also took us into account when we arrived a little later because it was a bit of a search. Tip: leave well in time. We will definitely come back to experience this again. In addition, they are very good and kind to the horses. And meanwhile they take photos and videos of you and send them later, which is very nice!

It was breathtakingly beautiful. Calm, obedient horses and accommodating staff. My only complaint was the guide did not speak English even though it’s described as an English speaking tour. It was difficult not being able to communicate with him. Overall a great experience though.

What a wonderful day with Antonio being the perfect guide! We went to beautiful beaches and saw breathtaking vistas along the western coast! Antonio’s knowledge of the area and sights was insightful and made our trip so much more interesting! Obrigada, Antonio!

Great trip with a really great guide. Was a great day. The west of the Algarve was varied and interesting. The guide explained a lot and catered to our needs. We felt very comfortable. Can recommend it.
