Our Market tour was changed to jeep Safari into Algarve Mountains. Our driver was George And he was excellent. Knowledgeable, humorous, entertaining and a careful driver. The half day trip covered a lot of territory and everyone in the group was well satisfied. We give the tour and the driver 5 stars!

The guide was fantastic and lovely. We did a short stop in silves at the castle and carried on to the winery where we tried all the wines. Loved it so much we bought a bottle!
