What people are saying about Tavira

Fantastic day exploring the beautiful countryside of the Algarve. Our guide was Domenica and driver was Paulino and both could not have been more accommodating and ensured the day ran smoothly. Very professional and well-run tour. Definitely one of the highlights of our holiday and would strongly recommend to any other tourists - also very reasonable at £40 per head for a full day’s tour.

João was heel informatief en vriendelijk. Hij heeft ons veel mooie plekjes laten zien. Overal waar we wilden konden we even uitstappen en rondkijken. Hij heeft ook nog wat leuke foto's van ons gemaakt. Wat een kennis heeft deze man over Tavira! En erg comfortable in de tuktuk. Met hoge temperaturen toch wat wind en je hoeft niet veel te lopen om veel te zien.

A really well organised day excursion. Ana, our guide was excellent with great knowledge of the area. She organised a lovely lunch at a local restaurant. The winery was delightful again with a very knowledge young man conducting the tour and tastings. Overall a fab day and excellent value.
