What people are saying about Tavira

This was the perfect activity to do with my 80 year old mom who gets around pretty slowly and can't walk too far without getting tired. She was visiting from the US and we wanted to show her around Tavira. Our guide was wonderful and did a great job showing us the sights and describing the rich history of the town. The tour also included a visit to the salt pans where we got to see workers skimming of the fleur de sel and learn about the ancient practice.

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.

Visit of Tavira with 3 children from 4 to 12 years old: everyone had a great time!!! We were happy to have a French guide who perfectly mastered her subject. The visit is punctuated by moments of free visit, very pleasant to stretch your legs. It's a brilliant way to discover the city and its secrets in comfort.

Very enjoyable experience learning about Tavira on a tuk tuk ☺️ The stop at the salt flats was awesome! If you want to learn more about Tavira while there- Maria’s Tuk Tuk is where it’s at. Thank you João!

Lovely way to get around. Guide was friendly and informative
