Unstoppable Tours
We had a wonderful trip to the Algarve region. I highly recommend the 90 minute boat trip to really see the beauty of the shoreline and experience the caves.

Great trip and guide
We had a great trip. Because of the weather, we could not enter Bengal or other caves by boat, but our Guide Enamul went out of his way to take us to traditional spots to make up for it. He also added his expertise as a professional photographer and. Took amazing pictures. I would highly recommend the trip and Enamul

Private Drive to Algarve
We had a great experience with our private driver for our day trip from Lisbon to the Algarve. He was personable, easygoing, and absolutely hilarious with my husband, the two of them talked and laughed most of the drive while I happily sat back and enjoyed the ride! 😂 I still don’t know how he makes that long drive to the Algarve and back so often! He showed us around, walked through some of the caves with us, helped us get some great photos, and gave us time to relax at the beach for about an hour without making the day feel rushed. We also stopped for lunch. The restaurant itself wasn’t necessarily my favorite in terms of the menu and pricing, but the food was fresh, and the potatoes and fried sardines I ordered were phenomenal! We also got to try Portuguese green wine, which, as we learned, isn’t actually green; and my husband really enjoyed his steak. The boat trip was also fun minus the chilly wind. Bring a jacket! BUT so glad our driver got us to the front two seats. Most importantly, we had a fun day, felt well taken care of, and made it safely to the Algarve and back to Lisbon. I would absolutely recommend this company, and if we return to Portugal, I would happily book with them again!

Our favorite tour of our trip!
We took the private day trip tour to the Algarve region with our tour guide Enam. We had such an amazing time the entire day. Pick up was right at our hotel and from the start our guide was warm and inviting, answering any of our questions and teaching us about Portugal and the sites. After a break at a rest stop for some coffee we went to our boat tour which was sensational. The only unfortunate part was the sea conditions that day didn’t allow us to go into the caves, but the views from the boat and the explanations from the captain were amazing. We then went for the most peaceful lunch at a local restaurant. The food was great and the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing. Our guide really knew the right spot to take us! We then went to see some beautiful sight seeing locations in the cliffs for scenic views and pictures, and Enam is amazing with a camera! We laughed the whole day and had such an amazing time. We even got to go down to one of the beaches for a bit and put our feet in the water! It was an awesome tour with a great guide and we highly recommend them for a beautiful day by the beaches.

I’m also happy you enjoyed the local restaurant and the scenic stops for photos — creating great memories is always our goal on every private tour in Portugal.
