They were very engaging, funny, accommodating & taught us so much about the history all while showing us around the beautiful Benagil Cave, Marinha & Carvoeiro. The views were spectacular and our guides went above & beyond to help us understand each site, take pictures and give recommendations.

Such an amazing group of people alongside beautiful views. A+ tour - highly recommend. Would do it again.”

“We had a great day today exploring the Algarve region. Our driver/tour guide was Gherbin (a.k.a., Benny) and he was outstanding. His knowledge of the region and its multi-faceted history was prolific. Our stops included Silves (castle), Monchique (great panoramic view), Cape Saint Vincent (cliff views) and Lagos (great regional history museum and church). Benny knew all of the best places to take photos at each location, and so we did. He answered all of our questions with clear and concise answers; not just what happened, but also why. Benny is clearly a subject-matter expert regarding the histories of the Algarve region, Portugal and the Iberian peninsula. As we drove…”
