        Fun and informative.
        Excellent half day tour with Excellent local knowledge delivered with humour provided by our guide and driver Ruy. Ruy obviously loved his job and showed this with his enthusiasm from the moment he picked us up at our hotel until he dropped us back. Must also complement him on is photographic skills as we had many exceptional photos taken by him which were always better than our selfies. Highly recommended.

        Great Sierra trip
        We took jeep tour into the Monchique Sierra using the side and logging roads [Nature Tours ?]. Fabulous. Pristine forest, isolated farmhouses and homes, olive and cork orchards, yellow and white [Esteva] flowered bushes everywhere. Steep winding roads up to Monchique and then to the top [3000 feet] where there is a NATO com centre and a 360 degree panorama to the coast and the sierra.

        Rugged countryside, beautiful vistas, great stop overs with drivers’ commentary and information. Nearby church was awesome, worth the walk uphill!

        Last day holiday trip
        Really enjoyed the trip with Renato,he pieced together the old & new of Albufeira,it's not just bars & restaurants,there's lot's to learn if you're interested.I have visited twice and learnt far more about the Eastern side of Albufeira. It's a bumpy ride,the vehicle can hold 6 but there was only 2 of us,so we had plenty of room.

        Great Experience
        We really enjoyed the three hours on this tour. Our guide, Renato was extremely knowledgeable and as it turned out we had him all to ourselves. Having the opportunity to see the tourist area and compare it to the old town was excellent. And experiencing the five beaches and the lagoon area at our pace was really enjoyable. We could explore at our leisure and enjoy how the topography was different along the coast. Highly recommend, this well paced, informative open air tour to get a taste of Albufeira.

        Amazing experience with stunning views!
        This trip was worth every penny! We had such an amazing time. I highly recommend doing this tour. We started off with a tour of Albufeira town, our guide was so knowledgable about the area and was fascinating to listen to. Then we headed to the marina and up to an amazing vantage point where the views were stunning. We then went onwards to several beautiful beaches. They were stunning and we wouldn’t have found them without going on this tour. Our final destination was a nature reserve leading onto a beach where you could see local wildlife and beautiful sand dunes. The jeep ride was excellent and we felt very safe and were well looked after. It was amazing to do the tour in the open top jeep as the views were undisturbed. Absolutely amazing experience. Take a bottle of water and a sun hat with you and you’ll have a fantastic time. Thank you for such a super experience! I cannot recommend this enough!

        UMM Jeep Tour of Albufeira!
        Awesome 3 hour tour in an UMM Jeep with Roy, who was simply fantastic! Roy drives you all over the coastline and through Albufeiria showing you the sights and giving you some local history. Some of the views up on the cliffs are spectacular! Do yourself a favor and book a UMM Jeep tour with Roy, you will not be disappointed!

        Amazing experience!
        A fantastic tour and a great guide (Rui)!. I would recommend this to everyone visiting Albufeira. It’s a great way to learn about new places, beaches, coastlines and the old town. As a family we enjoyed it very much and took many photos of all the lovely locations. Just amazing!!

        Amazing little 3 hour trip
        We loved this trip so much 8 of us went on my 40th birthday the jeeps were something different and really fun the 2 drivers /guides were great and the scenery is spectacular. the lagoon at the end is a real show stopper as is the sunset over the cliffs. The price was really reasonable too.

        Unforgettable experience, off roading, local foods
        We went on our keep tour on 2nd of April and I believe of your guide was called ‘Roy’ apologies if this is incorrect! From start to finish it was amazing. He arrived early, and we set off straight away, stopping many times to our first destination to learn about different trees and fruits. We ate many fruits straight from the tree ( an amazing and delicious experience). We visited a windmill where we were shown round by ‘luis’ who had amazing knowledge about the place. We stopped at castles, local villages, tried local foods such as honey, fire water, Olivia’s and much more. Our guide took so many amazing photos for us, which made our day even more memorable as we had got engaged the previous night! We spent a lot of time ‘off roading’ on private lane, where we could stand up on the back of the jeep! I highly recommend this tour, it takes roughly 4 hours. A great way to learn more about the area and get out of the crowds.

      Wow! What an in-depth learning experience and amazing adventure this was! The age range was 3-46 for the 6 of us and everyone was happy with the whole endeavor. Our guide, Roy, was very patient, caring, and gentle; allowing the kids to be kids and showing us the little details only a true local would know. He knew everyone and everything! We got to smell, touch, taste, and see the region from a local perspective. 10 Stars!

      Had a great afternoon out that was worth every penny picked us up from Be live Palmeiras, the driver was very friendly and had lots of knowledge about the area and took us to some amazing places that you probably would never find. Lots of little quaint villages, last stop was up in the mountains with a beautiful fresh water pool ( unfortunately doesn't open till 1st june) due to covid !!! Lack of tourist...
      Even mat Baltazar the huge local donkey. It was just me and my husband on the trip but would be great for anyone. Worth every penny and highly recommended 5 🌟.

      What an amazing experience, I highly recommend it. We went on as a family of 4, children aged 10 and 6, and we all loved it. Roy, our guide, was so knowledgeable and so helpful and friendly. We saw things we would never have seen on our own. I would definitely recommend a good jacket as it can get cold in the back and make sure you take cash with you as the little villages don’t take card. Would definitely do it again!

      We had a fantastic tour in the first week of May. Our tour guide showed us the beauty of rural Portugal, and gave us great information about the local flora. We picked orange and lemon straight from the tree, learnt about cork and almond; it was very interesting. It was also great to go to an authentic Portuguese village and visit a lovely little cafe and fruit shop, where we also sampled firewater! Some fun moments too stood up in the jeep driving through puddles and some rocky ground. The only negative is that depending where you’re sat in the jeep , you can’t always hear what the driver is saying. Would definitely recommend.

      The tour guide was enthusiastic, funny and really knowledgeable which made the experience that extra bit enjoyable. However, the jeep was very cramped and meant me and my partner had to sit separate throughout the day. Although this can’t be helped, as it was raining we couldn’t do a lot of what would normally happen on the tour which was disappointing. None the less, it was a really fun experience and would definitely recommend to others.

      I booked the half day morning jeep tour as a surprise for the boyfriend. I am an anxious person and Sergio made us feel comfortable straight away!

      They confirmed the collection time from our hotel the evening before, and they arrived to collect us on time.

      We got to explore so much in 4 hours… the castle, the windmill, the local town and the natural stream… all truly beautiful and we are so glad we got to have this experience.

      The only thing that I was a little disappointed about - We got to see so many olive and orange groves during the tour and I was so excited to try a freshly picked orange (as others have reviewed on here) but on our tour we didn’t get to pick/ have a fresh orange :(

      We recommend taking some cash with you, as no card payments accepted. You may wish to get a drink, some fresh fruit, honey etc. there are also toilets at two of the tour stops.

      We both think the tour is great fun, the right amount of time in each location to explore lots of places in a short time frame and well worth the money…. Highly recommend!

      Thank you for a wonderful time :)

      This was an amazing experience for a group of 5 friends, we saw beautiful places with THE BEST tour guide. shout out to Rui morais, polite and well informed, really made us feel like family. He really made the morning wonderful as we saw historic sights ,orange plantations, historic villages, beautiful waterfall and landscape. I would spend £100 and be still more then satisfied. See you next year !

      Would highly recommend this experience! Our guide was so lovely and made sure we were looked after. Although the castle was under construction he showed us where we could go to get a good view of the inside. We then went to the windmill where another guide showed us all the parts and how it worked.
      Visiting a small village, we tried the honey and local liquor which was delicious. We then explored a church and ended up off road going through fields of orange trees and finally ended up at this beautiful spring. Unfortunately the water was too green to swim in so to 'make up for it' our guide extended the tour and took us off road again. I would definitely go on this tour again!

      Good value for money tour, with a good humoured knowledgeable guide.
      It is a bit of a whistle stop tour as its only 4 hours long but it was nice to get out and about and see all of the different fruit trees etc, with a lovely stop at Fonte grande alte where you can paddle or swim in the cooling river water. There are also good toilet facilities and a shop selling drinks and ice creams etc.
      We also stopped at a church with a nice shop opposite selling local produce at very reasonable prices. (No pushy sales tactics, just a very kind lady owner) We bought 3 x 500g jars of honey at €7 each, which for a locally produced honey is a bargain if you ask me! We both had a great time.
      My only minor complaint was that as we were sitting at the back of the jeep we struggled a bit to hear the guides commentary.

      The jeep safari tour was a brilliant day out. Ricardo the tour guide was very knowledgeable,friendly and patient

      We saw all the wonderful sites but did not get to see the waterfalls due to current restrictions. However we still enjoyed the seeing the country side and trying out some local drinks.
