- Awfa910 contributionsVery enjoyable tourJoining this tour was the best thing that we did on the whole trip! The spots we visited were mostly unavailable by public transport. We got to see some of the most beautiful beaches from various places, we swam into the cave, and got to spend some time on the beach, sunbathing and relaxing. We also got to make new friends with the fellow travelers. Juliana, our guide, was phenomenal! She explained everything, was really patient while we took countless pictures, helped us swim to the cave and gave us some time to be on our own on the beach in between the stop. Fun tour. Amazing guide. Perfect day!Written 30 August 2022

Solo traveler here, excellent experience.
1. Started on time at 9:30, ended by 5pm.
2. Tour was in 2 groups of 8-9 in a well air conditioned mini bus with windows.
Tour guides were Vince (might have spelt the name wrong) and Bianca. Very professional and beach ready with good vibes. There were a mixture of young and older couples and they made everyone feel included regardless of age or race.
3. INSTAGRAM PHOTO READY, Tour guides were the best photographers hands down.
4. Stopped at 3 locations total but one of the locations we went on the beach and took a hike, one was good for the people that love to dive with a cave like natural pool, one was mostly walking and taking pictures.
5. I repeat, good vibes!!!! Bring sneakers, bathing suit, sandals (for the beach), beach towel if you want to dip.
6. One location is 3 hours that give time for the beach, restaurant fine dining 15-30 euro per person depending on your choice of food and restaurant.
I’m heavy set and the walking was not too much for me

We took this trip in November, so it was very quiet. In fact, we were the only two. Our guide was João and he was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge was excellent, and he showed us all the best spots to take pictures. The views are spectacular, and we were able to take our time while he took many photos for us. We had a two hour stop for a relaxing lunch before exploring the rest of the cliffs and caves. I would highly recommend this trip as it's well worth the money, just make sure you wear trainers or appropriate footwear

Our guide Vinny was the star of the show today, running every aspect of the tour so professionally and helping with tips, photos, info and little gentlemanly touches. Benagil and the surrounding cliffs are unmissable if you are visiting Faro and I strongly recommend this tour. It’s not too physically demanding and if you appreciate beautiful scenery you would be mad to miss this.

You can tell our guide Vinny enjoys what he does because he was enthusiastic showing us the majestic sights. He was also very considerate of our age and lent us a guiding hand whenever the terrain was challenging. We thoroughly enjoyed our day.

The tour was totally worth it, we were with 8 people plus our tour guide Bianca and had a perfect mix of walking/hiking, enjoying the great view and taking breaks! Bianca was super friendly and gave us lots of exciting information about the landscape and culture and offered to take photos of us several times! She also showed us more remote corners that we wouldn't have found on our own. 10/10!

An unforgettable tour! If you're traveling solo would definitely recommend this as it gives you an opportunity to interact with others while seeing great views and learning more about the locations. Despite the rainy and windy weather conditions, Bianca was an amazing tour guide and made the experience so much better. You get enough time to explore the places and the history behind it.
It is a full day tour so make sure to come prepared for the weather and during the stops you're given time to buy food and eat at nearby restaurants.
Thank you for this experience :)

Our tour was very enjoyable and fun.
Simao had so many fun facts and interesting story's to tell but always let us enjoy the tour on our own pace to make an authentic experience. He even waited for us and made sure everyone was there although we were late. I really recommend it especially if you don't want to go in larger groups as it can be very tiring. He provided us with some inside information and spots that aren't crowded and that's why you could get the best of Algarve's nicest views.

A beautiful and versatile tour, with interesting stops! The tour guide was very sympathetic and conveyed exciting anecdotes about the region in an authentic way. You get a good impression of the unique landscape of the Algarve. Even the lunch break in Carvoeiro was very pleasant, whether a visit to the restaurant, a cafe or a swim in the sea, no wish came up short :)

This road tour is very well organised and our guide Juliana was kind, fun, entertaining and made our day great, took a lot of pictures and gave us nice insights about the stunning nature surrounding us.
The tour is suited for people who can walk and swim at ease. Juliana provides floaties and makes everyone feel comfortable at safe at all times.
It starts with a 1hr drive followed by a breathtaking small trail on wonderful cliffs with panorama. After a quick drive to the beach, we had a short swim to the famous and beautiful Benagil cave. We then drive to the town of Carvoeiro where we had 2.5 hrs to ourselves of free time, perfect to have some food, explore the town, sleep on the beach. We concluded our day at Algar Seco where we had one last dive+swim in incredible natural pools.
Reccommended!

Hi, I have a question for the full day tour, I love the fact that we can depart from Faro, but we would like to stay at our last stop, since our hotel is near the 5th stop. Would that be possible?

I just did this tour last week and it was amazing! You will love it! To answer your question, there's no problem staying at your last stop. You are responsible for yourself.

Hi, I am looking to book this tour for 10/05/23. Weather looks great.
When we arrive at the Benagil caves, are we able to go down inside the cave to see it up close ?
Are there walking routes that lead us down there?

You will swim there with the tour guide using a float (5-minute swim).

Can we swim anytime on this tour. We are looking to book March 31. Do you get to get out at the benágil caves?
Written 26 March 2023
We didn't swim because it was too cold. Our guide said in the summer season they do usually swim but I don't know if March 31st is considered the summer season yet.
