“We were lucky to have the boat just for the four of us and were able to leave as soon as we arrived. The fisherman’s village is very charming and we had a refreshing swim at the beach. The guide is very friendly and knowledgeable. We visited at high tide so we could not see the oyster pits etc. If you book you might want to consider to book during low tides.”

Si je n'avais pas réservé ce tour en vélo, je n'aurais jamais pu apprécier ce côté de Ria Formosa: le quinto de lago!! Magnifique!! Petite pause fraîcheur en terrasse à la plage de Faro (même si une bouteille d'eau est offerte au départ de la visite). Je recommande”
