“I usually do not write reviews, even less when it already has a perfect score, but Antonio is fantastic, and the tour was the gem during my visit to the Algarve region. The guide is knowledgeable, warm, and kind. He knows everything about his region and the areas that this tour goes to. It is long, almost 3 hours, but worth every minute.”

Private half-day boat tour in Ria Formosa from Faro, stopping at Deserta and Farol islands for views, village time, and snorkeling masks.
“El tour fue muy temprano y para cuando llegamos a la isla no hacía tiempo para bañarse porq lo que no pudimos aprovechar para hacer snorkel. En la primera parada nos dejaron en la isla con la opción de pasear y con una gafas para bucear (sin tubo) por si queríamos hacer snorkel. En la segunda parada, tuvimos una hora para pasear y visitar el pueblo. Por lo demás, Filip fue muy majo y agradable. Puede que el tour sea un poco caro para lo que ofrece.”
