Had a great day with Jaoa. He was very knowledgeable and informative. We had a lovely cruise around the islands and lagoon south of Faro.

Ride with Joao

Joao, our guide was great. He provided exciting details of the islands and the portugal way of life. He even let my daughter sit in his seat for a minute.

Great christmas experience

Very nice tour. Even though the weather wasn’t the best we had great time. Oscar was a really good captain, he told us great stories about all the islands. Strongly recommend this tour.
