Peter’s knowledge & commentary was excellent. He did not overwhelm us with historical facts but painted a picture of the country, people & culture. He was very attentive to our needs and did not rush any of the stops. He is a safe driver & the ride was very comfortable. A great tour!

Our recent Algarve vacation took a delightful turn thanks to a day trip booked through Hotel Auramar and run by the fantastic Portitours company. From pickup at the hotel to drop-off in the early evening, it was a seamless and unforgettable experience. The star of the show, however, was our guide, Vasco. His passion for the Algarve was contagious, and his knowledge of the region's history, culture, and hidden gems was truly impressive. He expertly weaved together historic lessons about cork trees, the development of the Algarve, and fascinating local stories, making every sight come alive. The day wasn't just about enriching our minds, though. Vasco took us on a breathtaking journey through the heart of the Algarve. We explored charming villages, marveled at stunning coastal views, and even ventured into the mountains. A particularly delightful stop was a chance to savor some locally produced Aguardente – a true treat for our taste buds! We couldn't resist picking up a couple of bottles as souvenirs. Lunch was another highlight. We were treated to a phenomenal meal at a local restaurant, where the freshest, locally sourced ingredients danced on our plates. Each bite was a delicious testament to the culinary magic of the Algarve. By the end of the day, we returned to the hotel with hearts brimming with happy memories. We had not only explored breathtaking landscapes but also gained a deeper appreciation for the Algarve's rich history and culture. A huge thank you to Vasco at Portitours, whose expertise and enthusiasm made it a truly magical day for our whole family. We highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and delicious way to discover the Algarve's hidden gems!
