VW Camper Van Flavours Of The Algarve

Published on Sep, 2022

This was a fantastic trip. Our guide Pauli was so knowledgeable and friendly. We travelled on a beautiful VM camper van that has been decorated by a local artist. The trip was leisurely as we first went to Loule and saw several I interesting places and visited the market. Our guide purchased some items at the market for our picnic lunch. We were taken to a beautiful church perched on a hill and then given our picnic lunch which was amazing! We were then taken to a Local winery for some wine tasting all served with rustic bread and olive oil also produced by the winery. Great trip out and a fantastic way to see and sample the Algarve.

Published on Sep, 2021

Our tour guide and his partner were lovely and such a laugh. It just ended up being the 2 of us on the tour and we had a great time. The vineyard was beautiful and the wine is delicious. The farm was very interesting with the most amazing smells of all the herbs. We had a lovely picnic and they had made us delicious homemade buns. The VW van is amazing! I would definitely recommend this tour!
