          Best day in Algave!
          Best wine tour i’ve attended! We were guided by Rui and we had such a fun and informational day. Our best day in Lagos all thanks to Rui! We learned about wine, but also about the Algave region and it’s great biodiversity and history! You should 100% book this tour.

          Sightseeing, History and Wine tasting.
          Great Day out, office kept us up to date with pick up time right up to arrival which was on time. Margarida, our Driver and Guide was absolutely superb. Fantastic knowledge, great driver and a lovely person. Never been on this kind of trip before and have been to Lagos several times but if all are as professional and interesting and you're lucky enough to have someone like Margarida to be your leader then what a fantastic day and company.

          Such fun!
          What a great tour! It was the perfect balance of walking a learning about the area and spending time on the water seeing the caves. Great morning. Definitely, enjoyable for the whole family. I apologize that I don’t remember the name of our guide but she was fantastic. She was from Lagos and had great knowledge of the Algarve.

          Rui Fantastic Wine Tour Guide
          Our guide Rui was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, providing excellent service. The vineyard was beautiful, and all the wines we tasted were delicious. Small group of 7 people made it an intimate fun experience. Wish we had more time to stop in Silves, but that was also a great small city to visit. Highly recommended for a half day trip!

          Beautiful coastal scenery!
          We saw all the best sites along coast including cape St Vincent Lighthouse, top beaches, Sagres, and good food. Our guide was a great help explaining areas and since he lived in Philly back in the day he spoke great English.

          We had a wonderful afternoon on this tour. Rui was the most friendly and knowledgeable tour guide who went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great time. The wines were great, we kept on schedule and always felt very safe. Rui made our day such fun! Highly recommend.

          Canceled the trip on us but we saw them still go on the trip so we must have been overbooked and booted. Do yourself a favor and avoid profit seekers instead of memory makers

          Great visit to the wild west coast!
          The tour was excellent. The guide (Rui) was friendly and professional. He gave the group lots of interesting information about the different sites and villages that we visited. He drove very safely too. The coastal landscape was very rugged and amazingly beautiful. I'm glad I brought an extra jacket because it was windy! Definitely worth the money.

          Benagil Caves
          I chose to go on this tour as I have been with South Explorers before and I trusted that it would be well organised. As someone who doesn’t have a great affinity with water, boats, cliffs and caves, I found it very enjoyable. It was a bit tough on my short legs going up and down the steps on the coastal walk but well worth it for the experience and views. Thank you António for another splendid outing.

          Perfect day trip from Lagos
          Awesome half day trip to the beautiful town of Selves and then to a lovely winery! Scenes were fantastic, wine was delicious and our guide Antonio was friendly, knowledgeable and fun! I only wish it lasted longer :) would definitely recommend this for a casual afternoon trip from Lagos to enjoy the surrounding algarve!

        Are you looking for a good tour guide for in the South of the Algarve? Well, look up Antonio!

        Antonio is an great tour guide who is very knowledgable about the surrounding and all it has to offer, such as the history, culture and culinary, among other aspects. He is very friendly and ready to let you go and explore the souvinier shops and chitchat with the locals. We really enjoy our trip, he shows a lot of passion for his job and a lot of energy from start till the end of the trip.

        A fantastic half day tour. Our guide Antonio was very knowledgeable and answered our many questions and gave excellent advice. The itinerary was perfect with great views of the Algarve from it's highest point. The stops at the spa town a d Montique were special. We would highly recommend this tour and this company.

        I really enjoyed my day with our guide Antnio for this visit at Silves and Monchique ending with a great wine tasting experience. I learned a lot about this less known part of Portugal which mots tourists miss. Quite an enjoyable day in nature. I got to see stark nests, cork and eucalyptus trees, many flowers and the top of the Monchique Mountain as well as its natural water source used by a spa. The castle in Silves is impressive with its red bricks.

        Great day trip with our wonderful Guide Antonio from Southern Explorers. A special visit to a spa town and to Montique. The views from the highest point on the Algarve was spectacular. You could see from Faro to Cape St. Vincente.

        Knowledgeable tour/driver guide brought us to Historical Silves and Monchique then to the highest point in Southern Portugal, finishing at a small private winery for tasting and tour. Wonderful mix of history, landscapes and pleasant time spent with the others on the tour.

        Me and my partner were very pleased with this tour, and would defiantly recommend it for anyone who likes siteseeing.
        It would be great for anyone, people in groups or even if you are traveling by yourself.
        I am also very glad I had my camera with me that day.

        Antonio was a very good guide who knew a lot of information about each place we visited and was very friendly as well.
