        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.

        Fantastic Fun and Educational tour
        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.

        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!

        Best tour by far
        Love! Love! Love! This was one of my favorite trips so far. Our tour quite was so much fun and took us to all the best places. Monchique was beautiful and the alkaline water was the best discovery. We would absolutely book this tour again and again. 10/10

        Wine tour of Silves and Monchique.
        António was amazingly knowledgeable and likeable.We never felt rushed or overwhelmed by all the information. He patiently showed us many of the fruit producing trees and explained how the cork is harvested from the trees. We were treated to castles and cathedrals and gorgeous views. The end of the trip to Silvas and Monchique was a special tour. The wine tasting put everyone in an excellent mood. Thank you António I would rate your tour a 10 out of 10.

        Lagos Wine tour
        We enjoyed this wine tour as a group of six. Antonio our driver was excellent from booking the tour and also during the tour.Our first stop was at Silves castle which was very interesting. We then set of to the winery and to sample some wine. Once again Antonio had an excellent knowledge of the wine and we went on to purchase some wine to take home. Antonia then took us down into the vats and bottling area and explained the process from start to finish. This was an excellent tour with an excellent tour guide. Would definitely recommend this tour.

        Montique Half Day Tour
        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.

        Great expeience of inland Algarve
        Very enjoyable trip, very relaxed with plenty to see, and a decent amount of time to explore. Antonio is very knowledgeable and considerate, helping us avoid busy times for lunch, and advising on good eating spots. We felt we saw and experienced a range of inland attractions at the Algarve, with good company, and finished with good wines. A very pleasant day out.

        Relaxed day excursion
        Excellent trip. Very relaxed, comfortable minibus. Antonia is very knowledgeable and friendly. The timings were very good, and we missed the lunchtime crowd. Gret to see other villages and inland scenery.

        A Toast to this Tour!
        From the minute we got in the van until the minute we were dropped off, Antonio could not have been more charming, interesting and fun. It was a great tour with a surprise stop in Silves which turned out to be a highlight! The wines we tasted were excellent and Antonio’s explanation of the wine making process was exceptionally good!! We would definitely do a tour with Antonio again. 10 stars out of five!!!

        Very good tour
        Very good tour. Recommended. The easiest way to go to Sagres Fortress and Cape St Vincent. Sagress Fortress is beautiful and historical, while Cape St Vincent a bit dissappinting because the lighthouse is not clearly visible, it is behind a building. Antonio gave us a bonus by visiting a beautiful cliff on a beaten track.

      Highly recommend this tour! Spectacular views made my trip memorable. It’s worth it for me travelling all the way from Lisbon down to Lagos. Antonio is professional and shared with us a lot of interesting information. I can feel the reviews that I saw prior to joining are so true!

      Antonio was very friendly. Kept us talking on the ride and was waiting when we returned from the tour. He was so kind as to bring his van to a closer location for our auntie who has some mobility issues. He sat with her and conversed while we enjoyed the area.

      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.

      We had a wonderful tour with Antonio! He is very knowledgeable of the area and gave great recommendations for local restaurants and other activities.

      It was a lovely drive to Carvoeiro. The boardwalk and views from the rocks were beautiful. We absolutely loved the boat tour to the caves as well! This tour is a must do...highly recommend.

      This was our second tour with Antonio and we enjoyed it as much as the first. Antonio picked us up at our Air Bnb rental for the drive to Portimão where we were to take the boat tour to see the caves. On the drive there, we mentioned that we were looking for some items for Christmas and he suggested we may have some options after the boat tour. Before going to the harbour for the boat, we stopped so that Antonio could show use the beach area, which is quite impressive, there were very few people, being December, but in the summer the beach in a sea of umbrellas. Portimão is a big town, lots of large rental properties and malls; glad we decided to stay in Lagos. Antonio used Carvoeiro Tours for our boat trip, It was about a 10 person max boat, there were 5 of us plus the captain Bruno and the guide. Using a small boat, allowed us to get into some of the small caves, that other boats cannot. The trip was excellent, very exciting going into the caves and some humorous commentary from our guide. As a bonus, we saw a dolphin on the way back and followed it for a few minutes. After the boat, we decided to forego the walk along the cliffs (we had seen the shoreline already from the water and are staying right beside Praia da Dona Ana in Lagos, which has a km of raised walkway along the cliffs there). During the freed-up time, Antonio took us to a British grocery store, so we could pick up the ingredients for our Christmas breakfast and dinner and to a large store that sold Christmas decorations so we could get a few things for the apartment. He then gave us a tour through the old town and along the water in Alvor, before heading back. Another great day with Antonio and we really appreciated his flexibility to adjust our time with him to fit our needs. Thanks Antonio!

      Antonio was super generous and showed us an amazing time taking us to beautiful spots on the beach (instagram worthy). Definitely worth doing this with him since he’s knowledgeable and friendly! We went to the Benagil cave afterwards and that was also very worth it! I am grateful for this experience and would love to go again in the future.
