- T9446WAandrewl0 contributionsTuk Tuk TaviraGreat experience, great guide, very informative. Our guide blended history, culture, tradition, the environment, the importance of both flora and fauna, myths and legend. A great way to see the town and learn. Then go back and visit places of interest. Oh and the chocolates are divine 😋 😋😋Written October 23, 2024
- Mediterranean20200 contributionsBest tour experience of Tavira! Do not miss!Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! Do not miss! Thank you Joao for the most amazing experience, your family business is exceptional. This tour is a must do. You get your own tour guide and the trip on a electric tuk tuk. My husband and I really enjoyed this experience, it allows you to see the main spots in Tavira and to discover the art and culture of this extraordinary town. Joao is from Tavira and he knows the story inside out. It's a friendly, exclusive way to discover Tavira. 110% recommended! After the tour we were taken to a beautiful tapas bar for a set menu with wine. Ti Maria restaurant was exceptional. Best tour in town!Written October 22, 2024
- EurogirlBelgium0 contributionsA really fun and interesting thing to do.This was a brilliant trip. We got picked up at our hotel and the guide was first class, full of really interesting stories as we went along. He spotted flamingos and stopped so we could get out and see them. The nature part was so good. On the city part, he was so engaging and really brought to life the history of the city and its buildings. The chocolate stop was fun too, although sadly they weren’t making any on a Monday morning. Fab chocolate though! The tuk tuk itself was great fun - take a cardigan in the autumn, it got a bit chilly on the road back from 4 Aquas. We’d like to do another one next time we come to Tavira - maybe the Santa Luzia one….Written October 10, 2024

Joao was an absolute gem of a tour guide. He showed up in a spotless open air jeep for our tour. He went out of his way to attend to our needs and customized the time we had together. He shared his extensive knowledge of the area in an easy going manner. Thank you for the great taste of this beautiful place!

We did the booking online the same day on the company website. Didn’t get e time and meeting place. But when we called to ask when and where, we were picked up 15 minutes later in the centre of Tavira.
The tour was great and a good way to see some of surrounding areas with out getting into a car.

Maria's Tuk Tuk tries to respond to the customer as soon as possible, it is part of our service.
The tour was carried out with the main objective to develop unique moments of interaction with nature and to know the traditional methods of fishing for octopus. We were very pleased to receive your review, I hope you are well, thank you

Santa Luzia (of Tavira) is a very beautiful land with a special luminosity. Whoever sees the boat that transports the holidaymakers to Praia da Terra Estreita or the train that transports the people to Praia do Barril, sees a long cluster of profile white houses, overlooking the waters of one of the arms of the beautiful river. There are no high buildings, of those we are used to in other locations in Algarve. Its white casario is uniform and fits the landscape perfectly, whether the waters are low leaving the sappays in sight, or the waters are high, forming an extraordinary mirror of water to lose sight.

This experience is not to be missed if you are visiting Tavira. Fantastic guide who is knowledgeable and funny, and is so passionate about the area. It was like a behind the scenes tour, cultural and informative and a comedy show all in one. Highlight of our holiday.
