“If I was rating the guide and safari itself, it would have been 5*. However the itinerary as shown did not match the itinerary on the day, which was not an issue and trip was still thoroughly enjoyable, but not entirely what was advertised. Other than that, both children and I had a great time.”

“Lots of little stops to talk about flora and fauna, great country side, little bit of rough terrain which is fun, so much knowledge from our guide Thomas, he made it fun, great view stop offs. Great tasting at the distillery and lunch was eaten (chicken chips and salad, soup starter and fruit salad for dessert. ) lovely to see all the wonderful landscape with the vast agricultural produce.

Review of Albufeira’s half-day jeep safari, with Alte, Paderne, farm tastings, off-road tracks, views, prices, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Overall a great activity, and our guide was lovely, informative and didn’t make us feel rushed at any point. However, the trip wasn’t as the itinerary online led us to believe. No where had I seen that it could or had been changed. You can no longer visit the castle, which was disappointing and the cork reserves were missed off too. The animal park was a handful of ducks, goats, and pig and a pony. We did visit a beautiful waterfall which was worth the trip, and possibly the switch for the castle/ cork reserves, but that had 173 steps down (and back up) which was hard going and impossible…”

The ride was safe and fun and the sunset beautiful. I think we had the best guide hands down.”
