2hr Cork Safari in a Classical Land Rover

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Adventure yourself on an off-road journey through the Alentejo's "montado" (cork oak forest)! We offer you an option of driving tour, that will give you a wonderful overview of the forest as you plough through the dirt tracks of the farm. For those who have a passion for vintage cars, or simply a sense of history and adventure, you can opt for a tour in one of two 50-year-old Land Rovers, one an open top and the other a hard top. Your expert guides will stop at regular intervals to show you the highlights and explain in detail what makes the cork forest such an important and diverse ecosystem. Our guides, are guaranteed to enlighten (and entertain!) you at how little you knew about cork and its amazing properties!

• 3Awesome Guide and Concept - lacks content

  Ricardo was an awesome guide. He was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. The ride in the Landrover was a fun way to make us geel.like we were heading on adventure. The problem was that there wasn't much to see... a tree that had been stripped and the examples of cork layers with an explanation could have happened anywhere. When I booked a 2 hour tour and started seeing notes that it would be 1 - 2 hours, I should have clued in. I did not find it a good value for my money and therefore would not recommend it to others based on that. Suggestions: 1) Show the cork stripping video in the building where we met. Light and heat made that experience uncomfortable. 2) Actually take the group to an area that is being stripped if at all possible - or note ahead of time if that can't be done - I know tours need to be sold, but I was expecting this, and for the money I felt it was expensive to see things that I can see on the side of the road. 3) Provide some sort of trinket/momento of appreciation . Again, very expensive for what we got.

• 5Ricardo (#2) is the best tour guide!

  Great experience! Fun ride, nicely paced, very educational. The cork forests and vineyards are obviously well-cared for in a sustainable way by passionate stewards. Our guide Ricardo (#2) was charming and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

• 5Cork forest tour

  We had an incredible time on this tour. The scenery was beautiful and the information was very interesting. Our guide Ricardo, was very friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. Also funny. Also very patient but firm with the transmission of the vintage Land Rover. We will definitely recommend this experience to family and friends. Thank you.

• 2Bad Tour Program - Cork Safari

  The entire program is a disappointment even though the guide Daniel was engaging. We went on the Classical Land Rover tour on 31st May 2025. The weather was great but the tour lacks depth in terms of an immersive experience. There is no opportunity to use the cork axe, no opportunity to see different cork trees in different maturing stage. While it may be difficult to witness the actual harvest, no attempt was made to show a customised video of how cork is harvested and process in the past and how differently it is done today. The existing tour is actually a waste of precious time in your travel vacation. All the information that was shared could easily be obtained online, what is needed is an immersive experience which is not there in this tour.
