It was an amazing tour, with all the different spots to see. Lots of fantastic views, where we were able to take awesome pics! Our guide, Claire was the best!!!! Fun, very entertaining and so nice! Would definitly book again!
5Fantastic!
Highly recommend this excursion. We had a fantastic day with Claire, she took us to see beautiful places and was so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Claire even sent us pictures she had taken on WhatsApp after the trip which was a really nice touch.
5THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING TOUR!!!
We had such a lovely time exploring the benagil caves. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and we enjoyed ourselves so much. Everyone involved in the trip was amazing and communicated well with us. Special shout out to our tour guide Sebastian who is an asset to Algarve sensation. He was so welcoming, polite and gave us all the history we needed to know. He went above and beyond for us and took beautiful pictures of the scenery and the group of us and sent them to us. Also want to mention the boat drivers Pino and Dhino who were so funny and informative. THANK YOU SO MUCH :)
5Amazing trip
We had an amazing tour with Claire! She explained everything well and took beautiful pictures of us. Duration time was great as well, Claire borrowed us some beach umbrellas and we really enjoyed our trip :)
5Easy Hike, great alternate
As an alternative to the boat tour, the hike was quite enjoyable and easy. Claire, our guide, ensured that we had an amazing time. She skillfully navigated through the crowd and ensured that we had the best views. Her extensive knowledge of the local vegetation provided us with valuable insights into the area’s ecology. If the seas are rough during your visit, I highly recommend taking this route to see the Benagil.
5Fabulous day out
Claire was a fantastic guide and highly recommend this tour. She did her best to ensure we saw sites, taught us some history of each area and kept us to a reasonable time line. She even helped take pictures when I couldn't get to myself. Claire even had umbrellas and snorkel equipment to use at the beach.

About Faro
Faro is the capital of Portugal's Algarve, a small walled old town beside the Ria Formosa lagoon, with sandy barrier islands a short boat ride away.
Faro is built around a marina and an old town enclosed by walls, entered through the neoclassical Arco da Vila. Inside, quiet lanes lead to the cathedral and to the Carmo Church, whose Chapel of Bones is lined with the skulls and bones of monks. The city feels more local than the resorts along the coast.
Top-ranked sights in Faro: Ilha do Farol, Barreta Island (Ilha Deserta), Arco da Vila.
