We booked a tour, may husband, sister and I, we were greeted by a very funny and friendly guide, Ricardo, who explained everything to us and let us know the plan for the day, introduced all guests to each other and was super considerate to us all which was really nice, we had a little hiccup where our boat stopped working but they got us another one and swapped us over no drama at all, he was very informative and worked very hard to give us all historical information and kept it flowing and interesting, we were then dropped back to Ferragudo for half hour, just enough time to relax and have a drink, then Ricardo was back to pick us up for the keep ride! That was fabulous! Some crazy off roading to get our hearts racing and some beautiful scenic stops to learn about the Monchique mountains, the plants and the culture, we stopped off at a cute little traditional honey and medronho making farm where we learned some more history and got to try some traditional Portuguese wares and buy some too, we then went to a traditional restaurant and had a superb traditional 3 course meal with wine and water, the whole thing far surpassed all of our expectations!! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an action packed full day of learning about truly important Portuguese history and facts!! This has to be the best tour operator yet I think!!
