Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Alessandra took us to local, hole in the wall spots that we never would have found on our own. The tour was made all the better by Alessandra’s warm and welcoming personality. This is one of the best things we did in the Algarve. Thank you so much for such a wonderful night!!"
"Our food tour of Faro was a delight. Alessandra was our guide and planned well. The stops were well chosen for location, decor and, of course, the food. The highlight was the finale - the wine tasting at Opus One. Pedro, the sommelier, was not only knowledgeable but also entertaining. It was, by far, the best wine tasting ever - not to be missed."
"We absolutely LOVED Alessandra! She was friendly, smart and kind. She took us to amazing places to try out the best Portuguese cuisine. Her choices were diverse and she included our input onto those choices. We enjoyed all of her well thought out foods! Highly recommend her as your choice for this tour. She k we the city very well and offered multiple options for sight seeing on our own. She was a delight!"
"We had a wonderful time with Alessandra. He took us to the most amazing places and we enjoyed the tastings. She was charming and had I interesting recommendations for our trip. Thank you Alessandra. "
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Faro, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Faro spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Faro.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Faro, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Faro awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Faro, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Faro. Get ready to explore like a local!

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Alessandra as our guide for the food tour in Faro, and it was undoubtedly the highlight of our holiday in Portugal! From the moment we met her, her warmth and friendliness put us at ease, and we knew we were in for a special experience. Alessandra took the time to understand our preferences, tailoring the tour to ensure we enjoyed every bite and sip. Her passion for food and drink is both obvious and contagious, making the experience even more enjoyable. She also went above and beyond to help us make the most of the rest of our trip in Portugal with excellent recommendations. We can't recommend this tour enough—thank you, Alessandra, for making our holiday unforgettable!"
"Alessandra was an excellent guide, it was an authentic Portuguese experience which included some hidden local places we would never have found. It was also good to try the different wines. A really fun and enjoyable evening."
"Monica was friendly, spoke brilliant English and had a fantastic knowledge of Faro. Thank you so much Monica! Obligado!"
"I am visiting a friend from Scotland who now lives in Portugal. It was great to have a tour just the two of us it was very much appreciated that Monica was able to come at very last minute. She was very friendly and was able to tell us all about the history and the buildings which we were interested in. She was also a very good listener as we were walking about and showed us places of interest to visit in future. My friend has Australian visitors this summer and she would consider this tour with them as it was so professional and intimate. I was happy to pay the price for the two of us as we do not see each other so often now but even better value if there is four of you."
"Monica was a great guide. Despite it being Easter she designed a great walk through Faro, educating us to the history and the myths. The walk ended at a local restaurant where we enjoyed tradition tapas and shared plates. When Monica didn’t know the answer to one of our questions (which was very rare) she didn’t try to make up an answer but just said she didn’t know and would have to look it up. We would certainly recommend a tour with Monica "
"Telma was professional and arrived early. She was super company and very knowledgeable about all things Faro. I would recommend her without hesitation. The tour made all the difference to my visit and next time I visit I will definitely book her again!"
