João’s tour was the highlight of our trip. We saw several areas of the Algarve that demonstrated the immense depth and beauty of the region: from pristine beaches to historic fortresses. João’s passion for his native land was infectious. He is energetic, friendly, engaging and an excellent communicator…everything you would ask for in a tour guide. At the end of our tour, our family of four acquired a newfound appreciation for the Algarve, and a new friend in João. Our only regret was that we were not able to get even more of João’s time during our stay. Would highly recommend João to anyone traveling to the Algarve. We definitely book as much of his time as we can get when we return.

I booked the Private Tour for my family of 4 (two teenagers) for our first visit to Portugal! And let me just say, if you are looking for a tour, This is your guy! Johnny was not only knowledgeable but he made sure to capture all the moments for our family along the way. He packed waters in a cooler, made sure to give us plenty of time to explore and most importantly he was the kindest most pleasant person to be around. I would reccomend him to anyone, at anytime, hands down. His website was a great resource to find all the tours and experiences he can offer. Some of my favorite family pictures and memories from this trip were from this tour!
