We loved the guided tour from Alex. The fun anecdotes and interesting historical stories about the cities and citizens along the coast in the last centuries was a great addition to a chill fisher boat tour and kajaking through the caves :) I recommend Francisco Padrela30 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Experience recomendable en tu estancia en Alvor, nos atendieron de maravilla, nos explicaron la historia de Alvor en el trayecto y fueron en todo momento muy cercano a nosotros. El barco en el que nos montamos para llegar a nuestro destino todo una reliquia, en resumen todo muy bien, sobre todo la disposición por ellos de agradar en esta experiencia. El recorrido de Kayak muy interesante y apto para todos los públicos. Felicity Wood9 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
