A hidden gem on the water near Faro
What a wonderful way to spend our last day in Portugal seeing Ria Formosa from Faro- thanks to our wonderful guide & driver Joao We will certainly be back & let our Aussie friends know
Lovely relaxing boat trip
We did this trip a few days ago. We had a five month old baby with us and five adults. The guide Adolpho was very good. He took us to the deserted island where we walked, swam and had a drink in the cafe. We were able to take as long as we wanted. He then took us to the other island where we had a walk around and a snack. Again he didn't rush us. Then we sailed back. It was a lovely day
Ria Formosa ride
Great excursion! The guide Jean is top! He speaks very good French and kind attention to each passenger
We booked the private tour with 2 island stops. Our guide was Oscar who was excellent and very informative. We got 1 hour on the first island which was nice but not enough time to eat and explore then 2 hours on the second which was far too long. Very crowded not much to do so we came home an hour only. Save yourself the money and get a water taxi. So much cheaper. We wouldn't do this again.
Oscar good guide
Very nice view and good food. Oscar was a very good guide. We had good weather and the beaches was very clean and had beautiful golden fine sand
