Faro Tours and Trips

The trip was amazing. The scenery we biked by was truely amazing to see. Our trip leader Oriol was really great and he took great care of us all. A little disappointed with some of the hotels we were placed in. They were all rated at 4 stars... I'd say the first hotel and the last hotel was a 4 star. But after that the hotels just went down hill from there. Over all it was a wonderful bike trip

I did this trip several years ago and I’m so glad I decided to do it again! The itinerary was very manageable and a good mix of inland and coastal walks. It was a great group and we enjoyed the range of restaurants available, most of them recommended by the tour leader. Tavira is a very pretty and historic town with plenty of activities available and with a good train service to other towns nearby. The hotel was of a high standard with good rooms, helpful staff and a great range for breakfast. There is a choice of two pools, indoor and outdoor, as well as a lovely bar and terrace on the top floor. The tour leader, Ester, was excellent, helpful and caring and very attentive to the various needs of group members.

Excellent guide , Ester and hotel and organisation first class…..eating out each night was a great way to experience even more of Portuguese culture etc.I did expect to be walking along the cost each day but actually we did have a few days walking inland but still enjoyable………..my 22 trip with Explore and shall be booking my 23 soon.WELL DONE EXPLORE

Although we had a good holiday and the accommodation and tour leader were extremely good. We were a little disappointed because we would have liked more coastal walks. We felt the walks inland were a little uninspiring with regards to views etc. That said we do come from the South West of England and are a bit spoilt for coastal walks. Overall we enjoyed the holiday and Ester the guide could not have been better.

My holiday was very enjoyable, wonderful scenery, great food and company. The guide was excellent as were the hotels. The itinerary was well planned with plenty of time to explore on your own.

Really enjoyed the holiday. We had perfect weather for walking and the flowers were in bloom. Beautiful sea views. Our leader Lidia was great. She was friendly, organised and caring. Two people fell on different days and she was very competent and calm. Room in the hotel was spotless and spacious with a balcony. Only possible improvement is if there was a bar / coffee area in the hotel. The hotel provides free tea / coffee but cups / mugs are limited and there is really only one sofa to sit on inside. Great space outside. I would recommend this holiday.
