Testimonials

" Hello Alan

Just a note to let you know my mother and I both arrived home safely and without incident. They had the coldest day of the year here while we were sunning ourselves with you in Portugal, so we were pretty smug!

I also wanted to thank you again for all your help in making our trip to the Algarve the best travel experience either of us has ever had. To start with, it is a beautiful and interesting place to visit, but without your assistance in planning our week, and being our driver, tour guide and companion, we would never have been able to ‘’experience the Real Algarve” to the extent we did.

The accommodation suggestions you made were great: the hotels turned out to be just what we were looking for, the accommodations were beautiful, the locations were ideal, and we could not believe how reasonable the prices were in comparison to our part of the world.

I really appreciated the time you took in preparation for our trip to understand what we were looking for and how best to accommodate our interests and needs. After the first few e-mails we exchanged I felt comfortable in letting you take the lead in planning our itinerary, and my confidence was not misplaced. We had exactly the kind of trip we wanted: we were able to see so much of the area, but at the same time the pace was relaxed enough that my 87 year old mother was completely comfortable.

You delivered exactly what you promised on your web site and in your e-mails, and more. Thank you for taking us to your favourite places, and introducing us to your friends and acquaintances. It was a pleasure to have dinner with you and your lovely wife Linda.

You are an extremely knowledgeable guide, a reliable driver, and a pleasant companion. In fact, we both feel like we have met a friend for life, and developed a real connection to Portugal. We can’t wait to come back!

Thanks again. Stay well, both of you. We’ll keep in touch.

" We got home safely and just wanted to thank you for a brilliant day out in the Algarve. We all say it was our best day of our vacation and your company and knowledge was a pleasure. We will never forget the trip and will recommend you to anyone we know visiting Portugal in the future.
Your knowledge of Portugal is outstanding and will be a major asset to your business in the future. You and Linda look after yourselves and please keep in touch. Once again a big thank you."

"Plus another BIG THANKS,Alan for our wonderful day out - your knowledge and hospitality are second to none. Portugal is a very beautiful Country and you showed us some fabulous sights (albeit a bit Cloudy when we got to Monchique!)
Just what we wanted - an insight to the real Algarve. We have already recommended your services and will continue to do so."

'We took the opportunity of telephoning Alan to arrange a day out.We explained that we would like to leave the resort area for a day and go inland and see some of the villages. Alan suggested a trip that included Alte, Silves and Monchique. His local knowledge is excellent and we saw some breathtaking sites when we climbed up high and looked down on the Atlantic Coast. Also a bit of Celebrity Villa spotting proved lots of fun! Highly recommended' The Meehan Family, Manchester.

"Back to work this morning & normality has kicked in !!
Thank you for the wonderful day out last Tuesday. The variety of places that we visited,architecture & cultural subjects were fascinating. We will be back in Portugal at some stage next year & we will be in contact to hopefully sample some more of the superb service that you provide.
