"This is such a remarkable experience and I cannot recommend this enough. Paulo was an excellent guide with lots of local knowledge and history. The places he took the tour was breath taking and often off the beaten track. I have no hesitation to recommend this for anyone and any age. If I had more time, I would have loved to experience the other tours this company has to offer! You will be guaranteed an experience that will enrich your body, mind and soul!"
"When the best of Portugal is revealed, under the back of those who know best, the result can only be perfect!
Maximum style, good vibrations, heat, sea, wind-in-the-face, music in the pocket ... Hmmmm, good!"
"The trip is worth it!
Far from imagining that I would get to know and enjoy an authentic Algarve.
Its people, its flavors, its smell of carob hard to forget.
The places that would offer their sights, the sunset and the night would bring a magnificent sky.
And for all these experiences I have to thank the magnificent Happyvan team.
Thank you very much for the wonderful and unforgettable trip."
