Testimonials

"We reached out to Happy Van to surprise our daughter for her sixth birthday and Paulo was extremely accommodating to make it happen! He provided us with a detailed timeline of our trip and all the cool things we would do/see. We truly were expecting to see more of the same as we are local, but he had some hidden gems for us! We loved the ride, the picnic, the conversations, the night sky in Sagres and all the memories we brought back. Truly an amazing experience. Highly recommended!"
"Highlight Of Our Holiday!!! A beautiful experience! This tour was definitely the highlight of my holiday! We embarked on this tour the day before our flight home. Despite being in Portugal for 5 days prior to the experience, it felt like we were seeing it through a different set of lenses. Paulo and Joao tailor the tour to the type of experience the passengers want to have, whether it’s a night time tour along the beach or a day time tour in a smaller neighbouring city. This experience really opened up my eyes to the beauty of taking joy in the simple things of life. Months later and I still remember the tour like it was yesterday!! Paulo and Joao are such beautiful souls and it was a true pleasure having them guide us through the various sites, explaining the history and patiently answer all our questions. If you are considering going on the Happy Van Tour do not hesitate to do so!!"
"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 Happy Van's magnificent team. Thank you so much for the wonderful and unforgettable trip! "
