We had a lovely and informative tour with Pedro. The views, wine, and cheeses were exceptional. All at the vineyard were very kind and helpful. Highly recommend this tour and tasting.

The guide was great. Knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. The venues and food were regional as expected, and my wife and I truly enjoyed our tour. Obrigado.

We like the starting point at Carvoeiro Beach being close to the different caves including the Benagil Cave. The smaller boat can maneuver inside the caves.
