Our guide was knowledge, patient, spoke amazing English and generally a great laugh. We had a great time and would highly recommend !
Lovely trip on the beautiful Ria Formosa. Our guide paced it perfectly and it was great to get some of the history of the Ria Formosa and its islands and to have the fiddled crabs, heron, oyster catchers and other birds pointed out and their habits described.
