A more authentic and relaxing experience
Unlike an excursion, a private tour allows for more direct contact with the local culture, providing a deeper understanding of the destination, as well as offering a more relaxing and peaceful experience, as participants have more time to explore each attraction (without the typical rush of large group excursions).

Families with young children, the elderly and people with special needs have more advantages when taking private tours in the Algarve because only this type of excursion can meet their specific requirements.
