Obrigado pelo elogio Franco e verdadeiro!
Sim faço o meu passeio com muito coração, gosto e dedicação para com os meus clientes.
Fico satisfeito quando os clientes gostam do meu trabalho.
Obrigado pela vossa companhia e simpatia genuína.
A gruta de Benagil é de uma rara beleza, as arribas da praia da Marinha são de uma tranquilidade ímpar.
Obrigado por visitarem o meu Portugal.

Sebastian was great. We enjoyed the tour and different spots he showed us. Helpful throughout the tour, well worth the price. It includes your gear to swim to the cave, great experience.
Amazing tour

Honestly this was our best day of our trip to the Algarve. My boyfriend and I were really looking forward to seeing the 16m year old caves but wanted to go on a tour with a small group so luckily I found this one. My partner was a little nervous as he’s not very confident in the sea (there is a short swim around the cove to access the cave) but Sebastian, our guide, was really good and helped with his confidence (turns out he’s ex-SAS so we’re good 😊). As soon as he picked us up he was so friendly, and gave us some great advice about where to go in Tavira (that’s where we we’re staying) once we got to the beach and parked up he gave us a short de-brief on safety in the sea and gave us our body boards, life jackets, fins and wetsuits - which were freshly washed and very clean, unlike other tours I have been on. We then made our way down onto the beach for our short swim around the cove and into the cave. The cave was insanely beautiful as expected where Sebastian helped us to take amazing photos for memories and the gram. We then had a lovely walk along the cliffs followed by 90 mins of chill-time to sunbathe on the beautiful beach nearby, grab some snacks and freshly squeezed orange juice or fruit from the food trucks. We were then dropped back to our meeting point safely. I would strongly recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore the Benagil caves and would rather experience a good swim instead of a tourist trap boat. Thanks for a great day Sebastian!
Beautiful, interesting, fun

The tour guide was awesome and overall the tour was very well thought out! Timing was great, and it allowed us to stop and take in the views as often as we wanted. The guide was also very nice and told us a lot of stories along the way. He also knew all the best places to take pictures.

This was an amazing day trip. My husband and I enjoyed the swim to the Benagil cave and felt very safe and in good hands with Sebastiao! He was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the best places to take photos and visit. Never felt any rush or pressure. Lovely day of adventure and relaxation. We were well provided for! Highly recommended!
