Raw Algarve Adventure Tours

Me and three friends from Toronto had an amazing time hiking the 7 Hanging Valleys with Chris, which was no surprise as he was a personal referral from a colleague. Chris took us to some really incredible sights and heights, explaining the unique features of the Algarve region along the way. We were up for the challenge when it came to climbing the rocky terrain and sliding down some steep slopes. We capped off our active day with a beer, swim at the Benagil cave, and a tapas dinner made by Chris which was a highlight of our trip. Absolutely recommend this experience if you're looking to take your adventure/thrill-seeking to new heights!

It was just an amazing hiking experience! From the first minutes I felt as if we had known each other for a long time and it was all thanks to Chris. Time flew by very quickly in great company, with a wonderful guide and a very tasty portuguese dinner! Thank you so much Chris for the day:)

One of the best hikes I’ve done - super fun and cute tour guide, Chris is a real blessing! Highly recommend any of his tours.

We did the dogs, wine, beach tour so had high expectations and the tour totally delivered!!

After being picked up in Lagos, we visited a no-kill dog shelter in Aljezur. The dogs were sooo sweet and loved getting attention. We walked them up a hill to nearby castle ruins that had the most beautiful view of the valley, and then back down through the old town. It was a super picturesque and relaxing morning.

After that, we had a wine tasting at Quinto dos Vales winery and also had an AMAZING homecooked picnic lunch that was delicious!

The final stop of the day was a beach on the south coast near Portimao. It was beautiful and private and we drank wine on the beach too.

Our guide Chris was so fun and knowledgeable about Portugal and the Algarve region. He gave us lots of travel tips and was a great guide! Highly recommended - can’t imagine a better way to spend a day in the Algarve region.

We (family of four incl. toddler) had a great private tour with Chris - including dog walking, sight seeing and having lunch at a beautiful, hidden place on Algarve's west coast.
I can highly recommend the tour and especially Chris - he was fun, organized and always took care of our needs (of which you have a lot with two little kids...) - couldn't think of any better host!

The Monchique sunset hike is a must do whilst visiting Lagos! We stayed in Lagos for a week and it was the highlight of our stay! It was good to escape the beaches and hustle for an afternoon of wondering the beautiful streets of Monchique before walking up to the highest point in the area with stunning views over the Algarve. Matt was an absolute legend and awesome to deal with, to top it off Matt supplied a yum dinner and a few tasty wines at the top. Great photo opportunities along the way and at the top. 10/10.

Such a unique collection of tours that really show you parts of Portugal you just wouldn’t see otherwise. They take you away from the tourist beaten track and expose you to small Portuguese towns, mountainous landscapes and the funniest doggos in the Algarve. This, accompanied with a wholesome, healthy picnic that really encapsulated local flavours and some A+ chat from the boys creates a day that you won’t forget.
Good bloody job lads!

I did the dogs,wine,beach tour and it was one of the best experiences I ever had! A great way to discover Algrave, its culture and nature!

No Stars!
Didn't show up. Wasted time! I love unique experiences and dogs so I thought the dogs, Beach and wine day sounded perfect. I thought this might be a little sketch when I completed the booking online and didn't hear anything so 5 days later, sent a WhatsApp and got a response from Chris saying he was catching up from vacation, but he was doing this 'tour' and booking was confirmed.
Two weeks prior I reached out to confirm and ask about the time and place to meet. Received a response. Today we went to the meeting point and waited. No response to WhatsApp app messages and no answer to phone calls. Very disappointed the time was wasted where I could have booked a different, reliable day of adventure. Luckily did not pay in advance!
RUDE!
(I really hope nothing happened to him, however it also appears his WhatsApp was deleted or I was blocked prior to tour)
