    Great service! We were able to book the entire boat for our group of 8 for our trip from Ferragudo to Silves and back. We were expected and welcomed. We... read more were not rushed for getting in the boat, which was done with care. The guided tour was very interesting. Reiner was happy to answer our questions. It was amazing being on the river and seeing the sites up close. The free time in Silves was nice to stretch our legs. Because we'd been there before it was enough time to walk a bit, and sit at a cafe for a bit. The added drink of port in the boat was a very nice touch. We'll do this trip again!!

    We went out with Feel Free Algarve and it truly set the stage for our entire vacation. The crew was incredibly fun and friendly—we absolutely loved the vibe onboard. The... read more trip itself was fantastic and gave us a great perspective of the coast. I would highly recommend this booking to any friend visiting the area. It will definitely be the first thing I do on my next trip to Ferragudo. A special huge thank you to Captain Ragnar for making our trip such a delight!" Hugs, M&T

    Ich würde immer wieder die Privattour buchen. Die Tour wurde individuell für uns gestaltet. Unser Bootsführer hat immer die richtigen Stellen gefunden und das Boot in perfekter Position gehalten. Wir... read more hatten den besten Blick und die schönsten Fotomotive. Unser Reiseleiter Rainer wusste viel zu erzählen über Land und Leute. Es war sehr spannend seinen Geschichten zuzuhören und gleichzeitig die Fahrt zu genießen. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Tour!
