Beautiful tour, crew and boat!
7 Hr – Ria Formosa Islands Tour on August 26, 202612 adults

Our group of 12 experienced the 7 hour Formosa Islands tour. Joao and Alfonso were just fabulous with each and everyone of us. The yacht was beautiful and plenty of room for each us to lay and/or sit. Their kindness, knowledge and hospitality is the best we have experienced to date compared to other tours we have taken throughout Europe. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to our captain and skipper.
