An all-inclusive private day tour from Lisbon to the Algarve, built for guests who want a comfortable, easy-paced day with no walking required. Your driver-guide takes you south through the Alentejo's cork oak landscapes to Albufeira Marina, where a boat cruise brings you to the Benagil Sea Cave and the Seven Hanging Valleys cliffs. The day also includes a full Portuguese lunch and a wine tasting, so nothing beyond the day itself needs arranging.

Your day, stop by stop
Pick-up and the drive through the Alentejo
We collect you privately from your hotel in Lisbon (or anywhere in the Greater Lisbon area, at no extra charge) in the morning. Your driver-guide takes you south through the Alentejo, past its wide cork oak landscapes, toward the Algarve coast, in a private, air-conditioned vehicle just for your group.
Welcome drinks at Albufeira Marina
On arrival at the lively Albufeira Marina, you're offered welcome drinks before boarding the boat — an easy way to settle in before the coastal segment of the day begins.
Boat cruise to the Benagil Sea Cave
From the marina, you join a boat cruise along the coast to see the Benagil Sea Cave and the multi-hued Seven Hanging Valleys cliffs from the water — this is the one part of the day where the boat is shared with other visitors, since it's the only practical way to reach the caves by sea.
Lunch and wine tasting
Back on land, the day continues with a full Portuguese lunch, followed by a wine tasting featuring a selection of well-regarded Portuguese wines. The wine tasting is also a shared experience, run together with other guests, and is only available to travellers aged 18 and over.
The drive back to Lisbon
With lunch and the wine tasting done, your driver-guide brings you back to Lisbon via the A2 motorway, a smooth and direct return to your hotel.

Please note
The vehicle and driver-guide are private to your group for the whole day. Two parts of the day are shared with other travellers rather than private to your group: the boat cruise to the Benagil Sea Cave, and the wine tasting — both run together with other guests, since that's how these particular stops operate.
The wine tasting is only available to guests aged 18 and over. This tour is designed around comfort, with no walking required at any point, but it isn't wheelchair accessible, and we don't recommend it if you have back problems or are pregnant. Pets can't come along either.
This is a private pick-up — just tell us your hotel name and street address when you book. If you're staying anywhere in the Greater Lisbon area but your accommodation isn't listed, let us know after booking; there's no extra charge for pickup within that area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you pick us up?
