Luis was an amazing guide! We were most impressed with his knowledge of the flora and the fauna. But we especially loved his passion for sharing his love of all things in nature. He was kind and especially patient with us and seemed to delight in sharing his knowledge and passion with us this morning!

We had an amazing tour with Luìs this morning. He took us to a beautiful part of the rural area behind Olhão and showed us all we should know about the local ecosystems, the people still living there and the cork. It was amazing to see how much biodiversity a cork forest has and to see the resilience of this tree. An experience that I for sure recommend to any nature lover that wants to discover more about the region, far away from the mass tourism :)

We had a fantastic experience being shown all the incredible nature of the Ria Formosa. Our guide was so knowledgeable, and we were able to see so much more than we would have by ourselves. We really learned a lot about this amazing place and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the local area.

We had a fantastic morning with Luis whose passion and knowledge for the flora, fauna, bird and animal life of the Ria Formosa is unrivalled. The walk was beautiful and at an easy pace and Luis was a complete delight from booking to the walk. We learned a huge amount and it has increased our enjoyment and interest in the whole area. We loved using the binoculars and telescope and will definitely return with all the family. Suitable for all ages. Just fabulous.

Beautiful walk made through the nature reserve. Luis is a very nice guide, who knows the region inside out. Searched for birds together, and he appeared to have a very extensive knowledge. He even knew the names vd vogels in Dutch !!!!
