"That was my first solo trip, and it was absolutely amazing! João's smile and positive energy made the whole ride unforgettable. Once we reached the beaches, the weather cleared — and so did any doubt I had about coming alone."
★★★★★
"Such a fantastic day trip. Simão made us feel comfortable straight away. He took great photos throughout the day and made sure nobody felt left out. We saw amazing sights and had enough free time to stroll around."
★★★★★

Any questions before
the journey?
We’ve got you covered.
Is this a boat tour?
No! This is a walking tour along the clifftops. You see Benagil from above, looking down into the famous skylight. Think coastal paths, great views, and time for photos and breaks.
Where is the meeting point?
We meet right beside the Faro Customs House (Alfândega de Faro).
You will see our van with our guide waiting for you.
How fit do I need to be?
Moderate fitness is enough. There’s walking on coastal paths with some uneven terrain and steps. Your guide always adapts the pace to the group. We’ve had travellers aged 18 to 74 complete it comfortably.
Where do we eat lunch?
We stop in Carvoeiro, where you’ll find restaurants and mini-markets for every taste. Or feel free to bring your own food to enjoy by the sea.
How about the heat?
Summer days can be warm. Bring a hat, sunscreen and a refillable water bottle. The van has air conditioning between stops.
I'm travelling alone. Will I fit in?
Absolutely. Solo travellers are one of our most frequent types of guest. With only 8 people per group you’ll connect quickly. Your guide makes sure no one ever feels left out.
How do I know my booking is confirmed?
You’ll receive a confirmation email with your tickets attached. If you don’t see it, please check your spam or promotions folder.

Just let us know at least 48 hours before your original tour date and we’ll do our best to sort it.
What if I need to cancel?
No problem if you cancel at least 24 hours before the tour, you’ll get a full refund.

Hidden spots. Great stories. Founder.
Simão is the heart and soul of Choose Your Route. He founded the company with a vision to show travellers the real Algarve, not the tourist version. He knows the coast like the back of his hand — the viewpoints most guides miss, the best angles for photos, the hidden paths that lead somewhere extraordinary. He keeps the group laughing all day, goes out of his way to speak the language of every traveller in the van, and finds the best spots even when the crowds show up. Calm, resourceful, and quietly brilliant.
Marine biologist. Local legend.
João is the guide travellers remember by name. A marine biologist who knows every plant, creature, and cliff on this coast — and shares it all with infectious enthusiasm. He plays a custom playlist with songs from every country in the group, learns everyone's name before the first stop, and somehow always finds the perfect photo angle. Warm, funny, and genuinely passionate about the Algarve.
Vibey energy. Best photos.
Geraldine brings an energy that lifts the entire group from the first hello. Knowledgeable, funny, and with an extraordinary eye for photography — travellers consistently say she took better photos of them than any professional ever had. She holds hands on steep paths, remembers everyone's preferences, and makes even the quieter members of the group feel seen.
Pure passion. Positive energy.
Diana is the guide who makes you forget you're on a tour. Her love for the Algarve is visible in every stop, every story, every photo she takes of you. Fluent in multiple languages, she adapts to every group — from couples on a romantic day to families with curious kids. Energetic, warm, and completely genuine.
