I would recommend doing this earlier in your stay in Faro tho. the food was great and the wine too. And we got a deeper appreciation for Faro, the Algarve and Portugal.”

5.Olhão: Private Boat Tour, at Sunset with Oysters/Tapas and Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Set out from Olhão at 4 pm with guides Daniel and Soraia for a five-hour private cruise through the Ria Formosa. Expect island stops, oyster tasting, Portuguese tapas, wine, Cava, onboard comforts, and a sunset over the lagoon.

“Truly of the beaten track, first class service, only in private but not in a ostentatious and profligate manner, surely not for the arriviste. We took the Tapas tour with visit to the oyster beds. Impecable hosts (crew), classy and charming boat full of history. The Ria Formosa lagoon is a very peaceful and beautiful place, one of the most beautiful I've seen in the Algarve. The visit to the oyster place to taste them with regional wine is priceless, really surprising. Recommendation?! I would be onboard tomorrow.... and again the day after if I could.”

6.Portuguese Wine Tasting& Tapas in the heart of Faro

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 10 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $117

Meet at Igreja do Carmo in Faro at 6 pm for a 3.5-hour evening of Portuguese wine, gourmet cheese, charcuterie, and more than eight tapas. Alessandra is named as the host, and a wine expert guides the tasting for groups of up to 10.

“Poor/no communication from Viator. I waited for 20 minutes, sent a message to the guide who responded she had cancelled the tour multiple days previously. While Viator was quick to refund my payment, why was I charged 24 hrs ahead, why did I receive an email the morning of the tour as confirmation I would have scheduled other events for my evening had I been notified even a few hours ahead.”
