We spent an incredible day with Marli & Eurico. From a gorgeous coastline hike to a homemade meal on the beach, we got a ge. As hosts, they are accommodating, kind, and very knowledgeable about their country and region, which adds a valuable layer to an already meaningful time. Anyone who spends a day with Backyard Tours should consider themselves very lucky.

Marli and Eric are the most amazing couple! They are brilliant hosts and showed my friend and I the most beautiful parts of Lagos. The tour was fun and very relaxing. When I found it difficult to navigate some parts of the hike Eric was so kind and helped me a lot. We saw several different attractions and Marli and Eric were sure follow a schedule. We were provided delicious authentic Portuguese food made by Marli and Eric and it was delicious. I LOVED THE FIG JAM. We had a personalized picnic with them at the end of the tour and they took into consideration food allergies and intolerances which was very kind of them. The food was included in the price of the tour and generally speaking the tour is excellent value for money. Transport to and from your place of stay is also included. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and EVERYONE who comes to Lagos. Marli and Eric are the kindest couple and have the most beautiful souls. Thank you so much giving me an experience of a lifetime. I will be sure to do this again!!!

This hiking tour was our favorite day of the entire vacation! Marli and Eurico were fantastic hosts. We were picked up at our hotel in Lagos and went to Sagres & Costa Vicentina. They brought us to amazing, breathtaking sites that we never would have found on our own. They told us exactly what to be prepared to bring, and also would customize your hike tour depending on what you wanted to see. The day ended with a picnic on the beach watching the sunset with local food and wine. It was the perfect day. Can't get better than that! Would highly recommend.

My friend and I had an absolutely amazing time on this tour! The tour was customized based on our personal preferences and we enjoyed every minute of it! It was a perfect mix of hiking, gorgeous views, culture and even some surprise treats along the way! We topped it off with a picnic on the beach to watch the sunset and it was a really special way to end the evening. They were very responsive when setting up the day and prepared us for what to expect so we could just enjoy the day. I have already recommended them to all of my friends and family as a must-have when you visit Lagos and Portugal. Enjoy!

We could not have had a better experience with Backyard Tours. Marli & Eurico took us to beautiful locations around the Algarve that we never would have found with a guide book or on our own. They were amazing tour guides -- welcoming, considerate, and knowledgeable. They tailored the tour to our preferences and abilities. Our photos of the scenery from that day were the best of our entire holiday, and the sunset picnic to end the tour was just incredible. So many local dishes that they had made for us to try. Every single bite was delicious. We will be telling all of our friends to book with Backyard Tours when they visit the Algarve.
