Day trips from the Algarve with your own driver
Caves, cliffs, old towns and a city across the border — go at your own pace, without tour-bus timetables or a hire car to park.
You choose where to go and when to come back. The driver takes you there and returns at the time you booked, so the day is yours in between. The most popular trips are below; any other place in the Algarve, or across the border in Spain, can be booked the same way.
Other favourite stops
Tavira, with its Roman bridge and the ferry to Ilha de Tavira; Lagos and the rock formations of Ponta da Piedade; the hill town of Monchique and the views from Fóia. Enter any of them as your destination when you book.

Frequently asked questions
Can the driver bring us back afterwards?
Yes — book a return trip and choose the time you want to be picked up. The return is a separate ride on the same booking, so you are not paying for a driver to wait while you play or explore.
