“Nice experience I was leading a group of 10 people between the age of 20 and 34. We did the Serra de Monchique walking tour and had a great time. Frank is a very patient and pleasant guide, keeps all participants’ speed and ease in mind and is very knowledgeable. We learned a great deal about the environment and its nature, history and people. A short visit to a local medronho maker was a nice addition. I can only recommend this trip and Outdoors-Tours full-heartedly, it was a nice experience!”

“Great team – fabulous walks We are a walking club from Fuengirola in Spain and 50 of us had arranged three days of walks with Frank and his team, Thomas & Serge. The age range of the group was from 55 to 82 but Frank organised each day to suit the groups who prefer harder walks and those who would like something a bit gentler. The guides were friendly, informative, funny and helpful and really made our holiday a great success. Whether you are a large or small group, we would highly recommend them to show you the wonderful sights of Portugal.”

“beautiful algarve walks I did 4 walks with outdoor tours,and saw beautiful places that were new for me, even tough I live here for 15 years. See the wonderful nature while you breath in the fresh air!”
