Summary: We chose this Benagil tour because of the reviews of the guides Pedro and Andreia. This was the right call! They were both very knowledgeable (Portimao natives!) and very nice and friendly. Pedro is extremely good at driving the boat (on ocean waves with many other boats around, not once was it bouncy!) We had a surprise visit from Dolphins (after Andreia said they rarely come this close to shore!). With so many options for trips to Benagil from Portimao, we are very glad to have chosen this one.
