Best tours in Algarve region of Portugal please.

Staying a few days in Algarve region at end of April. Are there some day tours we should not miss? Trip is for two adults. A little nervous of caves- do they feel claustrophobic at all?!

Thank-you.

Hi - The boat tours are great. I can get claustrophobic (and sea sick) and had no issues. I can't remember the group we went with. They were fine, but the ones with great reputations book early. There was a family run one that we couldn't book, but I don't remember the name. Look at the reviews on Viator and book thru them.
Also, I posted this on another thread - "we also highly recommend the "Guru walking tour" in Lagos with Ligio and/or Nikola. We weren't familiar with Guru walking tours - they are free (you just tip your guide at the end what you want to pay). It was fantastic! History we wouldn't have learned otherwise and good recommendations for restaurants and the best pastel de nada in town. Ligio started the tours and we were disappointed at first that we didn't get him because of the reviews about how great he is, but our tour with Nikola was awesome. We loved him.

It looks like Ligio does (maybe not the guy we had).
walkingguru.com.
Put in the city, a date and the size of your party, then - "Lagos Free Walking Tour with local historian".l You will see Ligio's name and profile. One of the best things we decided to do in Lagos.
