Unfortunately the weather was poor. Monica’s knowledge was ok. It lacked depth in history of Faro, the buildings and Portugal in general. Sadly Monica did not know most of the buildings were closed so a lot of locked doors and some aimless wandering. We had to wait for Monica to arrive and we cut the tour short after 1hour 45 minutes because there seemed no more to do. For future tours please know what is possible to do on that given day. More knowledge & planning would be better

Monica is a wonderfull guide. Lots of of stories about the history of Faro. Interested in culture, she showed us nice places to visit with music, art and good food. I will recoment her to others. One thing she needs to keep working on is her english. But over all: we loved her. Sacha and the rest.

I am visiting a friend from Scotland who now lives in Portugal. It was great to have a tour just the two of us it was very much appreciated that Monica was able to come at very last minute. She was very friendly and was able to tell us all about the history and the buildings which we were interested in. She was also a very good listener as we were walking about and showed us places of interest to visit in future. My friend has Australian visitors this summer and she would consider this tour with them as it was so professional and intimate. I was happy to pay the price for the two of us as we do not see each other so often now but even better value if there is four of you.Friendly Faro

Very enjoyable way to discover Faro. Monica led us on a meandering stroll through the old and new towns ending with some great recommendations on where to eat and get a drink.Faro walking tour

Victória was very nice and tried very hard to be a good guide. She had great enthusiasm and was very friendly. My only issue however with Victória was her knowledge of Faro was less than inspiring. Many questions she answered with " I'm not sure " or " I don't know ". She did not know the population of Faro which I think is a pretty basic question ... Again she was very nice and friendly and enthusiastic but just not very knowledgeable. Faro Tour

We booked this tour with Monica for our first evening in Faro. She met us promptly at the designated meeting point and started by asking what sort of tour/food/drink we would like. We said we'd like to find out a bit about the history and the main things to see/do in Faro. She was brilliant! We had some lovely food & drinks, we saw the sunset from a great bar, and she walked us around and showed us some key points of interest. She went over and above, and although the tour was supposed to be 2.5 hours, we were with her for over 3! Thank you Monica xxGreat tour by Monica!

Monica was a great guide. Despite it being Easter she designed a great walk through Faro, educating us to the history and the myths. The walk ended at a local restaurant where we enjoyed tradition tapas and shared plates. When Monica didn’t know the answer to one of our questions (which was very rare) she didn’t try to make up an answer but just said she didn’t know and would have to look it up. We would certainly recommend a tour with Monica Faro at Esster
