Overview
Take a trip to The Algarve on your Portugal Vacation
The Algarve is a year-round haven privy to Portugal's gentle climate and abundant sunshine, making it a top destination on the Iberian Peninsula. The region is renowned for its pristine, sun-kissed beaches, inviting travellers to experience the beauty along the Mediterranean Sea in the southern reaches of Portugal.
The Algarve offers an array of resorts stretching along an enchanting coastline, many of which have blossomed from humble fishing towns. You will have no shortage of perfect resort options if you're seeking vibrant hubs full of activity or serene, tranquil hideaways. Venturing westward will take you to the coastline embodying a wilder character, complete with untamed beaches ideal for surfing enthusiasts. In contrast, the eastern coast, nestled between Faro and the Spanish border, exudes a more traditional Portuguese charm, distinct from the central Algarve resorts.
Venture inland to the enchanting hinterlands, where picturesque castle towns and historic villages dot flower-covered hillsides. Discover the Algarve Way, a scenic hiking trail interwoven in the landscape, offering footpaths and cycling routes for exploration.
The region's capital, Faro, hosts the Algarve's major airport and is the ideal gateway to the city's mosaic-paved pedestrian streets and tranquil waterside gardens exuding irresistible charm. The Cidade Velha, or Old Town, enclosed behind a series of ancient defensive walls, showcases Faro's rich history. Situated on the fringes of the Ria Formosa National Park, the city boasts a remarkable setting amidst saltwater lagoons and mudflats overflowing with migratory birds and wildlife.

ExcellentBased on 5,321 ReviewsSuzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories TravelMike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy ChallgrenGoway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCroryThank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYDThis was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce RobinsonWe decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier. Thanks againSue BlakeOur experience was amazing! The booking process went great. We just had to pack our clothes and everything else was taken care of thanks to Goway Travel… Lori Mezzomo!!!
