GET READY FOR THE OFF-ROAD TOURS
SO YOU’VE DECIDED TO COME ON AN ADVENTURE WITH US – BRILLIANT DECISION!
This page here is to help you prepare for your tour with us and know exactly what to expect.
When you made your booking, you either selected that you WANT a pickup or do NOT WANT a pickup. If you selected the PICKUP option, read the details below:
Our Base Camp is situated in an area called Fontainhas (in Albufeira) – and our pickup service area is between Armação de Pêra and Quarteira.
TIMING FOR PICKUPS
Our tours either depart at 10h00 or 15h00, depending on which time you selected for.
10h00 Tours – Your charming Algarve Riders Guide will meet you at the scheduled time which vary from 8h45 and 9h10. Don’t worry if we don’t arrive at the specific scheduled time, traffic can be really bad sometimes. Do not worry!
14h00 Tours – Same deal! Your Guide will meet you at the scheduled time which vary from 13h45 and 14h10. Same friendly reminder, if we’re not there right at the scheduled time on the dot it just means we’re probably stuck in traffic.
Please ensure that you have provided us with a contact number and email is always appreciated too! If you’re unsure about the pickup address, email us prior to your travels at info@algarveriders.com
However, if we’re ever past the pickup times you can give us a ring at +351 968 552 236 (working hours: 8h30 to 18h00).
MEETING US ON LOCATION
If you DID NOT select the option to be picked up, you’ll be meeting us at our Algarve Riders Base Camp. The GPS coordinates are:
