★★★★★★★★★★2.4 · 123 reviews · 45 min · from $7

45-minute Faro city train with audio in four languages, Old Town monuments, and passing views of Ria Formosa for about $7.

“Too noisy in the train to hear the narration and the sound system was so fuzzy you couldn’t have heard it anyways. No building was brought to our attention it was just a ride on a small train with uncomfortable seats. I recommend the company to at least improve your sound system and consider a different area to tour. No one in the tour with us enjoyed it.”

We turned up just as the train was due to leave and was told it was cash only despite being able to book it online, which we did and returned an hour later. The route was good, out past the salt flats which we wouldn’t have had time to do by foot and we saw some parts of Tavira we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise, but we were all shook up from the cobbles and ready to get off after the hour.
