Local advice on booking

If you’re planning to use any local services in the Algarve, try contacting them outside of peak season, like late autumn or early spring. Businesses tend to be more flexible then, which means better availability and sometimes a more personable experience. For example, if you want to hire a guide for exploring the Ria Formosa Natural Park near Faro, booking in October often means you can tailor the tour more closely to what you want instead of the standard routes offered in summer. It also gives you a chance to chat directly with locals who know the area really well and can share stories or tips you won’t get otherwise.
