Traveler ReviewsOne of my most memorable and beautiful trips!

I was on a trip to UK and had just a day to spend before returning to my home in Estonia. I was looking for a short break and found a good deal on Ryanair to fly to Faro for a day trip. Having never been to Portugal I took this opportunity and looked up the Tripadvisor for things to do in Faro. From here I found about quadbiking and felt like giving it a try after reading the good reviews.
Clare picked me up from the airport and was surprised that I am there only for a day and that too for quadbiking! Mark was awaiting at their home and then took me out for getting a hang of the quadbike. He described the tricks and techniques patiently and soon I were ready for the adventure. We drove for about 3 hours in the wilderness and it was a feast for the senses to soak in the sights and breathe fresh country air.
On my return Clare had a hot meal ready at her home. This touched me deeply as they were not like normal tour operators but went beyond to express core human values.
I look forward to visit them again and recommend to all this fantastic adventure in Faro. Cheers!
Can't wait to come back

Thank you so much, Clare & Mark, for the wonderful time we had on your Quad Bike Tour!! We'd definitely visit you again in a heartbeat! My husband & I really enjoyed your hospitality as well as the beautiful views of the Algarve!
I had never been on a quad bike before, let along drive one myself! But Mark did a wonderful job of teaching me & making me comfortable on the bike. Before long, I was racing right along with my husband! We did the four hour tour, stopping halfway through for a refreshing espresso & a chat while we rested.
We had such a wonderful time! I would definitely suggest Roosted Quad Day Tours to anyone interested in seeing the beautiful Algarve from atop a mountain or nestled in a pretty valley! Even for first timers, the tour was easy & memorable. Thank you again!
A fantastic way to see the hidden Algarve.

Thanks Claire and Mark for a fantastic day out. Firstly I've had a fair bit of experience trail riding around Tavira, but Mark opened up a whole new world. I really would say I caught a glimpse of the hidden Algarve, abandoned watermills, Natural Springs, Rivers and Tiny little villages un-spoilt by the hands of time. Marks Knowledge of the trails we rode on was outstanding and not just a few miles of them but a 150km . I think we travelled along tarmac roads for about 2 or 3km. The rest was through rivers (some pretty deep) I thought I felt the bike float at one point. canyons and forests, a real diverse mix of terrain. I was pretty tired by the end, but the whole day out just kept playing through my mind for days after. I wouldn't have a clue how to get to the beautiful spots again. No worries though as I will definitely be going out with Mark again. If there's one thing you do on your holiday in the Algarve go for this I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Absolutely brilliant!

Just got back from another amazing time out on the quads with Mark and two other lads.
This is the third time I've been out with Mark and was the best yet!
We covered around 150 kilometers of every possible type of terrain. The King Quads we were riding are amazing machines in top condition and can easily handle absolutely anything that we could throw at them. As it's the wet season, we must have crossed 50 or more rivers and raced around the most deeply rutted tracks I've ever seen. We were all experienced riders and so able to enjoy hardcore off-road quad riding at its absolute best!
The resturant we stopped at served up a great meal of wild boar in a fantastic setting.
I've lived in the Algarve for over 20 years but only discovered Rooster tours this year, and Marks knowledge of the hills and valleys around where he lives meant that we only crossed the tarmac roads half a dozen times, before disappearing once again into the most beautiful countryside, that I didn't know existed here!
I can definitely recommend this as a fantastic day out, for anyone who'd like to do something exiting as an alternative to the bars and beaches.
Well done Mark and Claire for providing such a great time at what I consider to be a bargain price.
I'll definitely be back for more!
