5.00Our tour guide was Vanda. She picked us up from our hotel at 830 and took us to all the sites mentioned in the tour. She gave us plenty of time and gave good commentary along the way. The views from the Senora da Rocco, Castle of Silves and Sagres were superb even though winds had picked up a lot in the evening. The view from the mountain top of Foia would have also been great but it was hazy. She brought us back at 730 pm which was more time that the trip called for. But not hurrying it up made it enjoyable.
Excellent excursion our...
