Excellent day to see the history and the geography of the Algarve

5.00We had a fabulous day. Starting with Silves in the morning. A beautiful historic area. Followed by Monchique, where we visited Caldes and tasted the famous spring water direct from the mountain. Foia for views of the whole Algarve and an authentic artisan craft location. Our guide recommended a place in Monchique for a delicious lunch. We finished with a stop at a stunning vineyard. It was a perfect day which was a good balance of plenty to do and enough time to take it all in. Filipe our guide was very knowledgeable on the history, geography, the diversity of the plants and architecture. We have been coming to the Algarve for many years but still learnt a lot. Would highly recommend!

5.00Everyone in my group had a wonderful time. Rui, our guide and driver, had grown up in Monchique, and had a great deal to share about the the beautiful village. Rui was a lot of of fun, never a dull moment as we traversed our way through Silves, Monchique, and the winery. This is a small group tour that anyone who could walk would be able to do.
You must have done this trip in the Algarve. Fantastic

5.00Our tour of Silves and Monchique was excellent. Felipe knew absolutely everything about the towns and sites we visited, sharing information along the way and during our tours - very involved yet giving us plenty of time to explore and shop on our own. When I mentioned that I loved cork Portuguese handbags, he made sure that we examined the cork trees and bark that we saw during the tour and found cork stores for me to look into. He gave us two cafe recommendations, and then recommended menu items in the wonderful little Monchique cafe that we chose (the Iberian black pig was indeed tasty). The wine tasting at the end of the tour was the perfect end to a perfect day!
Awesome opportunity to visit the Algarve interior.

5.00Excellent experience! It was a well conducted opportunity to visit new areas in the Algarve, which was what we wanted. Filipe was a very informative, knowledgeable, friendly guide who went above and beyond to make this tour memorable. The view from the top of the mountain was awesome. The wine tasting was almost a bonus to the tour, and gave us an opportunity to try wines from a boutique, local winery. Would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in visiting the Algarve interior.
Very informative!

Antônio was the best...

5.00Antônio was the best host! He was attentive and personable and communicated well throughout the tour. He allowed for extra time during the winery stop since it was the last stop of the tour. Being a smaller a group made for an overall better experience.
A wonderful time
