Small-group Algarve day trip from Lagos to Silves, Monchique, Fóia and a winery tasting, with views and real local stops.

“The tour was awesome! The castle in Silves was beautiful and our guide António really gave us interesting information. The visit to the thermal springs in Monchique was a nice stop on the way to the top of the mountain. The guide is very well informed about the local flora and fauna. The winery was beautiful and the wine tasted very good after such a day. The transport in Antónios van is very comfortabele. He also tells about the surroundings and has a lot of knowledge about the places you're visiting. We enjoyed it so much that we booked another tour with him two days later. I can only recommend…”

Our guide was (sorry, I have forgotten his name) was both polite and friendly and knew the history of all our stops and about Portugal in general. The trip was 4 hours and it flew in.
