What you can expect

Start the tour after being picked up from the Albufeira area. First historical visit is the old Moorish capital of Silves, with its amazing castle and well preserved cathedral and learn about its history. From Silves we continue our journey towards the Monchique mountains, this by roads where the big buses can’t go and therefore possible to enjoy amazing views over the Algarve’s coastline and Monchique’s beautiful nature. During the drive there will be several photo stops, so you can enjoy the best of it. Next visit is the historical city Lagos, from where the Portuguese age of discovery began under the command of prince Henry the navigator. Here you have various options like lunch, visiting museums or just exploring its old town and admiring the historical sites. In the afternoon we continue our journey towards Cape Saint Vincent also known as the End of the World before the discovery of the new world. This is the most south western tip of our mainland Europe where you can enjoy amazing views of the beautiful cliffs where land meets the Atlantic ocean.

Nice very full day trip but actually saw a lot! The only thing I would ask if when going to Monchique if there were stops to take pictures, the countryside is very beautiful but the roads are not in very good condition so bumping around isn't good to take pictures from the van. Otherwise a nice trip with a good amount of information.

We had a fantastic time. We got to see so much and Benny was so knowledgeable about the history of Portugal. We were 2 people and there was only another 2 in the van. So it was a great small group. I would highly recommend this tour!

Improve nothing. Ben is a delight. Knowledgeable and informative. Not only does he know the sites but he explains the history of each one. He offers this information with the enthusiasm of college professor. Also he went over Portuguese culture and interesting facts about ancient and recent history. His interpretative talk is one of best we have had chance to enjoy. Thank you Ben for a delightful day.
