Top Faro Day Trips

Jonny was fantastic, very entertaining. We saw beautiful scenery. The itinerary needs to be updated as we stopped in Lagos first, then Cape St Vincent, there was no actual stop in Monchique just a drive through to the lunch stop, Fóia and then Silves. The day we toured there were 10 in total on the bus, so it was great getting to know everyone. The lunch stop (which isnt mentioned until you are on the bus) served excellent food (couvert, main, dessert with drink of choice - beer/wine/soft drink/water) for €22 pp. Lunch is optional BUT the stop is almost an hour on the side of the hill before heading to Fóia. Food is preordered however any dietary requirements might be an issue eg coeliac/food allergy. In Fóia, the tasting of fire water ensured I didn't feel the heat for the rest of the day! View down to coast was fantastic! Highlight was definately The End of The World (Cabo de Sao Vicente). Constructive Criticism: I thought we would be told more historical information and would have like to have learned more about the Crusaders and perhaps a map with some information for each stop would be helpful - I felt as though we were just dropped off and had maybe 40 mins to try and find what we wanted to see especially when we didn't know where we were being dropped off - in Silves the walk to the Cathedral and Castle was not suitable for my almost 70yo aunt.

Adam was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and look into details. We had a fantastic hiking day. In addition, our hotel is in Albufeira, he dropped us off in Albufeira shopping center on the way back so it was easier for us to go back to the hotel. Very considerate.

Beautiful scenery and lunch spot. The climb around the Algarve cliffs is rather rigorous-lots of loose stones, tree roots, and up and down narrow valleys. Not too many stairs or handrails for people who need assistance. So if you have difficulty with mobility, I would not suggest this tour.
