Monchique Tours and Tickets

After a slight confusion with pickup location all worked out and Tour guide Filipe was great! He is very knowledgeable and kept us informed of every aspect of the unique itinerary! We had a small group of 4 which was even better! If you have interest in seeing more of Portugal than they typical tourist areas, this tour is great and Filipe is your guy!

We had an amazing day with Vanda , she is very knowledgeable about the area that we visited. She also shared lots of information about the Portugese history of the towns that we visited. She gave us ample to to explore the areas by ourselves and also time to have lunch at one of the restaurants. She is a SAFE DRIVER !!! Can definitely recommend Vanda and this tour to anyone who want to see the mountain and taste the pure spring water that run out of it .

This is so worth doing and despite being inland away from the coast it is great to see what feels like the real Portugal. Our guide Filipe was excellent. He was clearly passionate and knew his stuff about Silves and Monchique as well as the local flora and fauna, the history and buildings. The day was great, we were picked up from our hotel around 0900 and got back around 1830. We went to Silves first which as stunning and so interesting. Then we went to Monchique and the highest point of the Algarve where you can also see Morocco in the distance. We had lunch here which Filipe kindly organised and let’s just say it was special. They had a special of the day as well as other local dishes which are highly recommend especially if you like meat as their speciality is Black Iberian pig. We were also able to sample the local moonshine before heading to an outstanding local winery where we were treated like royalty. The views and the wine were to die for. We were never rushed and it was so interesting as Filipe knows a lot of stuff, he was attentive and fun but also gave us time on our own which was great. We were with two other lovely couples and we all loved it. An unforgettable day! Thanks so much Filipe.
