This full-day tour is very worthwhile as an opportunity to see parts of the Algarve that would otherwise be missed. Silves was a great place to buy things (e.g. ceramics) as prices are much lower than major centers, and Lagos was charming. Cape St. Vincent was a great viewpoint that we weren't even aware of before the tour. Our guide Jonny was excellent and knowledgeable.

What a day we had, the trip from start to finish was fabulous 👌, great time schedule through out the day. Jonny our driver and tour guide kept us entertained with his humour and wealth of knowledge. We took some beautiful photos at our different stops and had lunch at a little restaurant up Monchique mountain with amazing views. Highly recommend this trip "The western Algarve" we loved it ❤️

This was a very informative and fun tour! The tour guide Johnny was so knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a good time! Can’t recommend the guide and tour enough for a wonderful experience in the algarve!

Spent the day seeing beautiful countryside and Oceanside! The stops were all well organized and were planned for the best time of the day to see the most. An enjoyable lunch at the summit-truly delicious. Johnny kept us informed and entertained with stories and information - showing a knowledge and love of Portugal! Friendly, kind and knowledgeable guide - covered all the spots as promised with a couple additional stops for photos! Who could ask for more??

Guide was very entertaining. Unfortunately I booked western experience and was placed on Historical tour. As well, didn’t spend any time in Monchique. Instead we stopped at a roadside diner for an hour for a three course meal. The restaurant next door was excellent. But no time spent in one of the prettiest towns. Plenty of time in Silves. Too much driving. Would not recommend.

Joâo (Jonny) was a great tour guide. His knowledge combined with his sense of humour made the trip enjoyable! Seeing so many different places in such a short time is possible! From the views from Monchique to the most southwestern point of Europe the trip had something for everyone!

It was a great day, very good experience. We really enjoyed that its a smaller vehicle and smaller tour group. The travel between locations/stop weren't very long, so it didn't feel like we were traveling all day. Our tour guide was great. Thank you.

The excursion is interesting in relation to the price, although I would like to point out some aspects to improve:
The first stop is in Silves, from 9:00 (approximately) to 10:15. There you visit the castle and the church. However, the church opens at 10:00, making it impossible to enter and, at the same time, return to the bus on time. In my opinion, the tour should start a little later for the visit to be complete.
At the Monchique stop you don't really visit the village. Pause at a restaurant where the guide offers a €22 menu. Being in an isolated area with no other options nearby, it practically forces consumption there, since the wait until resuming the bus is an hour. Furthermore, this is not reported at any point in the announcement.
Ideally, you should spend more time in Lagos, for example, and allow each person to choose where and when to eat.
Finally, I recommend wearing comfortable clothes. At both the Highest Point of Albufeira and the Cape of San Vicente we found a lot of wind (at least on the day of our visit). Being well prepared with appropriate clothing is essential to fully enjoy these stops.
Taking these points into account, I recommend this experience for its quality/price.

Le guide drôle, généreux, intéressant et connaissant bien la région! Agréable les gens respectaient les horaires et un groupe de 17 personnes c’est parfait!

Heel mooie omgeving en heel veel mooie punten ondekt.
Helaas was het transportmiddel niet fijn. Weinig beenruimte en de extra geplaatste achterbank zorgde ervoor dat achterin geen raam zat waardoor je niet goed naar de omgeving kon kijken terwijl je daar juist voor de excursie boekt.

Ótimo passeio! Ótimo guia. Tudo que estava previsto foi executado no tempo previsto. Vale a pena! Recomendo!
