Monchique Tour with Filipe

Lorraine_B, Apr 2026
We highly recommend any tours with Filipe! He was very knowledgeable, professional and kind! The Monchique tour had some walking and driving. Our favourite part was seeing the Storks and their babies! Also drinking the spring water and filling up our water bottles. Thank you Filipe for an awesome tour experience! Lorraine

Amazing!

Filipe was an excellent guide! He had so much knowledge to share. We saw beautiful and interesting parts of the Algarve I wouldn’t have seen without this tour. It was easy to see Filipe enjoys his job. I’ve already recommended this tour!

The relaxing drive into the Monchique countryside with our lovely driver Magdelana. The views from the top were gorgeous as was the liquor.

Lovely half day trip. António was a great guide - very knowledgable and nice guy. Particularly enjoyed visiting the quiet retreat on the way up to Monchique village - very peaceful and beautiful. Would highly recommend the trip to others.

Antonio knows a lot about the flora and fauna in the surrounding areas. He also knows about the history of the places. The places are very beautiful. egg
