The tour begins with a convenient pickup from the Albufeira area, setting off on a journey through some of the Algarve’s most captivating landscapes and historical sites. The first stop is the old Moorish capital of Silves, where you can explore its impressive castle and the well-preserved cathedral while learning about the city’s rich history. From Silves, the journey continues toward the Monchique mountains, traveling along scenic roads inaccessible to larger buses, which allows for spectacular views of the Algarve’s coastline and the lush Monchique countryside.

Next, the tour takes you to the historic city of Lagos, the starting point of Portugal’s Age of Discovery under Prince Henry the Navigator. Here, you can choose to enjoy a leisurely lunch, visit local museums, or simply wander through the charming old town, admiring its historical sites and vibrant atmosphere. In the afternoon, the journey continues to Cape Saint Vincent, famously known as the “End of the World” before the discovery of the New World.

Had a fantastic time on the sunset trip with George as our guide. From we got picked up from our apartment till we got dropped back again, we had a blast. The community farm was brilliant (so was the Firewater) It was so good to support a local farm that educates children and big children, lol.. Standing up in the back of the truck was brilliant, and at the end of the track, looking over the valley below was breathtaking. It was well worth the time, and George helped to make the hole experience extra fun. Thank all you guys for a fantastic experience.

Very good experience. Great way to see sights and beaches of the algarve. Most of the beaches are to far away from the town to walk. I would recommend booking with this company,our driver had very good english local man who lived in old town albufeira he gave us some history about the town and the sights. He was very nice gave us plenty of time at each place we stopped to take photos and talk.
