The first stop is at Caldas de Monchique, a 16th century SPA Resort. Let’s explore the ancient gardens that look like they came out of a fairy tale and drink the famous alkaline water! The small town of Monchique is quite warm and we can walk in its small streets. After that we go to Fóia, the highest point in the Algarve and one of the largest in Portugal.

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

Montique half day tour from Lagos

A fantastic half day tour. Our guide Antonio was very knowledgeable and answered our many questions and gave excellent advice. The itinerary was perfect with great views of the Algarve from it's highest point. The stops at the spa town a d Montique were special. We would highly recommend this tour and this company.

Montique Half Day Tour

Published on May, 2024

Great day trip with our wonderful Guide Antonio from Southern Explorers. A special visit to a spa town and to Montique. The views from the highest point on the Algarve was spectacular. You could see from Faro to Cape St. Vincente.

Great day at Silves and Monchique with Antnio

Published on Mar, 2024

I really enjoyed my day with our guide Antnio for this visit at Silves and Monchique ending with a great wine tasting experience. I learned a lot about this less known part of Portugal which mots tourists miss. Quite an enjoyable day in nature. I got to see stark nests, cork and eucalyptus trees, many flowers and the top of the Monchique Mountain as well as its natural water source used by a spa. The castle in Silves is impressive with its red bricks.

Variety, comfortable, scenic, historical

Published on Mar, 2024

Knowledgeable tour/driver guide brought us to Historical Silves and Monchique then to the highest point in Southern Portugal, finishing at a small private winery for tasting and tour. Wonderful mix of history, landscapes and pleasant time spent with the others on the tour.
