A fantastic half day tour. Our guide Antonio was very knowledgeable and answered our many questions and gave excellent advice.

Montique Half Day Tour

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.
