This was a fabulous tour to learn about some of the history of the Algarve region, explore some unique areas, like the thermal spa in Caldas, appreciate the amazing views on top of the mountain, and end the day enjoying some wonderful wine at a local winery. Antonio is an exceptional guide for this tour. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, willing to answer all questions, and is super friendly. We even stopped at a site along the way to observe the hundred nesting white storks. It was a truly enjoyable day and I would highly recommend this tour to appreciate more about the Algarve region.

Der Guide Antonio hat eine wunderbare, interessante Tour zusammengestellt und ist in der Kleingruppe auch auf individuelle Bedfindlichkeiten eingegangen. Es war eine sehr informative und landschaftlich beeindruckende Tour. Antonio ist ein ausgesprochen aufmerksamer, professioneller und bestens informierter Tourleiter. Diesen Ausflug kann ich allen empfehlen, die sich in der Algarve Region aufhalten.

We had a great tour to Silves castle and Monchique. Antonio is a wonderful guide who provides a lot of information for the different locations. He also made additional stops for us to take pictures along the way. We had a great day and would definitely recommend to book a tour with Antonio. We even booked three tours with Antonio by chance and could not have been happier about this.
