Joél was an amazing guide. He is very well-versed in the history and the architecture of his beloved Tavira. The tuk-tuk is a fun way to get around! Highly recommend that you do this tour on your first day in Tavira so that you can plan to revisit many of the sites you’ll see along the way.

Joao does a wonderful job of keeping the history of Tavira alive. And once you understand the history, you begin to see the influence of the Phoenicians who arrived there years ago in the landscape and architecture which is evident to this day! A wonderful tour! History must not be forgotten! Joao also explains the economy and how it has evolved over the years. Without this tour one would just be passing by without understanding much. Recommend.
