I'm glad I brought an extra jacket because it was windy! Definitely worth the money.Written June 17, 2024
- chrisV7538IE0 contributionsBenagil CavesI chose to go on this tour as I have been with South Explorers before and I trusted that it would be well organised. As someone who doesn’t have a great affinity with water, boats, cliffs and caves, I found it very enjoyable. It was a bit tough on my short legs going up and down the steps on the coastal walk but well worth it for the experience and views. Thank you António for another splendid outing.Written June 13, 2024
- 301angelicah0 contributionsPerfect day trip from LagosAwesome half day trip to the beautiful town of Selves and then to a lovely winery! Scenes were fantastic, wine was delicious and our guide Antonio was friendly, knowledgeable and fun! I only wish it lasted longer :) would definitely recommend this for a casual afternoon trip from Lagos to enjoy the surrounding algarve!Written June 12, 2024

Antonio is an great tour guide who is very knowledgable about the surrounding and all it has to offer, such as the history, culture and culinary, among other aspects. He is very friendly and ready to let you go and explore the souvinier shops and chitchat with the locals. We really enjoy our trip, he shows a lot of passion for his job and a lot of energy from start till the end of the trip.

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.

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.

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.

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.
