Rejseplan
Silves er en smuk middelalderby. Det var hovedstaden i Algarve i perioden med arabisk styre og er kendt for sin rige historie og kulturelle arv. Byen er domineret af dens imponerende røde sandstensborg, som blev bygget af maurerne i det 8. århundrede og senere befæstet af de kristne konger under Reconquistaen. Besøgende kan udforske slottet og dets mure, som tilbyder panoramaudsigt over det omkringliggende landskab. Byens smalle, snoede gader er foret med hvidkalkede huse og traditionelle butikker, der sælger lokalt kunsthåndværk og souvenirs. Andre bemærkelsesværdige vartegn omfatter katedralen fra det 13. århundrede. Markedet er også et must-see.
Monchique er bedst besøgt til fods. En gåtur gennem de stejle gader i byens centrum belønnes med udsigt over storslåede bakker, glimt mellem huse, og øjeblikke af ro i ubekymrede hjørner. Vi vil parkere uden for byen, så vil vi lede dig til fods til centrum af byen. Guiden vil derefter oprette et mødested til afhentning, og derfra vil kunderne have mere end 2 timer til at nyde Monchique på egen hånd. (Inklusive frokostpaus)
Oplev den fredelige charme i Caldas de Monchique, en hyggelig landsby ofte kendt som Termas de Monchique. Det er elsket for sine beroligende termiske kilder og smukke, grønne skov omgivelser. Bare et heads-up, kun en lille spring er åben for offentligheden.

We had a great day touring with Gabriel! Seeing all the highlights and much more! Gabriel customized the tour to our need
Thank you so much. It was so easy to engage with you. :)
We were fortunate to have a second excursion with Gabriel Lima. His knowledge of history for the towns visited was extensive. We traveled on some stunning countryside roads with an abundance of oranges, lemons, avocados, and lovely wildflowers. I appreciated that he gave us some free time to explore. The walk to the natural springs at Monchique was beautiful and lifted one’s spirit. His warmth and sense of humor was a a highlight of the journey. We will miss him.
Thank you so much for your kind words. See again soon.
Thank you, Gabriel Lima, for an incredible tour of Silves, Monchique and the Foia peak last week! Plus a delicious lunch at Restaurante A Charrette. Gabriel was a great guide to this mountain region and gave us a wonderful alternative view of the Algarve away from the coast. Obrigado!
Thank you much :)
We actually did two private tours with Gabriel over the last 6 weeks. First we explored the eastern part of the Algarve at the beginning of a month long stay in Olhao. Gabriel was amazing, and showed us places we never would have discovered on our own. He took us to a great place for lunch, and we even took a slight detour into Spain. All the time he entertained us, made us laugh and told stories about the area he grew up in and loves so well. By the end of the day, we knew we found a friend. We were so pleased, we hired him to take us on a second tour when friends came to visit. This time, we visited the charming town of Silves, complete with castle, tasted the purest mountain spring water, ate a scrumptious meal in Monchique, saw amazing old cork trees and ended the day tasting some great wines. We will hire Gabriel again and again.
Such a beautiful words. You´re too kind! Thank you so much! it´s so easy to work with easy going, happy people. Hope to see you again soon :) All the best! :)
Gabriel was an amazing, knowledgeable, passionate guide throughout Silves & Monchique. What an amazing day stopping at cork trees, a castle, winery, shops, a church and then topped off by oranges delivered to our hotel the next day.
I'm so happy you're happy. It was so easy to "work" with such a easy going people. See you again soon 🙂
Beautiful green hills with some cows , stroks , horses here you can see a a lot of nature and breath some fresh air from the countryside , amazing tour for the countryside of Algarve and for our guide Gabriel our local guide he really knows the best places! I recommend this tour we will surely come back!
Thank you for choosing me again and for the kind words. I hope to see you again. Have a wonderful trip back to Norway! :)
It was our first trip to Portugal and this tour was the icing on the cake. Gabriel is an excellent tour guide who shares his love and passion for his beautiful country in such an enthusiastic way, you will certainly fall in love with everything! He went above and beyond by even adding a beautiful beach to finish off our tour. We highly recommend this tour if you wish to learn more about Silves and Monchique, oh and don't forget to drink straight from the natural springs with its alkaline water. He also took us to a fantastic restaurant by the Cork farm which was real value for money. We will be back! Kay and Jay!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. You guys are such easy going, delightfully funny, intelligent people that it is impossible not to like you. I truly hope to see you again soon. :)
We travelled to Monchique and Silves with Gabriel on his offering with GL Tours on 28 February. We had an absolutely fantastic time! Gabriel was extremely accomodating and flexible, as we had a cancelled train coming into Albufeira and met us at the station despite our delays. He crafted the tour to our tastes, including suggesting to stop for lunch at Caldas de Monchique (as we had packed a picnic lunch from home) in what was a highlight of the day excursion. He also took the time to take us to a forest with cork trees and walk us through the Algarve's rich flora, including the carob - we had never tried any before, and Gabriel went out of his way to surprise us with carob biscuits at our last stop in Monchique! An extremely sweet gesture that we will remember for a time to come (P.S. the biscuits were DELICIOUS!) We highly recommend touring the Algarve with Gabriel if you make a visit to the area, and we look forward to booking Alentejo tours with Gabriel the next time we want to travel across the Algarve and Alentejo!
Thank you for the lovely review. You described our day so well. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. I too, enjoyed it so much. You are a family of joy and this makes everything easier. I wish you nothing less than the best! Gabriel :)
You must book with Gabriel! He is funny, chatty and had fab personality. We decided to do tour last minute as we were not sure what was available and stumbled across GL Tours and what a find. He give great information on the places you visit and happy to change the itinerary so you get the best experience on the day. We stopped at beautiful silves the castle is breath taking and after Gabriel’s advice we had some lovely orange juice and cake just outside the castle it was lovely was to pass 20 minutes in such a beautiful place.After silves we had some wine tasting and was so good we bought some bottles home with us. The lady in the vineyard was extremely friendly and gave lots of information about the wines and how the vineyard had been established. We then carried on our journey to the springs, which felt like the most tranquil place ever. Off to monchique next stop and our wonderful guide gave us best advice on where to eat I had best steak of my holiday for half the price you pay in resort. Gabriel takes the time to make sure you enjoy every aspect of your trip. We have already booked him for our holiday in June.
I'm so glad you guys liked it so much. I liked it a lot too. Right from the first minuteo I realized that we would become friends. It will be great to see you again at the end of June for two more fabulous experiences in this paradise. And of course, with your favorite guide, hahaha
We recently toured Silves and Monchique, which included a wine tasting. Absolutely remarkable trip with lovely people accompanying us. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it!! Our tour guide, Gabriel, included personalized moments that were special to us based on his friendly discussions with us. He truly gets to know his clients and tries to make the experience memorable. He helped us make unforgettable memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.
Thank you very much for the kind review! Definitely, it was a very, very pleasant day. I really enjoyed meeting you and of course look forward to your next visit to Portugal.
