Grand Lagos & Cape St. Vincent Bus Tour
Description
Immerse yourself in the rich history of the Portuguese Discoveries on a half-day trip to the West Algarve with an expert local guide! In addition to the golden Church of St. Anthony, a national monument, Lagos is home to what was once one of the main slave markets in Europe during the 16th century. Pay a visit to the Antonine Museum inside the church to explore historical relics, and stop by the Statue of Prince Henry the Navigator to discover Lagos’ significant role in the Age of Discoveries. Further west, Sagres is home to a beautiful, well-preserved fishing port, near its 15th-century fortress. A visit to Cape St. Vincent, once known as the "End of the World," is a must.

Seeing Lagos and St. Vincent Cape were very memorable. We just spent most of the day picking up people and driving which made it tiring for elderly folks.
Ok if you like spending hours on a coach,the sights were ok but it was just too long on a bus,would be better if the guide told everyone to keep to the same seats when the return to the bus,a lot of bickering from the French and Germans,us Brits just kept a siff upper lip
The trip is worth the price. When stopping in Lagos, go straight to the small beaches. They are stunning! Then, you won't stop in Sagres and you will have 40 mins for St. Vincent Cape. Bear that it's really windy there in mind and take a jacket.
We had hoped longer in sagres and cape st. To be Vincent. Sagres we didn't even stop, at St. Louis. Vincent we could certainly have enjoyed much longer!
Unfortunately, it has turned us off large bus trips for good. Even though the sights were excellent and we so much enjoyed seeing Lagos, Sagres & Cape St. Vincent, the bus trip was not enjoyable at all. We never complain but firstly my family, husband and daughter were separated from one end of the bus to the other and we were not given the opportunity to change at any time during the trip. Most people were not friendly towards us and we had this constant, extremely loud tour guide that mostly spoke in a different language the whole trip which resulted in us all having a headache. Never again. All our other tours were with a mini bus and they were excellent but totally booked out for this tour, so we thought this would just as good, little did we know.
We had a great time and everyone was so friendly and accomodating. remember to carry some drinking water. Great stunning views and pictures.
<p>Fairly good, we had an hour in Lagos,not much time to do anything. A 20 min photo stop, a 20 min stop at Cape St. Vincent and a drive past Sagres harbour. It was OK but nothing startling.</p>
<p>This was a terrific tour to the Algarve's furthest point west. Our tour director was very knowledgeable and forthcoming with information and insights. Really appreciated the extra time in Sagres!</p>
<p>Total duration of trip7hrs actual sightseeing time2hrs the rest of the time is spent picking up and dropping off the passengers 3hrs and travelling2hrs. This tour is not a good value for money or time spent !!</p>
<p>This tour could be greatly improved if the number of customers and size of the bus were reduced. For 1.5 hours sightseeing we had to endure 4.5 hours of hotel pick ups and drop offs as well as the travel time to the destinations</p>
