Silves e Monchique Tour de ônibus de dia inteiro
Descrição
Embarque em uma viagem paisagística pelas paisagens interiores do Algarve nesta excursão de ônibus guiada para as encantadoras cidades de Silves e Monchique. Descubra a história mórria da região e desfrute de vistas deslumbrantes da paisagem e do rio. Sua primeira parada é Silves, uma cidade cheia de história, uma vez a capital do Algarve durante o domínio islâmico no século 11. Dominado pelo impressionante Castelo Silves, uma fortaleza maura, a cidade oferece vistas panorâmicas da paisagem e rio circundantes.

Itinerário
Comece sua excursão com um hotel de pick-up, e depois viaje para o norte para a antiga cidade de Silves, sua primeira parada do dia. Casa de um magnífico castelo mauro cercado por casas cobertas de terracota, a cidade tem história e belas paisagens em igualdade de proporções. Com sua elevada localização no topo da colina, a cidade foi uma fortaleza estratégica importante para os mouros após sua invasão no século 8. A riqueza fluiu para Silves durante o auge da Idade Média, mas foi destruída após um século de lutas de poder e um terremoto devastador. Grande parte da arquitetura de hoje tem origem no século 19, quando Silves voltou a ficar em destaque.
Admire a arquitetura e os pontos turísticos, como a Catedral de Silves enquanto passeia pelas ruas que levam ao Castelo de Silves. Pague a taxa de entrada e, em seguida, entre nas impressionantes fortalezas para explorar. Restaurado em 1940, acredita-se que o castelo data o século XI e suas características, como os cofres centrais, foram belamente preservadas. Admire as vistas panorâmicas sobre a cidade e Algarve das muralhas do castelo e, em seguida, retorne ao seu ônibus com seu guia.
Nas montanhas de Monchique iremos até Fóia, o ponto mais alto do Algarve, com tempo livre para tirar fotos, visitar uma loja local com artigos artesanais e uma oportunidade de provar um dos licores típicos da região. Admire as vistas de Fóia, a montanha de 2.959 pés (902 metros) que atinge todo o Algarve. Aproveite as vistas do ponto mais alto do Algarve, e depois volte ao seu autocarro para a viagem de volta ao seu hotel.

Silver & Monchique were both neat places to walk around. The tour was supposed to include the castle in silvers, but it was closed May 1 for Labour Day, which no one told us about. Our tour guide said, oh but you can have a nice coffee!
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding Silves Castle. As May 1st (Labour Day) is a national holiday in Portugal, some monuments may have altered schedules or may be closed. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control. We understand that this may have been disappointing and regret any impact it had on your experience. Your feedback is very important to us, as it helps us continuously improve our service.
There’s a lot of history on this tour that we learned, we d joyed watching the mommy stork bird watching the baby in the nests there’s many nests along the way. Ana was very knowledgeable about the places Silves and Monchique, about the spa, cork industry, eucalyptus and the 9.5 alkaline water, very highly recommended tour.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback and the time you took to share your experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future.
Very nice travel and experience . Nice guide and transport. Good explanation but we needed more time to explore
Not much time at the view point mountain Monchique only half an hour given yet spent there bet 2 hours at the village which had very limited things to do and see
Dear Michael, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the time spent at the Monchique viewpoint felt too short compared to the duration at the village. Our aim is always to provide a balanced and enjoyable experience for all our guests. In some cases, the time allocated in certain locations may include breaks such as lunch, which can affect how much time is available for sightseeing. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue to review and improve our itineraries.
The ticket was booked three days prior to the trip. On the day of the trip we were early at the place and time indicated on the ticket. No one came so we called 5 minutes after the pickup time to find out if someone was coming. The operator said the trip had left and we were to be at another location. 1/2 hr earlier. An email had been sent. I looked for it and found one in my trash that had 1/2 a page of lines of numbers etc-to a link. It looked like spam so had not opened the email. No sympathy from operator, said it was Viator’s responsibility. When I chatted with Viator they said it was operator that should deal with this. No offer of another tour or refund. They seem to have a poor sense of customer service. Would not recommend booking with Viator or the operator.
Hi Evelyn, we're sorry to hear about the problems with the pick-up location and that the confirmation email ended up in the spam folder. In the product description we state that the pick-up location will be confirmed within 24 hours of booking. If we are contacted in time and the driver is still in the area, we ask him to go back, but unfortunately this was not the case. We will review our procedures and see if there is a way to make the email confirmation clearer. We thank you for your feedback.
I booked this tour for my parents as a gift in May. The bus never turned up to their hotel at the time promised. No effort was made to contact my parents and no refund was offered by this "tour" company. Avoid this tour and company at all costs.
I enjoyed the tour. It was not too rushed and very relaxing. Our guide knows a lot of information about the place and the local food. And I love the fact that I was picked and dropped to the hotel, very convenient.
Loved Silves and the history! No idea why we stopped in Monchique for lunch. There were only a couple of restaurants and they had challenges accommodating us. Skip Monchique and spend longer in Silves with more restaurants.
The castle was very interesting and the views were great. The mountain village was lovely and the views down the mountain were fabulous. The tour guide was great, lots of interesting things to say and so helpful. The bus driver was very good
Absolutely worthless, the tour operator lady was very terse, unfriendly and at all three sites, just leaves you at bus door and that was it. I understand she was obese and not wanting to walk but lot of very old and frail people were able to walk to the old sites and tourist spots. She did not care to walk or be helpful at all. Secondly the pickup locations were misleading, the location with Faro address is almost 30 miles away from Faro city; for tourists being new to area this should be clarified better. I had to get an expensive taxi to reach the nearest pickup location.
