Resplan
Alvor är en traditionell fiskeby där vi får lära oss om seder och traditioner hos dessa människor som har levt av havet och för havet i århundraden, med dess naturliga skönhet och charm. Vi kommer också att besöka Alvors livräddarmuseum med dess hemligheter som vår guide kommer att dela med sig av.
Efter att ha färdats längs Portimonensekusten med utsikt över dess vackra rena sandstränder, anländer vi till fästningen som byggdes 1621 för att skydda våra sjöfararförfäder från pirater som försökte plundra oss. Denna fästning har sin charm och sina hemligheter som kommer att avslöjas för er av vår guide.
Ferragudo är en vacker fiskeby med över 500 års historia, belägen vid floden Arades mynning. Dags att besöka de lägre områdena samt kyrkan som går tillbaka till byns egen tid och dess utsikt över hela floden Arade, samt slottet São João do Arade, som har varit privat i 200 år.
Efter kustutsikten är det dags att bege sig in i Silves lantliga inland, den äldsta staden i hela Algarve. Under denna resa får vi se Arades saltpannor och Harvard-vingården med sina feniciska produktionstekniker. Vi får också se de enorma apelsinlundarna, födelseplatsen för vår söta Algarve-apelsin. När vi anländer till Silves slott kan vi beundra denna magnifika antika byggnad såväl som dess arkitektur.
Eftersom inte allt är historia och kultur, kommer vi att resa genom terrängen i våra fordon för att upptäcka medronho och den eftertraktade portugisiska korken samt all dess produktion och omgivningar. När denna resa är avslutad är det dags att återvända till era rum.

Amazing guide. Very friendly and accomodating to our requests. He showed us so many things, more even than included on the tour
So many thanks
Excellent guide Antonio. Antonio made a lot of effort to speak our language (French) during the whole trip. Interesting explanation. Antonio answered all our questions. The tour included stops both at the sea and in the countryside. However, we enjoyed the 6 km 4x4 (off-road) part less. It was not indicated that we would do that in the tour on Trip Advisor. We were supposed to go at 80 km/h - 90 km/h but he slowed down because there was someone in our group who didn't like it. Our guide was attentive to our needs.
Merci pour tout
Our guide Antonio was very knowledgeable and friendly. He shared history with us as we visited various places on this tour. The trip finished off with an exciting off road experience!! Highly recommend. Many thanks Karen and Darren
So many thanks.
We had a great time. Our guide was fantastic. Highly recommend this excursion and he made sure we were back with plenty of time!
So may thanks for everything
We had a half day tour today with a pick up from our accommodation on the outskirts of Alvor. I didn’t catch the name of our guide, I think maybe Bruno, or Nuno? It was supposed to be Antonio but he was suddenly taken ill in the morning and we were contacted to try and rearrange but we already had other things booked so could only do today. It was the booking manager who came out and did the tour for us which we were very grateful for as we wouldn’t have wanted to miss this! It was so brilliant. From the moment we were picked up, until the moment we were dropped back off again, we had nothing but fun, laughs, and exceptional knowledge of all the places we visited. Our guide knew the area so well, he offered initial info, but was able to answer all our questions. He not only engaged our 16 yr old son, but also worked hard to involve our adult daughter who is autistic. We often find tour guides ignore her but he kept checking in with her to make sure she was ok. The skill of our driver also should be mentioned! The way he confidently navigated tiny roads, elbow bends, other drivers that were on the wrong side of the road! I’m so glad he was driving and not me! I honestly cannot recommend this tour enough. We learnt so much, had lots of fun, saw beaches, castles, mountains, rivers, and the storks and their nests are beyond description. And the Pastel de Nata? Utterly perfect! We have 1 regret…we wish we had booked this for one of our first days in the Algarve. We also wish Antonio a speedy recovery. From the conversations we had today with our driver, and having read other reviews on here, he is clearly a good friend and asset to this company.
Hello really glad you had enjoyed our tour. Me as the company manager iam very happy because it was me your guide. So so many thanks.
Lots of fun with a great guide.
So many thanks.
The pick up from our complex was so easy and the two tour guides were so friendly and accomodating. I struggle with high steps and so one of the vehicles was slightly lower and they also brought with them a step stool to make access easier. The two guides that we had were so knowledgeable and took us to a variety of places including a liveky coffee shop which sold the gorgeous Pastal de Nata and also some hand made almond shapes, like marzipan fruits but much better. They took us up into the mountains and shared so much local knowledge. I would absolutely recommend booking a tour with this firm.
Really glad you had enjoyed. So many thanks.
A beautiful experience ideal for getting to know the area well; Antonio is a great guide and driver, he makes you live the experience to the fullest and you learn about the culture of the area, this adventure deserves a ten.
Muchas gracias.
The 4-hr tour is organized by a group of enthusiasts who aim to present the local history and daily lives of the area's inhabitants – primarily fishing families. At the start, the guides point out symbols of the story – local monuments, a now-closed fish market, and an old fishing boat, even explaining how it was steered. Participants are then driven in well-maintained vintage Land Rover vans (air-conditioned with the windows open) through the narrow streets of Alvor, allowing them to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of bygone times. Drivers share stories about customs and the details of fishermen's lives. One stop along the route is the Fortaleza de Santa Catarina, where the interesting optical distortion effect of photographing through the barrel of a cannon standing there is demonstrated. The tour then continues through the alleys of Ferragudo (with a break at a friendly café) and past the Fort de São João do Arade castle. From Ferragudo, the route leads along very local roads through the salt pans region to Sitio da Abicada (Estômbar) on the right bank of the Rio Arade, where you can learn about local grape varieties (wine tasting is not included in the program). Next, we visit a local swimming pool on the Rio Arade, fed by natural springs, and the forecourt of Silves Castle (without visiting the paid part of the castle), where you can see the exhibition in the tower. From the castle, the tour moves to the foothills of the Sierra de Silves. There, passengers can take an off-road ride along steep local mountain roads. In summary, the tour is worth the price. However, this tour should be undertaken only by those curious about local life and history. This is the kind of history that rarely makes it into textbooks. The drivers who take care of the participants come across as passionate local patriots who genuinely want to share stories about the land they inhabit. We want to thank Mr. Antonio and Mr. Nuno (our driver) for a job well done.
We are really happy that you had enjoyed this tour, as you can realize there is so mutch more to show on the sorrounding areas, such as more offroad areas . So many thanks
My wife and I had a really good time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and really went the extra mile.
