Awesome day - This was probably our favorite activity on our whole trip. Monchique was beautiful and we loved learning the history of Silves castle. Pedro shares so much info along the way and we learned so much!

Excellent experience - We loved our tour of Silves and Monchique. Pedro’s minivan was in spotless condition. We appreciated his knowledge of the area and the local ecosystem. Our lunch was delicious with an amazing view, and the wine tasting was a great experience.

Pedro is the best! - Pedro was fantastic! He took us to a very local place to try local Portuguese food by the castle in Silves. Then he took us wine tasting and made sure we got there before a big tour bus came by. We wanted to try some port so he made a few calls and took us to this wine boutique for tasting. We met the owner and had a very nice tasting with her.

Monchique, Silves, Carvoeiro tour - This was a wonderful experience! Pedro is the best and really tailors the tour to individual needs. Monchique, Slives and Carvoeiro were amazing. Pedro was able to show us many things we would not have found on our own. It was a very special day.

A great day!! - Spending this day with Pedro was a fabulous experience! His knowledge, professionalism, and patience were greatly appreciated and he showed us many beautiful views and sights and information about what we were seeing that we would never have known on our own.
His automobile is immaculate and very safe, he carries extra water as well and it was a very special day that we had .
Highly recommend booking him well in advance.

Full Day Tour in the Algarve - Pedro gave us a special day for our anniversary and it was exactly what we wanted!
Beautiful coastline, mountain views, fabulous food, hidden gems and he was very knowledgeable about the beautiful Algarve!
He went out of his way to make sure we had a great day and took some great photos for us which allowed us to just sit back, relax and enjoy the day.
We will be booking again for sure.
Thank you Pedro!

Very enjoyable and relaxing trip - Very enjoyable trip. Thoroughly enjoyed the vineyard and especially sitting on the terrace with nice wine and tapas. Silves is a lovely town and the castle was well worth a visit. Pedro was a knowledgeable and helpful guide. It was great being picked up at the apartment too. Recommended!

Half day Wine country and Authentic town - Wonderful half day tour to get away from the beach and see the countryside. It was a great addition to visit the town of Silves and the beautiful winery from Patrick. Pedro was very professional and knowledgeable of his country and area. I strongly recommend.
