Additional Information
Join us for a riveting journey as we explore hidden treasures along our coastline such as the Benagil cave viewed from a vantage point, the Our Lady of the Rock chapel, and magnificent cliffs. We also venture into the countryside, meandering through lush orange groves all the way to the historic village of Silves, which was once a pivotal city in Portugal.
Renowned as the citadel of oranges, Silves offers what may be the most delectable fresh orange juice you’ll ever taste.
The castle in Silves isn’t just a great spot for photography but also a portal into Portugal’s past. Additionally, it homes a small museum dedicated to the Iberian Lynx, an endangered species native to the region.

Highly recommended - We had the pleasure of going on this tour with Cody and Joanna. It was exactly what we wanted to see and included Our Lady of the Rock, Porches, Praia de Marino, the Seven hidden valleys, Corvoerio, and Silves. Their car was comfortable and they gave us enough time to see each site. They were very knowledgeable about the history of the area, and told great stories. Their English was easy to understand. Super pleasant people and a highly recommended tour.

Great tour - Lovely tour of the coastline of Albufeira and orange capital of the Algarve. Cody was very knowledgeable and always had interesting little nuggets of information at each of the stops on the tour and was even kind enough to take some lovely pictures to keep at souvenirs. Was lovely to see Benagil from above after seeing it from the sea previously. We also drove through some of the smaller towns in Algarve which was lovely to see! The stop at Silves was the perfect place for the end of the tour with ample time to explore the castle and enjoy the deliciously sweet fresh orange juice. Perfect experience for anyone who wants a short and sweet tour of the most beautiful areas in Albuferia, would be great for first time visitors to the area or anyone who wants to see the main highlights in half a day.

Best Portugal Tour Ever - Cody is very friendly and speaks excellent English. We had a great tour to places off the main tourist areas and experienced some of the real Portugal. Cody has excellent knowledge of the area and its history. He had good suggestions of places to see and where to find authentic Portuguese chicken! Highly recommend him for your personal tour.
