Additional Information

The Algarve is enchanting with its premium tourist offerings and still maintaining its distinctiveness, which is clearly evident in the indigenous villages and local activities.

The Porches Pottery workshop stands out as one of the finest examples of this art, as it continues to uphold many of the old-fashioned manufacturing techniques. Here, you can observe the artisans handcrafting and painting the pottery.

Perched above the Atlantic, Benagil, a fishing village, boasts a small yet scenic beach, the activities of the village are accompanied by the constant sound of the Atlantic. Moving towards the Carvoeiro resort, we visit Algar Seco, a location famous for its spectacular caves and grottoes sculpted by the coastline over hundreds of years. Take a leisurely walk through the Ferragudo village, meandering through the stone-paved streets and down to the miniature harbor.

The tour concludes with a visit to a winery where you can join a guided tour and sample some of the wines produced locally.

Informative Algarve - a fabulous trip. - What a wonderful day exploring the history and landscape. It combined all the places we were trying to visit and wine tasting too, which we’d never done on any of our previous visits. We watched some ladies painting pottery at Porches. Our guide Michael gave us so much information about life in the Algarve. He was brilliant. We visited several places and had time for a visit to the caves at Carvoeiro, and Algar Seco, which is one of the places we wanted to visit on this holiday. We bought our own lunch at Port Arcade. I can highly recommend the food, but we did have to wait over 50 minutes for the dishes from the point of order. This took all of our 1.5 hour stop. The mixed meat kebab was delicious. Prices were very reasonable. The winery - relatively small local vineyard, with an expanding business. The visit was informative and clearly had good wines to sample. White, Rose, and red. Reasonably priced to purchase too. This trip showed the more local and traditional aspects of the Algarve. Perfect for our group of 4 ( Grand parent, parents, and 18 year old). Highly recommend.

Absolutely worth it! - The views were amazing and the winery stop with the wine tasting was fabulous. Our driver Loes was the best and so was the young man at the winery. We highly recommend it!

Good value - This trip was excellent as you were taken to see various views around Algarve, as well as the pottery and wine tasting visits. The 1.5 hr stop for lunch was great with a good choice of a variety of eating places. The vehicle was comfortable and Tom, the guide, very friendly and informative.
