I thought this Tour gave me a brief but interesting insight into the history of Portugal and the various & mixed settlements it's had throughout the centuries. I particularly loved the picturesque town of Tavira. Anna the guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly as was Constantino the driver.
This tour between Faro, Olhão, and Tavira offers an immersion into the charm and history of the Algarve.
Start in Faro, exploring its medieval historic center, the Church of Carmo, and the stunning Ria Formosa, a natural reserve. Then, head to Olhão, a fishing village known for its Municipal Market and nearby idyllic islands like Culatra. Finally, visit Tavira, a town rich in history, with landmarks like the Castle, the Roman Bridge, and peaceful beaches such as Ilha de Tavira.
It’s the perfect route for those who want to blend culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes.
