Topgids Mario loodste ons door deze trip. In monchique eigen betoverende kleine dingen zoals een bron laten zien. Vol overgave vertellen over de vruchten en tonen. Heel fijne gids, aanrader omdat het een kleine groep is

Der Ausflug wurde auf Englisch, Deutsch, Französisch und Portugiesisch angeboten. Wir wurden nicht gefragt, in welcher Sprache wir diesen Ausflug buchen wollen. Vorgesetzt wurde uns ein Englischsprachiger Tourguide. 90% haben wir nicht verstanden. Außerdem wurde man überall nur rausgekippt (ne halbe Std. hier, 20 Minuten da) man hatte nicht viel Zeit zum gucken. Die Tour hat sich für uns nicht gelohnt. Sehr schade ☹️

Great tour run by Alsafari - lovely clean VW people carrier with plenty of leg room. Andreas was a very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable tour guide. It was a whistle stop tour as it was only half a day but that suited us fine. Would definitely recommend any tours by Alsafari

Nice way to spend 4 hours+, fantastic scenery that you wouldn't get to see without going on the experience. The driver was excellent, his knowledge of the areas we visited was impressive and such a nice guy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Silves and Monchique. Both villages were calm, peaceful, and full of history. The highest peak in the Algarve, Fóia, offered spectacular views across the region and the Mediterranean Sea. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very helpful.

Fantastic trip to Silves and Monchique. Paulo was an amazing tour guide. So friendly and chatty. Loved everything about the trip. Seeing the storks in their nests was such an amazing site. Once in a lifetime experience to see them.

We were picked up at the hotel at 9.00 am. Despite the torrential rain, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The guide was very attentive and informative and looked after us well. He stopped at opportune moments so that we could take photos of interesting views. There was time to stop for coffee and cake and a walk round Silves castle and the cathedral. A good morning’s excursion. Thank you!

Schöne Rundtour mit vielen landschaftlichen Eindrücken. Leider findet die Tour nur auf englischer Sprache statt. Ein technisches Mittel für die Sprachübersetzung wäre Empfehlenswert ,da auch viele ältere Teilnehmer diese Reise Buchen.

Er was per mail wat miscommunicatie over het ophaalpunt, maar toen ik ze belde werd ik keurig te woord gestaan en ze losten het voor me op. Leuke gids die veel wist.

Onze chauffeur Mario: een topper! Nam alle tijd voor uitleg. Plukte aardbeien van de boom om te laten proeven, plukte granaatappels voor ons enz enz.
Tijd maakte niks uit. Complimenten voor Mario.

Silves (fortress & cathedral) were well worth seeing, as was the countryside. Windy and cold at top of Monchique. View was hazy and obscured by poles and wires. No public toilets there. Would have liked to have learned more about the harvesting of cork.

Mario was an engaging and informative guide. He went beyond the description enthusiastically and proactively.
We learnt so much more about Albuferia and Portugal.
So we recommended it to other residents in our hotel
Perfect when you only have a short stay
