Lunch and drinks are on you. 4.69 from 413 reviews at €65 per person for 8h. ## Overview Start the tour after being picked up from the Albufeira area. First historical visit is the Cape Saint Vincent also known as the End of the World before the discovery of the new world. This is the most south western tip of our mainland Europe where you can enjoy amazing views of the beautiful cliffs where land meets the Atlantic ocean. Next visit is the historical city Lagos. Here you have various options like lunch, visiting museums or just exploring its old town and admiring the historical sites. In the afternoon we continue our journey toward the Monchique region, this by roads where the big buses can’t go and therefore possible to enjoy amazing views over the Algarve’s countryside and learn about the interior culture. During the drive there will be several photo stops, so you can enjoy the best of it. We will visit the old Moorish capital of Silves, with its amazing castle and well preserved cathedral and learn about its history. From Silves we make our way back to the hotel. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 141 pickup points - Starts 09:00: one departure a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available ## Key facts - Price: from €65 per person - Duration: 8h - Rating: 4.69/5 from 413 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 91% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Alsafari Tours ## What's included - Air-conditioned vehicle - Driver/Guide ## Not included - Lunch - Alcoholic Beverages ## Itinerary 1. **Albufeira** (1h) - This is where we will start the tour heading to the city of Silves and we will explain you what you will see during the day. 2. **Silves** (2h) - Explore Silves city, the first capital of the region of the Algarve. 3. **Cape Saint Vincent** (2h) - Watch the amaizing views from a place that it's called the end of the world, back to the time of the portuguese discoveries.
