Experience the Algarve’s finest, without the stress of navigating and finding parking in crowded areas.
Our role is to enrich you with comprehensive local information including the history, culture, and insider tips. Additionally, we ensure that you get ample solitary time to explore each location.
Please note, for our shared tours we do not facilitate multiple pickup points.
Thus, the tour commences from a singular gathering point, specifically, the public parking area opposite Vila Galé Cerro Alagoa hotel promptly at 9:00 am, concluding at the same location.
Punctuality at each stop is crucial.
While at the old town of Lagos, parking will be outside the city walls. From there, a guided walk towards the town center will occur, providing pointers about dining options and points of interest. Subsequently, a meetup location for the return journey will be designated. Guests will then have over 2 hours to leisurely explore Lagos individually.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
- Not recommended for people who can barely walk. This tour has quite a few walking tours.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
