Additional Information

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Rock, perched atop a vast cliff… This gem situated in a rocky alcove overlooking the sea was formerly a fortress constructed to safeguard fishing villages from pirate invasions. Our next destination is Silves. A land of Arab princes and princesses, knights, and ancient myths, let this captivating locale enchant you. A mesmerizing and indelible journey through Silves’ history, cuisine, and inhabitants.
Following a meal in Silves, we proceed to Carvoeiro. Carvoeiro beguiles guests with its scenic allure and old-world appeal. The first impression of Carvoeiro is its impressive coastline and translucent turquoise waters that offer an awe-inspiring panorama.
For walking enthusiasts, there’s the opportunity for a brisk, delightful stroll along the rocks via a wooden walkway, between AlgarSeco and Carvoeiro, where two coastal treasures lie.
Our final halt will be at the viewpoint of Marinha Beach.

Knowledgeable, Friendly, Passionate & Professional. - A great tour guide possesses a unique blend of skills and qualities and I’ll try to highlight our experience with Johnny. He clearly and engagingly conveyed information about the people & locations we were visiting and was fantastic at keeping the group's attention. Johnny has an in depth knowledge about the places we were touring including history, culture. He was very interested to answer any of our questions. Johnny’s friendly demeanour & very approachable style offered a quick connected with our group, making the tour more enjoyable and memorable. Johnny’s flexibility & adaptability for our need to do a Sunday tour meant changing up his routine a bit. A lot of churches & museums were closed; but Johnny quickly adapted a day of touring that we thoroughly enjoyed. Johnny has a tremendous enthusiasm for the Algarve location in Portugal. His passion enhances the overall experience. I would highly recommend Johnny’s Tours.

Wonderful full day tour in Algarve! - Johnny was such a great guide! Really attentive and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. We were in Albufeira for 2 days and he took us on a private tour to Lagos, Silves and multiple beaches in between. He was very thorough in his tour with lots of fun facts throughout the day. Highly recommend a private tour because johnny was able to change our plans according to the weather to make sure we got the most out of our day. Definitely worth your time and money! Thanks Johnny!
