Lovely afternoon - We had a lovely afternoon with António. Met some wonderful people from Australia and the U.S. Silves was a charming town and we thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the Moorish Castle but we especially loved our visit to the Quinta Do Frances winery. Our group celebrated an anniversary, a birthday and my being 30 years cancer free! Highly recommend this tour.

Best day in Algave! - Best wine tour i’ve attended! We were guided by Rui and we had such a fun and informational day. Our best day in Lagos all thanks to Rui! We learned about wine, but also about the Algave region and it’s great biodiversity and history! You should 100% book this tour.

Rui Fantastic Wine Tour Guide - Our guide Rui was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, providing excellent service. The vineyard was beautiful, and all the wines we tasted were delicious. Small group of 7 people made it an intimate fun experience. Wish we had more time to stop in Silves, but that was also a great small city to visit. Highly recommended for a half day trip!

Excellent choice for wine lovers. - Excellent personalized visit in a family vineyard where we speak French. The screws are excellent. We're picked up at the Pension gate and taken back.

A brilliant tour, thank you! - We had an amazing tour with Rui! As it turned out, we were the only ones on the Monday morning tour. So we had our own personal tour. Rui was a fun and informative guide. The historic town of Silves is really interesting, we were given half an hour to explore and walk through the Main Street. Then off to the vineyard, which was really lovely. A small family run and very friendly vineyard. We had 4 nice wines to taste accompanied with a lovely tapas. Plus, Rui had picked some fresh figs on the way which he shared with us during the wine tasting. He then gave us a tour of the wine cellar and explained the process of wine making. We have done wine tours in New Zealand and Australia and never had the experience of a cellar tour. It felt very intimate and not too commercial. No pressure to buy wine but of course we took home a few bottles. They were very reasonably priced. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend.

Nice winery, the rest was average - The trip to the winery was nice, with good and interesting wines. Our guide was very talkative, but hard to hear from the back seat of the van. The trip to Silves was not very interesting without specific guiding. I would've preferred a second winery instead.

Don’t waste your time - The tour wasn’t as advertised so bailed at Silves, got a taxi back to Lagos then got a full refund from the tour operator.
