The tour starts with pickup from the Albufeira area, followed by a one-hour drive during which the driver/guide explains the day's itinerary. The first stop is Silves, the old Moorish capital of the Algarve, where visitors spend about two hours exploring the castle and the well-preserved cathedral while learning about the city's history. After Silves, the tour continues for approximately 30 minutes along roads in the Monchique mountains that are inaccessible to larger buses, providing views of the Algarve coastline and countryside. Next, the tour arrives in Lagos, where travelers have two hours to explore the historical center, known as the starting point of the Portuguese Age of Discovery under Prince Henry the Navigator. Visitors may choose to have lunch independently, visit local museums, or walk through the old town to see historical sites and browse shops and handicrafts. In the afternoon, the tour proceeds to Cape Saint Vincent, the southwesternmost point of mainland Europe, historically called the End of the World before the discovery of the New World. Here, there are about two hours to view the cliffs where the land meets the Atlantic Ocean. The tour concludes with a one-hour return trip to the hotels, completing approximately eight and a half hours in total. The tour includes a driver/guide and air conditioning in the vehicle. Lunch and alcoholic drinks are not included. This full-day guided tour covers the finest historical sites of the Algarve region including Silves, Lagos, and Cape Saint Vincent.
