Best walking tour I've taken - highly recommend!

Published on May, 2024

This was an amazing and very personal walking tour of Silves - highly recommend! Francisco lead us through the market (met his grandmother who sells produce in the market), the town, by the church, the museum (an amazing guided tour through the museum), and the palace giving us so much information about the history of the area. As a local who grew up in Silves he is incredibly knowledgeable about the area. You will not be disappointed if you take this tour!
