Thank you, Gabriel Lima, for an incredible tour of Silves, Monchique and the Foia peak last week! Plus a delicious lunch at Restaurante A Charrette. Gabriel was a great guide to this mountain region and gave us a wonderful alternative view of the Algarve away from the coast. Obrigado!

We actually did two private tours with Gabriel over the last 6 weeks. First we explored the eastern part of the Algarve at the beginning of a month long stay in Olhao. Gabriel was amazing, and showed us places we never would have discovered on our own. He took us to a great place for lunch, and we even took a slight detour into Spain. All the time he entertained us, made us laugh and told stories about the area he grew up in and loves so well. By the end of the day, we knew we found a friend. We were so pleased, we hired him to take us on a second tour when friends came to visit. This time, we visited the charming town of Silves, complete with castle, tasted the purest mountain spring water, ate a scrumptious meal in Monchique, saw amazing old cork trees and ended the day tasting some great wines. We will hire Gabriel again and again.

Gabriel was an amazing, knowledgeable, passionate guide throughout Silves & Monchique. What an amazing day stopping at cork trees, a castle, winery, shops, a church and then topped off by oranges delivered to our hotel the next day.

It was our first trip to Portugal and this tour was the icing on the cake. Gabriel is an excellent tour guide who shares his love and passion for his beautiful country in such an enthusiastic way, you will certainly fall in love with everything! He went above and beyond by even adding a beautiful beach to finish off our tour. We highly recommend this tour if you wish to learn more about Silves and Monchique, oh and don't forget to drink straight from the natural springs with its alkaline water. He also took us to a fantastic restaurant by the Cork farm which was real value for money. We will be back! Kay and Jay!
