Highlights
  • Je dwaalt door de kronkelende straten in het oude centrum van Faro en bezoekt de 13e-eeuwse kathedraal
  • Het gezellige drukke vissersstadje Olhao is een ideale plek om de markten af te struinen en te lunchen
  • In Tavira wandel je langs de kasteelmuren en heb je kans om iets te drinken in een café aan de oever van de rivier
  • Je snuift de zilte lucht van de Atlantische oceaan op in het gehucht Cacela Velha
  • Je lokale gids is een expert op het gebied van de historische steden en dorpen van de oostelijke Algarve
Dit kun je verwachten

De oostelijke Algarve van Portugal is als een rustige en interessante oudere zus van de populairdere en bruisende westelijke Algarve. Tijdens je tour per minibus met plaats voor acht personen tref je niet het wilde nachtleven van Albufeira aan. In plaats daarvan bekijk je met een kleine groep dorpsgemeenschappen, historische architectuur en de oudste stad van de regio. Je bezoekt Faro, Olhao, Cacela Velha en Tavira en je trekt door het glooiende landschap van het Ria Formosa Nationaal Park. Joana, een lokale gids, zegt “sommige van de plaatsen die we bezoeken dateren al uit de 4e eeuw voor Christus. Bij de lokale markten, kastelen en kathedralen vang je hier echt een glimp op van het leven door de eeuwen heen”.

Je begint in Faro, de regionale hoofdstad, waar je vrije tijd hebt om het oude centrum en de belangrijkste attractie, de kathedraal, te verkennen. Joana voegt eraan toe: “Ik ben dol op de mix van modern en middeleeuws in Faro - ik krijg nooit genoeg van de geplaveide straten en de vriendelijke lokale bevolking”. De volgende bestemming is Olhao, een dorp aan de oevers van de Ria Formosa. Je struint over de beroemde vismarkt en hebt dan wat vrije tijd om te shoppen en te lunchen - dat moet verse vis zijn, toch?

's Middags ga je naar Tavira, waar maar liefst 36 kerken staan en een kasteel, waar je een wandeling langs de stadsmuren maakt. Als we verder langs de kust trekken, langs heuvels vol olijfboomgaarden, bereiken we Cacela Velha voor ons laatste bezoek. Dit kustgehucht met slechts een handvol witgekalkte huizen heeft een eenvoudige, maar elegante kerk en een oud fort dat uitkijkt over de Atlantische Oceaan.

Lisbon tour from the Algarve with sightseeing bus and free time

Lisbon tour from the Algarve with sightseeing bus and free time

Few capitals are as diverse as Lisbon. From the tightly packed alleys of the old town to the elegant boulevards of Baixa Pombalina, it's a city bursting with charm and life – and classic yellow trams. Gonçalo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Much of Lisbon was destroyed in the 1755 earthquake, and was then rebuilt under the Marquis of Pombal's guidance into the first city with innovative earthquake-resistant designs – hence today's name for the district: Baixa Pombalina.'Things kick off reasonably early, allowing you to reach Lisbon in good time. Get ready for spectacular views over the city as you cross the Golden Gate-like 25th April Bridge over the River Tagus to the seafront district of Belém. You'll get to see Belém Tower, the Monument of Discoveries and much more. Gonçalo says, 'Belém Tower was built in the early 16th century and is an iconic symbol of Portugal's Age of Discoveries. It once stood on a small island near the riverbank, but as the river's course changed, it now sits near the shore. Over the years, it's served as a defence point, a lighthouse, a customs house, and even a prison.'Next, sightsee by bus passing by the Basilica Estrela among other sights. Your guide will then point out the best areas of the city to check out during your free time – whether you prefer to shop, dine or simply stroll streets lined with impressive buildings from Portugal's imperial days. You'll return to the Algarve via the Vasco da Gama Bridge – the longest in Europe.

Full-day guided tour of the western Algarve by private minibus

Full-day guided tour of the western Algarve by private minibus

This VIP tour is big on sightseeing. You'll discover the rock formations of Ponta da Piedade and enjoy a guided tour of Lagos. Rounding off the experience is Cape St Vincent – the Algarve's most westerly point. Tiago, one of our expert local guides, says "the Algarve area of Portugal has two main draws – its coastline and its sightseeing scene. Most people fall for the beaches, which is understandable given how gorgeous they are, but there are loads of cultural hotspots we'll show you on this tour. During our stop in Lagos, for example, you'll learn about the region's darker side at what used to be one of Europe's first slave markets.” Your tour kicks off at Ponta da Piedade for a photo opportunity of the Algarve's unique coastal rock formations. You'll see the arches and pillars – some of which have nicknames like ‘the elephant' and ‘the cathedral' – which have been sculpted over thousands of years by coastal erosion.Next up is Lagos. You'll kick things off her with a guided walking tour that takes in Praça do Infante, where you'll see Henry the Navigator's statue and learn about his exploration of the African coast. You'll also visit the Church of St Antonio and have some free time for lunch, shopping or exploring. Last but not least, you can snap a few selfies at Cape St Vincent. Also known as the ‘end of the world', it's the south-westernmost point in Europe.

Full-day Seville tour from the Algarve with a local guide

Bursting with glorious buildings, dotted with leafy parks and drenched in Andalucian colour, Seville is a must-visit. Some of Spain's most important monuments are in the spotlight on this guided tour, including the bullring, Santa Cruz and Plaza de España. You'll also have some free time to explore. Mariasol, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘I always feel uplifted when I visit the Plaza de España because it's so colourful. It is full of painted ceramic tilework, known as azulejos. Each azulejo depicts Spain's regional culture and heritage and every province is represented.'You'll strike out early for the Andalusian capital, allowing plenty of time to explore some of its cultural and architectural highlights. Once in Seville, your walking tour begins at the Moorish Torre Del Oro. You'll see Seville's bullring, the Real Maestranza, the Triana Bridge, and the Plaza d'America. Next, you'll visit the colonnaded Plaza de España – and the surrounding Maria Luiza Park. After a rest in the park, we'll continue our walking tour, which takes us to Barrio de Santa Cruz – once known as the district of Moors and Jews. This most characterful district of Seville, right in the historic centre, is overflowing with orange trees, pretty plazas and jasmine-scented patios. And before heading back, you'll have some free time to explore on your own to grab some tapas – and maybe a souvenir or two.
