Silves - Winter Tours

Have you ever been to Silves?

Silves is a delightful fortified town, which was once the ancient capital of the Algarve. Today Silves has a calm and peaceful ambience, but during the Moors era, it was a major defensive stronghold and important trading town.

It is one of the best locations in the Algarve to experience authentic Portugal and to immerse in the compelling history of the region.

Remnants of this illustrious past can be seen while exploring Silves, from the huge red brick castle, the impregnatable town walls, through to the gothic cathedral which was built on the site of a grand mosque.

The town has a unique atmosphere, being very different from the hectic coastal resorts, and reflects the Algarve prior to the modern boom of mass tourism. Within the historic section Silves the town has remained virtually unchanged for more than five hundred years, with almost no hint of modern development.

What People Are Saying

★★★★★
"This was wonderful. The team was on time and had the materials. Our guide was great and very aware of our safety! He helped us in and out of the kayaks in the waves. Would recommend ! We even got to go in some small caves. "
★★★★★
"I recently completed a vintage car tour in Porto. The driver was charming and the experience was enjoyed by all. However, I do have a bit of a problem with the booking company, Experitour. After I made the booking online, nobody ever reached out to me to confirm the upcoming event. Usually, a day or two before such a tour, somebody will send an e-mail stating that the tour is going to occur soon and to review the meeting place and time. I would expect Experitour to do that since they were the company that received my online booking information. When I eventually contacted the Vintage Car Tour company, they initially had no record of my reservation. They were eventually able to find it, but I had to remind them that I went through Experitour. Not sure whose fault that was. These are minor details, but they prevent me from providing a 5-star review."
★★★★★
"Received fantastic service from experitour, always in contact with me. Unfortunately the tour was cancelled because of the Babet and Alina storms. Not their fault. Will certainly be rebooking with them next year hopefully will see the famous flamingoes. "

"I would like to get refund for the tickets €240 of this boat tour on 30/09/2023 due to the bad weather condition and the tour had been cancelled by your company/Sea Adventure.
