What to expect

This VIP tour is big on sightseeing. You'll discover the rock formations of Ponta da Piedade, enjoy a guided tour of Lagos and visit a pottery centre in Sagres. 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 get enamoured with the beaches, which is understandable given how gorgeous they are, but there's loads of cultural hotspots we'll show you on this tour. During our stop in Sagres, for example, you can head inside a pair of 500-year-old forts, both of which were built to protect the area from pirates who liked to raid along the coast."

Your tour kicks off at Ponta da Piedade for a photo opportunity of the Algarve's unique coastal rock formations. Next up is Lagos. A guided walking tour takes in Praça do Infante to see Henry the Navigator's statue as well as the building that served as Portugal's first slave market. You'll also visit the Church of St Antonio and have some free time for lunch, shopping or exploring.

Next, you'll head to Sagres for free time to explore this traditional pottery-making town and admire its fortress. 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 most southwesterly point in Europe.

    Leuke tocht, leuke uitleg onderweg. Jammer dat nog niet alles open was zo vroeg in het seizoen, maar zeker de moeite waard.
