Hello, I am Thyl (pronounced “Teel”)  the creator of Silvestours and your guide and driver. I take joy in guiding tours on a small and personal scale. I research itineraries – often off the beaten track – and share the places that I find the most beautiful and interesting. I am an explorer and a landscape painter as well as a nature and history enthusiast. I am of mixed origin and speak English, French, Dutch and Portuguese. I am fully licensed and insured (RNAAT 376/2019). You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram (@silvestours). My phone number is (+351) 928 080 653  and my email is info@silvestours.

Meeting Point

Outside the entrance of Restaurant “Ponte Romana”.

GPS coordinates: (37.186108, -8.437531)

If you come by foot from Silves it is on the other side of the pedestrian bridge “Ponte Romana”.

If you come by car this is an easy place to park. From the highway or from Lagoa, you will descend a hill down to Silves. At the top of the hill, there is a small tunnel. You can turn left 750 meters after the tunnel, opposite a pet and garden shop, and  park your car.
