Welcome to Silvestours. Come with us and explore the beautiful Algarvian countryside or the facinating town of Silves! We offer various combinations of Walks, Jeep Safaris and River Cruises all starting from Silves. Below is a list of our main excursions but we can also organize a custom made program. Have a look at our Tour Pages for more information and prices or visit our photo and video galleries to see what we do. Please contact me directly – by phone or email –  if you are interested in a tour. 

Hello, I am Thyl (pronounced “Teel”)  the creator of Silvestours and your guide and driver. I enjoy guiding tours on a small scale and personal level. I research itineraries – often off the beaten track – and show places and landscapes that I find beautiful or interesting. I am an explorer, a nature and history enthusiast and – in the winter months – also a landscape painter. 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.
