Don’t just take our word for it, this is how our previous travellers rate this tour.
Your ideal Christmas isn’t too Faro-way, not on this yule-tide holiday by air. Head for warmer climes and fly into Portugal to discover the charms of the Algarve. From our base in the popular resort of Albufeira we tour the spectacular coastline, pretty fishing villages and picturesque resorts of this sought after holiday destination. See Sagres, a sleepy little fishing village and admire the views at Cape St. Vincent before visiting the historic town of Lagos. Spend Christmas Eve exploring Silves and Monchique, and enjoy a relaxing Christmas Day before heading into the Alentejo region on Boxing Day. And this fully escorted festive holiday doesn’t end there, as we also visit Tavira and Faro, the capital of the Algarve.
