A fun 2-hour small-group walk through Lagos old town with Brodie: history, street stories, and a sweet ending with Portuguese tastings.

4.Portimão: Silves & Arade River History Tour on a Solar Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 148 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $49

Cruise the Arade River to medieval Silves on a solar boat, explore the town for 90 minutes, then return with wine and wildlife spotting.

“What a relaxing time we had in this eco friendly quiet boat travelling up the river to Silves. Our Pilot Freido was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Silves was well worth a visit. In our 1.5 hrs there we meandered round the narrow streets up to the castle walls which were worth paying our €1.60 each (seniors) to go around the walls and courtyard. Our journey back included wine too! I would certainly recommend this activity.”
