Free walking tours in Silves

The Guru walking tour in Silves was a big surprise. Silves is quite small, but the guide knew many historical facts and fun other comments worthwihle mentioning. Big recommendation for everybody visiting Silves!

Ein sehr schöner und interessanter Nachmittag in Silves, sehr zu empfehlen!

Very pleasant guide. We learned a lot and we're glad that we did the tour rather than venturing out on our own.

Thyl is so very knowledgeable of Silves and the history of the area. His presentation was interesting and fun. I took many pictures throughout the experience. We followed his recommendation and had a lovely meal at Sergredo dos Mouros. Excellent Portuguese tapas platter. Superb service from personable staff/owners. Thank you.

This was an absolutely brilliant walking tour, both myself and my partner thoroughly enjoyed it. Thyl was very informative, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. A great guide we learnt lots about Silves that we would not have done had we not done the walk, from secrets to legends to history all rolled into one. The walking tour is a must do! Thank you Thyl:-)

Meet place was easy to find with free parking. Great ending spot for individuals to choose where to further explore. Appreciated recommendations for local tips. Liked that he often stopped to talk in the shade. Shared personal stories to enhance interest. Seemed well researched- politics, economics, history. Thank you from Canada

Very nice walk around Silves. Thyl was informative, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the walk and really enjoyed our lunch afterwards at a little spot he recommended. Great way to spend a few hours in Silves.

Great walk lots of interesting facts and fabulous way to see Silves

Thyl has a very good knowledge about history, culture and lovely insights. We highly recommend him as a guide. Thank you.

Our tour of Silves was wonderful. Thyl gave us plenty of interesting information but didn't overwhelm us with too much. The route was comfortable and picturesque.

had the absolute pleasure of joining Thyl’s free walking tour of Silves, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. Thyl is incredibly knowledgeable and made a subject I was a complete novice in feel accessible and alive. His storytelling wove together facts and personal anecdotes that made me appreciate Silves and Portugal as a whole all the more. He was also kind enough to share thoughtful recommendations from scenic drives to a where we could find a good vegetarian meal. Highly, highly recommended

Had a lovely tour with Thyl today, on a more personal way than expected, which was great, as I felt I could ask lots of questions, which is what I typically wouldn't do if in a larger group. Thyl was knowledgeable about the tour, and it was lovely to see aspects of Silves that I haven't seen or noticed before :) Thank you Thyl!

Thyl was punctual, knowledgeable, outgoing, pleasant. He provided valuable information about the area as well as the history of the area. The walk itself was not difficult with many stops along the way. We were provided with the opportunity to ask questions along the way. We would definitely recommend this walking tour with Thyl as your guide.

Very enjoyable and well done tour with Thyl.

Thyl was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide.

Thyl was great at showing us Silves, very knowledgeable and kind. Definitely would recommend

Tour was great. Lot of accurate informations. 2h30!

Warm recommendation: Silves itself is really lovely, and also has fascinating and very diverse history. Thyl shares the historical stories of Silves in a fun, engaging way. 5 stars!

the best

Thyl has a lot of knowledge about the history of Silves and surrounding.. Pleasant we of telling the story.

Really interesting information about the architecture and natural environment of Silves, as well as its religious history. And some great restaurant recommendations :)

We learned about history of Silves And other interesting things

Our guide Thyl was absolutely the best and our favorite guide with Guru yet. Thyl was a wealth of information, kind, courteous, and provided great insights to Silves, its culture, history and more. He was more than accommodating when asked to stop for a coffee and wait out a storm Even better(for us), is that we had Thyl to ourselves as the early morning weather was not so great thus not as large a group Love Sivles
