Overview

See the Faro most visitors never discover on this free must-do walking tour.

Discover the city’s hidden gems, charming streets, and fascinating history in a fun, relaxed, and personal way. This is the real Faro experience you can’t miss.

This tour is for travelers who want more than dates, monuments, and surface-level explanations — it’s for those who want to truly feel, understand, and experience the real magic of Faro.

No group with rotating guides here — and no big tour company. Every single group is guided by me. I was born and raised in Faro, as was my whole family, and this is my hometown.

I guide this tour the same way I’d show Faro to a close friend visiting for the first time — with care, context, and local insight.

Highlights include:

• Cidade Velha (Old Town): The historic heart of Faro with its secret stories.

• Chapel of Bones…Ria Formosa Legends…Hidden Streets & Tiles…

And plenty more along the way!

We’ll cover all Faro’s highlights and go beyond — into hidden alleys, forgotten legends, and authentic local spots most tours miss.

Perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, or anyone curious about the city.

Book now and experience the real magic of Faro.

On arrival

The Meeting point is at Jardim Manuel Bívar square, in front of the Caixa Geral de Depósitos bank.
Look for the Yellow Umbrella – that’s me, and it’s impossible to miss!

The bank building is very easy to recognize – it has a big sign that says “Caixa Geral de Depósitos.”
