Enjoyable stay in Evora - A very pleasant stay in Evora. We particularly liked the few hours we spent with Raquel who guided us round the City. She was very knowledgeable on the area and it's colourful history.

Fantastic tour of Évora! - We absolutely loved our Évora walking tour! Raquel prepared an excellently curated route through the old city, visiting all of the highlights (the university, the Roman temple, the center of the city, the Chapel of Bones, etc.) while providing fascinating details throughout about the history of Évora and Portugal. Her wealth of knowledge was truly impressive, and as the tour went on she adjusted some of her points of emphasis to fit our interests. And when a member of our party had to leave before the end of the tour due to an unexpected conflict, she went above and beyond, helping to ensure that the entrance staff at the chapel of bones would honor his ticket the following day. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Évora Tour with Raquel - My partner and I, seniors on our first Portugal tour, had a delightful experience exploring Évora with Raquel. Despite her youth, Raquel walked at our pace, allowing us to rest between stops. Her knowledge and care made the tour memorable. Évora's charm, coupled with Raquel's guidance, made it a highlight of our trip. Thank you, Raquel, for a wonderful experience!

A few hours in Évora - We were driving through Évora on our way to the Algarve and planned this tour in advance of the drive. So glad we did! Raquel is a marvelous guide: friendly, knowledgable, and patient. She showed us so much of the town in just over two hours and we left satisfied. Highly recommend!

Évora: A Family Adventure - Just got back from a sweet tour in Évora with my wife and kids. We rolled into town last Thursday, and this place is something else. The tour guide, took us around the city, sharing stories that brought the history to life. The kids were into it, and that's saying something. Rachael even pointed us to this restaurant where we had the best porco prieto (back pork) ever. The whole fam was happy and full. If you're ever in Évora, chose this tour. You won't be disappointed.

Family friendly tour - Raquel's Évora adventure was an absolute hoot for our family. She's got this infectious enthusiasm for the city. We explored the cute streets, the Chapel of Bones (kinda spooky, but awesome). Raquel's friendliness made the day fun for both kids and grown-ups. A family day out that rocks!

Journey through time and secrets - Raquel's Évora tour was like a journey through time and secrets. We strolled through the ancient streets, checked out the cool Roman Temple, and the Cathedral of Évora – whoa, that's a must-see! Felt like we were hanging out with a friend, not a guide. Totally recommend it for an epic day!
