Fantastic day tour of Alentejo wine region! - I had a wonderful tour with George. He was flexible and accommodating to what I was interested in seeing and a great conversationalist. The tour went longer than planned so he could make sure to show me everything in the area. I would highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful day trip to Evora and Monsaraz - To be honest, we had only two days left in Lisbon and decided last minute to try to book a tour to see Evora. We were incredibly lucky to have found Jorge with Eagle Tours to be our guide to Evora and Monsaraz. He was scheduled to be on holiday but when he was told we requested him as our guide, he graciously came to our hotel to take us. Jorge is a lovely gentleman who is rich in historical knowledge and passion for his country so we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect companion. The drive to the countryside was a nice change from the bustle of Lisbon - so green and lush with olive and cork trees and almond orchards. Jorge gave us a walking tour of Evora which we very much enjoyed before taking us to one of his favorite pastry shops tucked away on a small street in town. On our way to Monsaraz he made a special stop to show us Alqueva, Europe’s largest man made lake which was impressive as it was beautiful. Our last stop in Monsaraz gave the most amazing views of the countryside from a top the hill. We were able to visit a local wine shop for a private tasting - delicious way to end the day. Absolutely recommend this tour! Jorge is a gem of a guide and we feel fortunate to have spent the day with him.

Excellent Evora tour - My mother and I had a delightful full day tour to Evora and Monzarat with Jorge. He was our guide for one half -day and two full day tours and we could not ask for a more pleasant knowledgeable companion for our adventures. Jorge has a degree in history, so his explanations brought the story of Portugal's towns, kings, and other assorted colorful figures alive. The tous we're some of the best we've booked. Highly recommend Eagle, especially if you can request Jorge as your guide.

Amazing experience - We had an amazing three day tour with Eagle tours. Eusebio planned all the details keeping in mind all the requests we had made. Jorge was assigned to us as a tour guide. He was very professional and gave us lots of information about portugal and all the places we visited. He was kind patient and very very helpful We highly recommend Eagle tours

The Best - Eusebio Lima (Lima) picked up our group of 3 at the Lisbon airport & drove/guided us for 4 days toward the Algarve. We toured Evora, Vila Vicosa, Monsaraz, Mertola. During that time he became a friend as well as our guide. If you have the opportunity to book his company do it. You will thank me. 1st Night Hotel Quinta da Comporta 2nd Night Alentejo Marmories Hotel & SPA 3rd Night Hotel Malhadinha

Thank you Lima for your hospitality! - Had the pleasure of joining Eusebio (aka Lima) on a recent trip to Alentejo in the south of Portugal for a press trip to discover southern Portgual’s quality wine regions and producers. This is a place full of warm people and Lima was no exception. His enthusiasm for the region was infectious and the region is stunning. Great company and over all host!
