Wonderful time with Joao - Joao was extremely knowledgeable . He took his time in explaining all details about the places we visited. It was incredible the amount of information he provided to us. It was definitely a pleasure having him as our guide.

Beautiful historic countryside experience for family - I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Lisbon. António is so friendly and knowledgeable about the entire area. The drive is a little long from Lisbon (we brought a deck of cards and our three kids were able to entertain themselves) but António gave us an excellent overview of the history of the countryside surrounding Lisbon and Évora. The cities we visited were very impressive. My two younger ones (ages 10 and 7) thought the Chapel of Bones was too spooky but my 13 year old thought it was very cool. The communication from Jump in Tours was excellent - they confirmed our pickup location ahead of time, and easily accommodated some last minute changes we had to make because of the local workers strike.

Great - Our Guide Antonio was nice and superb.One of the best tours I have ever done.We hit all of the top spots and had a fabulous Portuguese lunch. This was a great trip, long day from Lisbon, but was able to experience some of everything that we had hoped to see. Really enjoyed. I would highly recommend it.
