Highlights
- Templo Romano de Evora (Templo de Diana) - The Roman Temple of Évora is one of the grandest and best preserved Roman temples in the entire Iberian Peninsula, having been considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. It is the city’s ex-libris, a kind of visiting card, so known as the Chapel of Bones.

- Capela dos Ossos - The Capela dos Ossos comes to many people’s minds when they talk about Évora. Because it’s scary or simply because it’s a monument like any other in the city. They are all spectacular, if it weren’t for Évora being a World Heritage Site, but some… are truly more fascinating than others!
- Cathedral of Evora (Se Catedral de Evora) - The cathedral! Its silhouette can be seen in the distance in the urban landscape. Better known as Évora Cathedral or Sé de Évora, its real name is Basilica Sé de Nossa Senhora da Assunção. It is the largest medieval cathedral in Portugal and has no parallel in the rest of the country.

A unique place that gives rise to surprising wines of superior quality, originating from a microclimate that positively affects the vineyards planted since 1998. A history that has always been guided by rigor, demand and attention to the smallest details.

Beautiful place! This tour was a pleasantly unexpected experience! - It is an area with medieval castles, one of the oldest areas of Portugal, beautiful, green and full of narrow and stone roads. Gui, our guide was very professional, patient and our driver very friendly and respectful. It is an ideal tour for a small group.

A wonderful day soaking up sunshine and history in Évora… - We took this tour in September, with Marco as our guide. My husband, daughter, and I were the only ones who booked this tour that day, so essentially we got a private tour!
Marco, our guide, was just fantastic. For one, it was an hours drive from Lisbon to Evora, and Marco immediately made us feel at ease. By the day’s end, I felt like we were being guided by a good friend and not merely a hired guide.
Two, he is extremely knowledgeable about Evora and the surrounding area - and he was so enthusiastic in sharing that knowledge with us.
We had considered taking the train to Evora on our own from Lisbon, but we quickly realized that having Marco as our guide was the better choice. Everywhere we went, he had insightful, informative comments that greatly enhanced our visit.
This tour included a visit to the old Roman temple, a cathedral nearby (which, honestly, was my favorite part of the tour) where we also walked on the roof, and had great views over the town of Evora and the surrounding countryside. We also visited a former monastery that is now a museum, and of course, the Chapel of Bones. The latter is truly fascinating and well worth a visit.
We had a wonderful, delicious lunch at the museum’s cafeteria terrace.
The final visit was to a winery not too far from Evora. Honestly, this was the only disappointing part of the visit. While the winery grounds are beautiful, and the stagecoaches museum fascinating, the wine-tasting itself was disappointing. Our tour included just two wines for tasting, a white and a red, and I really did not care for either. (And I like wine and drink it regularly, and I generally like Portuguese wine). I would have rather taken this time and visited another historical site nearby. (But this was not our tour guide’s fault, of course. But maybe a suggestion for the tour company.)
But overall, I was very, very happy with this tour and again, with our guide, Marco. Both his guidance and the town of Evora exceeded our expectations. If I ever return to Portugal, I would love to return to Evora to explore the town and area further.
Thank you, again, Marco, if you get an opportunity to read this!
And I also apologize for not writing this review sooner.
We very much enjoyed our day in Evora. It was a highlight of our trip to Portugal.

Great Time - I was the only person on the English tour and I am so happy that they didn't cancel. The countryside was beautiful, lunch was great at A Bruxa D'Evora Restaurante, and a personal wine tour and tasting. Mario was a great tour guide.

This was a good small... - This was a good small group experience. The guide was knowledgeable about the area, he spoke very well and adapted the tour to meet the needs of the group. The towns were gorgeous. The wine tour was interesting and a more clear description of that part of the day would have been helpful. The wine itself was a very very small part of the experience and based on the title we thought it would be more of a focus. Maybe a different winery would help.
