UNESCO site worth seeing and Excellent guide - It was such an enjoyable tour. Our tour guide Ricky from Cool Tours was so informative and engaging. Evora is a worthwhile visit as a UNESCO site and much to see. Arroiolos was a quaint village. Overall the trip was good due to the guide being so good.

Amazing experience - Our guide, Ricky, was very erudite and engaging in sharing the history of Evora and Portugal and the landmarks. He elevated the experience from a tour of the town to an exposition of how history and culture evolve layer by layer. It was a most enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it!

Spectacularly Amazing Day! - Took this day tour with Ricky and Maria Teresa and it was superb in every sense of the word. Ricky is a great guide, teaching you something at every step. Evora is amazing; the people are lovely and the sites are priceless. Highly recommended! We did the olive oil and rug making tour in Arroilos too plus the castle there. Excellent day!

Good experience - We had a wonderful time in Evora with our tour guide Andrea. She was extremely organized, knowledgeable, and managed our experience effectively. Andrea relayed a ton of information to us while still giving us free time / time to take photos and enjoy Evora independently. She was also a very safe driver. Thank you, Andrea!

Great Evora portion of the trip. - We enjoyed the Evora portion of the trip. Since the normal second part of the trip was switched to Arroilolos due to a temporary closure, we felt it was just used as filler. We would have rather been charged less and had a half day trip. Thanks.

Not what we expected - We were disappointed to learn that Almendres Cromlech is closed for six months so the tour was not what we signed up for. Evora is a quaint town and the Chapel of Bones is quite a curiosity. In lieu of Almendres Cromlech, we stopped at a second village for olive oil tasting and a visit to the Rug Interpretation Centre. Our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and we appreciated his commentary along the way, including pointing out the stork nests in the hydro towers! It was an interesting day but not what we expected.

I liked our gide Daniel, ... - I liked our gide Daniel, he was very knowledgeable about the region. The church was beautiful. The size of the group was double the size i expected. The bus was disappointing and uncomfortable. The 2nd location was changed last minute. And the olive oil/ Wine experience was not what I expected.
