Great way to spend a day - Great way to see some interesting places. We learned a lot and had nice, informative guides with Nunu and Tiago. Our stop in the medieval town for lunch ended up being one of our best meals in Portugal -Tosca tosca.

Trip to Evora and megaliths - We really enjoyed the tour. We learned a lot about the region and had opportunities for great photos. We even went to see a few “hidden gems” which really added to the trip. It was a day well spent!

Best tour in Portugal! - This was the best tour I had in Portugal! The bone chapel was amazing! The megalithic site was also very interesting. The guide (João) was super friendly and very knowledgeable. He suggested a terrific Portuguese restaurant for lunch. I highly recommend!

Great experience of Evora ! - Our trip to Évora, Portugal, was a perfect mix of stunning scenery, and fascinating history. We began by marveling at the breathtaking views of the countryside, learning about the region’s famous cork trees. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the ancient monoliths! However, the Chapel of Bones was truly extraordinary. It was both haunting and beautiful, a reminder of Évora’s deep historical roots. We also had a great lunch from a good local restaurant, with authentic Portuguese menu, with huge servings but reasonable price. Our guide, João, was phenomenal! He was incredibly knowledgeable and kind.

Small group, very knowledgeable tour guide Juno! - My wife and I had the pleasure of going on a tour with Juno, and it was an outstanding experience. Juno did a fantastic job guiding our small group of five, offering a wealth of knowledge about Evora, and sharing interesting insights about the history and Cocks oak trees throughout the entire trip. The tour was well-organized, and we never felt rushed or lost. Juno’s attention to detail and thoughtful approach made the experience both informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend Juno as a guide – his passion and professionalism truly enhanced the whole journey!

Worth exploring! - Our guide Diogo - Tony - was very informative and added to the whole experience. We covered a lot of ground and saw many sites outside of Lisbon including interesting landmarks, the standing stones, cork trees, the market at Evora, church of bones, and a cork factory. I was pleasantly surprised by the added knowledge of the wildlife. Just an overall fun time for us as a group of strangers. I would highly recommend this tour!

Lots of Ancient History together with an understanding of the harvesting of cork & its uses! - What an awesome day trip. The cork trees were incredible. Had no idea that cork had so many used!! Then we visited the dolmens of Almendres. Incredible that the stones are older than Stonehenge! Then onto Evora. To view Roman ruins is incredible. Part of the temple is still standing! Then into the Chapel of Bones. Bit macabre! A full day trip!! Joao our guide was fantastic! His English was excellent. Highly recommended

Amazing monument, but... - Incredible monument, but difficult to access. Unbelievable for the historic caris, but the accesses are terrible, maybe because it is low season. The road to the vehicles is filled with holes filled with mud and water and the pedestrian path looked like a river. As we were from suv it all went well.
