Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about history! It was well worth the money. We Are so glad we booked this tour.
I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Anildo, led us on a fabulous walking tour of Evora. Anildo was both knowledgeable and personable. The Chapel of Bones was probably the highlight.
Enjoyable tour of the university, fortifications, bone chapel and the Roman ruins. Anildo, our guide, was knowledgeable and accommodating. Lots of walking on stone and it radiates heat. Only Intermittent shade available, so early morning or late afternoon touring is highly advisable.
A walking tour of Évora is well worth it for all you learn about the university and many other city landmarks. In addition to the university we visited the cathedral, The Chapel of Bones, St. Francisco church, and the Roman temple. Our guide was very nice and very knowledgeable. He adjusted the tour due the rain which we appreciated.
Our guide Andre led a perfect tour with our family. Besides showcasing the best attractions in Evora, he took us on a journey through the local history in a didactic and very enjoyable way. I highly recommend this tour!
