Wear good walking shoes. It is a long day, but highly recommend this tour! Hugo was a fantastic guide.
There were 6 of us and we had a great day trip from Lisbon. Enjoyed both towns and the weather was perfect. Nice change of the busy city we experienced the 2 days prior.
Hi 𝗿𝘁𝟱𝟯𝟵! 😊 Thank you so much for your wonderful review and enthusiastic title - "Excellent day tour"! We're absolutely thrilled that your group of 6 had a great day trip from Lisbon! When entire groups experience such positive journeys together, it creates wonderful shared memories. It's fantastic that you enjoyed both towns! Évora and Monsaraz each offer such unique, distinct character - Évora with its Roman heritage and UNESCO World Heritage status, and Monsaraz with its medieval hilltop charm - and we're delighted you appreciated both destinations. And we're glad the weather was perfect! When nature cooperates, it truly enhances the entire experience and allows you to fully enjoy these beautiful historic towns. We're especially pleased that it was a nice change from the busy city you experienced the 2 days prior! This recognition that the tour provided a refreshing contrast - escaping Lisbon's urban energy to discover the peaceful, authentic atmosphere of the Alentejo region - shows the tour's value in offering diverse Portuguese experiences.

These two cities are really worth going to especially Monsaranz it is quiet and very unique. Also this area of Portugal looks like Napa CA
Hi 𝗖𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮_𝗙! 😊 Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you found these two cities really worth going to! Evora and Monsaraz truly represent some of Portugal's most authentic, historically rich, and visually stunning destinations, and we're delighted that you felt the journey was so worthwhile. We're particularly happy that you found Monsaraz especially noteworthy! This enchanting medieval hilltop village truly is something special - its quiet, peaceful atmosphere and very unique character, with whitewashed houses, narrow cobblestone streets, ancient castle walls, and breathtaking panoramic views over the Alqueva Lake and endless plains, create such a timeless, magical experience. It's one of Portugal's most beautifully preserved and authentically charming villages, and we're thrilled it resonated so deeply with you. We absolutely love your observation that this area of Portugal looks like Napa, CA! This comparison is such a wonderful compliment - both regions share that perfect combination of rolling vineyard landscapes, outstanding wine culture, stunning rural beauty, and that special quality of light that makes wine country so captivating. The Alentejo region truly is Portugal's premier wine territory, with world-class wines, beautiful estates, and that same relaxed, sun-drenched elegance that makes Napa so beloved. We're honored that you saw these similarities and appreciated the exceptional wine country character of this beautiful Portuguese region! Your insights about the quiet, unique nature of Monsaraz and the Napa-like landscape will be so helpful for other travelers considering this tour, especially those who love wine regions and authentic, peaceful destinations!
