Excursion privée d'une journée avec Guide à Évora et Monsaraz

Pedro Magalhaes is one of the most knowledgeable tour guides we've ever had. Our trip to Évora and Monsaraz was filled with facts, history, and interesting tidbits about Portugal, its past, its current state, and its buildings. The drive was long but he filled it with interesting stories about the region's history, its dependence on agriculture, its recent modernization, and its 50-year history since the Democratic Revolution. He clearly knows what he's talking about, and I felt like he was an encyclopedia of not only Portugal's history and architecture but also biblical iconography, which is very important considering the role of monasteries, castles, and convents in Portugal's history. He also took us to a lovely place for lunch, where we tried singularly unique Portuguese dishes like dogfish soup and pork cheeks, and he kept us entertained. We highly recommend using his services, and we left the tour feeling like we had a very comprehensive understanding of Portugal and its history

Excellent tour. Pedro was incredibly knowledgeable and also very responsive to our questions. Really one of the best tour guides we have ever had.

We had a wonderful day with Pedro M, our excellent tour guide. The day was perfect from start to finish. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and a wealth of information on Portugal history. He went out of his way to personalize the day for us. 5 star experience all around!

Our guide was great, very knowledgeable, flexible and had great suggestions for things to do: wine tasting, lunch restaurant

We had a fantastic private day tour with IGO on our visit to Lisbon. Our group of seven friends thoroughly enjoyed the journey to Évora and Monsaraz. Pedro A. was an outstanding guide, providing punctual pickup, safe driving, and a very comfortable car. He shared just the right amount of history about Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula, while keeping things engaging. We especially loved seeing the largest man made lake in Europe and enjoying an excellent lunch at Taverna Os Templários, a hidden gem we would never have found alone. Highly recommended, we would book again without hesitation in future.

We had an excellent private tour to Évora and Monsaraz. Our guide was highly knowledgeable about the Iberian Peninsula and Portugal’s rich history, which added real depth to the experience. He was punctual, attentive throughout the day, and made us feel completely at ease with his safe and professional driving. A highlight was his recommendation for lunch at Taverna Os Templários—an outstanding choice that we likely wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Overall, a well-organized and memorable tour that I would confidently recommend.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience on this tour to Évora and Monsaraz! I went with my family and went everything perfectly from the first moment. The guide was super friendly, attentive and very professional, always available to explain everything in detail and make the day even more special. You notice that you like what you do. The company handled everything impeccably, which allowed us to relax and take the most of the experience without worrying. It was a very well spent day, with beautiful landscapes, good food and unforgettable moments. I highly recommend to those who want to know Alentejo in a comfortable and authentic way!

We had a wonderful day in our tour of Évora. Our guide, Carlos, was amazing. We went to all the sites. Monsaraz, in the top of the hill, with the castle. We visited Bones chapel and Roman temple in Evora. Great lunch and the very friendly Carlos was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable about history. Very good 🥰

Miguel, Miguel, Miguel! THE MAN OF THE HOUR! He had extensive knowledge on the history of both Monsarez and Evora and was SUCH a pleasure to ride with! He was able to answer any and all questions we had on multiple different topics, not only on Monsaraz & Evora. He didn't rush us to the next location and let us thoroughly enjoy our time at each landmark throughout the tour. Even providing us some Easter eggs, such as the stork condominium that you'd only be able to see with Miguel 👀 and much more! If you're a history buff/ want to learn more about Portugal/ want to just have fascinating conversations with an intriguing individual, this tour with Miguel is what you've been searching for! Being in a car with a stranger could be daunting for anyone, but Miguel made us all feel extremely comfortable and welcomed. A fact that was especially important to our super introverted friend who doesn't like speaking with strangers, but ended up talking the most out of all of us! P.S. all of us agreed that the wine tasting on this tour was way better than all of the wine tastings we had throughout this trip
