stupendous tour of Neolithic and prehistoric sites
Spectacular-we got to see a wonderful array of Neolithic and very prehistoric sites. These are difficult to see elsewhere-go before it becomes commercialized then closed to the public as Stonehenge has become. Pedro is an excellent guide and host to his area; very much enjoyed lunch at his father in law’s very Portugués restaurant. My only suggestion is he provide water in the am and pm as other tours do—very small point in otherwise outstanding fun and educational experience

Metgalitic and Cave Tour
Pedro was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Megalithic sites. He was professional, shared his personal experiences and provided good recommendations for other sites to see in Evora. We had a very tasty traditional Portuguese lunch too! There were 2 issues. Getting in and out of the van was difficult for a couple of the guests because the step off was too high. An easy solution is to have a one-step short ladder. The other issue was that the cave tour was limited, didn’t go very far from the entrance and no photos were allowed, even without a flash. Otherwise a great tour, highly recommend!

Magical investment of time immersed in the Anthropology of the Alentejo.
Pedro picked us promptly at our hotel and was engaging and informative on the 20 minute drive to a small dolmen, carefully chosen for scale so we would appreciate the size of the larger ones. Next to the first cromlech known only to locals. Beautiful setting in a cork oak grove. After an impressive visit to the Almendres cromlech, we went to a delicious lunch in Montemor-a-Novo, where the entertaining owner sang the menu. Whisked to an afternoon tour of the Escorial cave with prehistoric art and then to the City’s castle, a real treat. It it well worth the investment of time to visit these world-class assets with a knowledgeable guide and we fully recommend Burriscas Adventure for an immersive and, yes, really fun day. We’ll work with them again. Jon and Terre
