A must tour!! So informative, loved the history.
Our guide, John, was absolutely the best. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, a fantastic driver, and so much fun to spend the day with. As a local, he took us to spots off the usual tourist track, shared great stories, and gave us so much history. Lunch was at a fantastic restaurant, and they even showed us their wine cellar and some of the behind‑the‑scenes areas. An unforgettable experience.

We had a really great...
We had a really great tour with Gui to Evora and Monsaraz. Gui has done a lot of reading on Portuguese history and so was able to share lots of anecdotes about everything we saw. He was willing to entertain our questions on culture and the drive really went quickly because we had good conversations with him on a wide range of topics.

This was a great tour of...
This was a great tour of two beautiful towns full of history and wonderful things to explore. Évora is lovely and extremely walkable, the chaple of bones is a must see. Monsaraz was so unique and beautiful. Also walkable but not level ground so can be steep and slippery. Our guide Gui was great and made the tour lots of fun. Highly recommend.
