Description
Know about stories about hate and love, courage and skill, friendship and family. Tales about our city that made it as it is today. Curiosities of the ancient everyday life, that became a tradition. Legends that became real. Stories about the most common mortals to the most important personalities in Portuguese history. Évora has been one of the most important cities of Portugal, coveted by other nations.
We will unveil the most interesting mysteries that are not told in a typical Évora city tour. Let’s walk the streets while we capture the city’s beauty. We’ll stop at some places to tell you what happened there, or what connection that site has with the story that we want you to know.
We may or may not enter the most well-known monuments; we do not have a scripted tour. We want you to enjoy the city while you get to know it in a more profound way. This is a unique, relaxed and unforgettable way to visit Évora, the city where the stones breed history.

Steaming Hot Tour of Evora
Fabio was an excellent guide to the historical sights of Evora. He showed up on time, was a wealth of knowledge and did his best to keep us out of the direct sun on a 40+ C day. He even got us bottles of water to revive our spirits part way through our tour of this fascinating place. We recommend him to anyone.

Terrific Tour
A thoroughly lovely walking tour with a great guide. Because of the season, it was just the two of us, but our guide was thorough, friendly and complete. Hard to imagine Evora would provide a three hour tour, but it did indeed. We would book this again in a heartbeat.

Excellent walking tour
We booked a 3 hour walking tour in January. Fabio, our guide, was full of knowledge and a great storyteller about the history of Portugal, and the stories of Evora through the last 2,000 years. We loved all the different places he introduced us to that we would not have otherwise visited, like the University, and to gain more of an understanding of places we had seen on our own like the Roman Temple. Highly recommend this company and its tours.

5 Star Walking Tour of Évora
João's tour exceeded our expectations! He is a great storyteller, extremely knowledgeable about the history of Evorá and Portugal, and was able to answer any and all questions asked. Our highlights were some of his 'secret spots' he took us to, that we never would have known about. He gave excellent dining recommendations, which we tried and loved. Thank you João, for sharing your passion for this wonderful city!

Great tour to get a thorough understanding of the key points in Evora's history.
This was a fantastic tour. Joao had a seemingly unlimited supply of stories, both historical and folklore. Instead of racing down streets, pointing out buildings with random facts, we stopped for a few minutes and listened to a well-planned backstory with references that tied different stops together. Then we'd move to another spot where we'd again pause for a bit to fully understand how a site fit into the bigger story. In our opinion, this is much better than some walking tours that try to check off every single monument/building and leave you with a bunch of disjointed facts you'll never remember. We definitely recommend this tour.

Historical tour
Interesting tour but I would have preferred more walking covering a larger area. We barely walked a half mile

City 🌃 of bones. 🦴
We enjoy the walk thru the old town and the knowledge from our guide made all the difference. We would not have known the things to look for/or about the builds and the history. Our guide Martin was great.! 👍 thank you..!🙏
