Visit roman temple of Diana
You will see Portugal's biggest gothic cathedral
Wine tasting from Alentejo.
Imposing Gothic-style church
The interior features a single nave. The barrel vault is covered with magnificent frescoes that include sacred and profane decorative elements. The side walls are lined with beautiful tile panels, attributed to the famous ceramist Gabriel del Barco. These panels represent biblical scenes. (No regular visiting hours)
Located within a public park there is no information about these ruins on site. Apparently they are a folly, created with items saved from the demolition of the monasteries at the turn of the 20th century. Free to access and walk around they are well worth a few minutes, especially as the whole area is populated by peacocks.
Solid palace and former convent located in a well-kept park with historical artefacts.

Very relaxing and peaceful trip to Evora and surrounding winery. We learned about the cork creation process for wine and other goods. Miguel was very knowledgeable and was a great guide. The city of Evora is small, but it has a lot of charm and beauty, and the chapel of bones was hauntingly curious. The wine was great as well.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you had a relaxing and memorable day in Évora and at the winery. The cork tradition is such a unique part of Portuguese culture, so it’s wonderful to know you enjoyed learning more about the process behind it. We’re especially happy that Miguel helped make the experience even more special with his knowledge and guidance throughout the tour. And yes — the Chapel of Bones certainly leaves a lasting impression on everyone who visits. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Portugal for another adventure soon!

A fantastic tour combining history and wine in the best possible way. The visit to Ervideira’s wine caves was a highlight, with excellent wines and a welcoming atmosphere. Évora’s monumental center is stunning, and the guide made the history engaging and easy to follow. Well organized, relaxed, and truly memorable. Highly recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Évora tour was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The day was perfectly balanced between culture, history, and wine, making it one of the highlights of our time in Portugal. The visit to the Ervideira wine caves was exceptional. Walking through the cellar, learning about the winemaking process, and tasting such refined, characterful wines gave us a true sense of the Alentejo’s soul. The experience felt authentic, relaxed, and deeply connected to the land. Évora itself is simply breathtaking. Exploring the historic center, with its Roman Temple, Cathedral, and charming streets, felt like stepping back in time. The guide’s knowledge brought the city to life, sharing stories and context that made every monument more meaningful. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and unhurried. This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the essence of Alentejo in one day — history, wine, and atmosphere at the highest level. Highly recommended.

Somewhat sorry to write a bad review, but this tour operator attempted to re-schedule 2 hours before our tour, at 6 am in the morning. We scheduled them for a 9 am pickup, changed to 8:30 at their request. The day of the tour they asked us to reschedule and after saying we couldn't reschedule, they said"wait a minute" and ghosted our texts asking for updates. I saved the conversations by screenshots, so I have proof. Can not recommend this tour or tour operator
We’d like to clarify the facts. The guest was contacted in advance due to an unexpected personal emergency affecting the guide. When rescheduling was not possible, the booking was fully canceled and 100% refunded immediately. No service took place. While we regret the inconvenience caused, the matter was handled transparently and in line with platform policies. We respectfully disagree with the characterization of this situation.
Best team ever! We went to breathtaking spots (the Roman Temple is super well preserved) and had amazing food. Such a great day and tour. 100% recommend.

Évora is a must if you want to really understand and get to know Portugal! The old town, the amazing Roman temple and old and incredible church were the highlight to me and my husband! The bone chapel is for sure one of kind! Really creepy, in a good sense! Ohh and the wine and food! One word…INCREDIBLE! Our guide drove us in very comfortable car and was so informative and kind! Couldn’t ask for a better experience! Thank you!

We took a wonderful walk to the beautiful town of Évora in the Alentejo region. Pedro Canana did an excellent job and presented everything to us with great clarity and sympathy. Super recomendo.
