Full Day Tour in Évora from Lisbon
Description
Discover Évora – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the European Capital of Culture 2027 – on a small-group tour, with the personalized attention of an experienced guide and the comfort of modern transportation. Departing from Lisbon, explore the historic center and its iconic landmarks: the Roman Temple, the Cathedral (Sé), Giraldo Square, the Chapel of Bones, the medieval walls, and the University of Évora. Whenever possible, we’ll also visit the Almendres Cromlech, one of the oldest megalithic monuments in Europe, with over 7,000 years of history. Midday, enjoy a traditional Alentejo gastronomic experience, with lunch at a typical restaurant and the chance to taste local wines and olive oils – including, if available, the prestigious Pêra-Manca. Experience the best of Évora in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, meet new people, and uncover the secrets of the Alentejo.

The trip from beginning to end was delightful! Our guide, Luis Albino, was knowledgeable and efficient with schedule. He took us to an unexpected location which included monoliths. Our tour covered 10,000 years of icons, architecture, structures, and stories. The pace was perfect for us without rushing. We found our guide accommodating and kind. Would recommend this tour!
Thank you very much for your words. it really makes me happy you have enjoyed it so much. Greetings from Sintra
Luis our guide from Grand Lisbon tours was excellent and enthusiastic about Portuguese history. Evora is a distance but worth the time its so much different than any other city. Roman ruins ,Chapel of Bones ,and the gastronomy of Cartuxa was great. Their wines foods and staff were outstanding. On the way home learned some about the Knights Templar and Portugese history Feel lucky to have spent the day with Luis
