The tour was fantastic! We enjoyed the whole thing and it was well paced, and very comfortable. Wemerson, our guide, might have been more interesting than the tour itself though! Super cool and friendly guy that we chatted with the whole time. Highly recommended!
This day trip was a great addition to out trip. It was very educational, fun and different. We visit in Evora the Se Catedral, Temple of Diana, chapel of Bones, walk through historic Evora town and eat a great traditional restaurant recommended by Rodolfo Also went to Corticarte cork workshop and in Alentejo to a great winery Ervideira Lounge. They make sure we receive special treatment in our visit. I love that we were at our own pace. Did not feel pressure during the different places visited and they even make a stop to pickup some azulejos on our way back to Lisbon. Very flexible with time and our needs. I would definitely recommend this day trip. It was almost 11 hours even though it says is 9-10. We receive VIP service. thanks Rodolfo qnd the driver for a great time at Alentejo and Evora and all the information shared during each place visit in the day. I already recomendé the trip to several friends 😀
