Excellent fun day tour to Evora with our guide Diogo. So much better than our tour to Sintra - much less crowds - better food - more culture.

An incredible day, adapted to my conditions, broken foot. We visited vineyard and olive landscapes and a beautiful visit to Monsaraz. A tour of Arraiolos, Évora and a lot of history about the region and this beautiful country. The company of Diogo was amazing, always very dedicated and concerned with our well-being.

We had a fabulous day trip to Évora with our very personable and knowledgeable guide Diogo. We were able to tailor the trip as we went and as well as seeing the sites of Evora ( Roman ruins and chapel of Bones were particularly arresting) we were able to fit in an excellent wine tasting at Cartuxa winery nearby. Diogo was a great guy and was able to teach me much about the history and politics of Portugal 🇵🇹 in one day 👍

An amazing experience for those who like history and are interested in learning more about Évora and the country itself. Diogo is a very knowledgeable guide, so we used every moment to ask a lot of questions :). And he answered all of them with a lot of interesting facts. He even suggested a very nice local food (black pork) that we got to try for the first time. Awesome! Thank you, Diogo, for such an amazing tour last month ! :) We hope to have you as a guide again when we return to Portugal :)
