Nuno, thank you for such a great day. You made Évora, the wine tasting, and the cork factory visit feel easy, interesting, and genuinely fun. You were thoughtful, engaging, and paced everything perfectly. We learned a lot without it ever feeling like a tour. Suitcase Gals would absolutely spend another day exploring with you.
Dear Gurvinder, Thank you so much for your kind review. That's so good to know that you had enjoyed our tour to Évora. It was a pleasure having such a nice group with us. Thank you so much. Kind regards, Margarida
Nuno Moura was a perfect guide for our group of 7 women on our trip to the cork factory, winery and excursion to Evora. Our comfort was his top priority in his air-conditioned, luxury van and got us to all of our destinations safely while educating us about Portugal history along the way. He was a perfect Gentleman and managed our enthusiasm with grace and kindness. He went the extra mile and gave his recommendations for other destinations here in Portugal which I so appreciate. I highly recommend him and his services and will be utilizing his expertise the next time I return to Portugal🩵

The tour company custom tailored a wine tour based around some specific parameters I gave them. The whole communication process during the planning stag was effortless and very detailed. I was presented with options and suggestions. The actual day of the tour was perfect. My driver and guide, Nuno, was perfect in every aspect. Professional, prompt, informative and very helpful. The 10 hour tour went perfectly.

This was one of the best private tours we have ever taken! Absolutely worth the price. Susana was such an amazing guide. Her knowledge of the history of Portugal is phenomenal! It didn't take long for us to feel like she was a friend taking us around to the places that she really loves. Her passion for her job was very evident. She was so very patient and accommodating as we took in all of the beautiful sites of Evora. I would highly recommend booking the Evora tour with Van Go Tourism...and be sure to ask for Susana!!!

Simone took us on a wonderful private tour of Evora including a stop at a cork factory and winery. Lovely cork souvenirs at the factory and a tour and tasting of 4 wines at the winery. Great lunch and tour in Evora including the Chapel of the Bones. Simone was excellent, personable and a perfect tour guide. Great company to deal with as we did another tour to Sintra with them also.

This tour was excellent, mainly thanks to our SUPERIOR guide, Simone. She was extremely knowledgeable and such a fun person to spend the day with. The cork factory tour was really neat and we had the opportunity to interact with one of the dry-humored, "energetic" family owners of the factory. Really neat to see all the uses and process to create. We then explored the beautiful town of Evora. We saw the bone chapel, had a wonderful recommended lunch, and viewed the cool Roman ruins. We capped the day at a beautiful vineyard. Simply cannot say enough good things about our guide as she really made the day so memorable. We loved laughing with her and learned so many interesting things about Portuguese history and culture!
Dear Whitney, thank you so much for your kind review. It's wonderful to know how much you enjoy our tour. You can't imagine how this helps and motivates our entire team. It was a pleasure having you with us. Hope we have the chance to have you back in the future. Kind regards, Margarida
