This was a long day but every minute was absolutely worth it. Our tour guide was super, super, super! We had a lot of fun and learned so very much about cork processing and products. Evora is a not to miss visit - a lot of history, great food and tastings. 15 stars to Margarida, our tour guide and wonderful lady. Thank you for a a specular adventure.
My guide, Frederico @TheHostExperiences.com did everything to make the day special. He was knowledgeable, conversational and helpful as a guide. Every element of the tour was enjoyable from the Cork factory to the Evora town square and the wine lounge.
