Experience

Highlights
  • Visit the oldest megalithic site in Portugal, Almendres Cromlech
  • Walking tour throughout medieval Évora city center (UNESCO)

  • Taste a variety of the famous and delicious Portuguese olive oil

Full description
We want to take you inside a time machine and arrive back a few centuries ago, as our first stop is 7000 years back at the Almendres Cromlech. Next is the former roman town of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, with roman, visigoth, muslim and portuguese influence. In Évora history crosspaths with us in every corner, in this big puzzle of historical monuments with more than 1000 years old. The walking tour starts at São Francisco church and the Bones Chapes, one of the must see places in Évora. Heading next to the medieval heart of the city where the Cathedral (the biggest in Portugal) can be found but also some antique testimonials like, Roman Temple cand the Roman baths. There will also be time for an olive oil tasting, free time to shop and to lunch … by any means skip the local food. Definitely not to skip the 2027 European Cultural Capital.

We had really a private tour as no one else was scheduled -- just the two of us and a driver/guide. Therefore my rating probably doesn't perhaps reflect the normal tour. Our guide/driver was beyond excellent. He knew all the ins and outs so we didn't have to stand in line. He could have guided QE2, he was that excellent. He answered every question we had, knew the back story on every site, was as professional a guide as I have ever had.

Joana was such a nice guide! She walked us through both the history of Évora and the megalithics always smiling and providing us with lots of information. The tour is very nice and relaxing and on our way back we also get to cross the Vasco Da Gama bridge, which was a welcomed bonus. The Bone Chapel is definitely worth the visit.

I took this tour while visiting Lisbon last week. It was a great day trip. We had perfect weather for the trip and the drive went quite quickly. Our tour guide was just what we needed: accommodating, informative, interesting, punctual and friendly. The places we visited, Cromlech standing stones and Evora, were well-worth leaving Lisbon for the day to see. The other members of my tour were also pleasant and fun to share the trip with. All-in-all, I felt the trip was well worth the cost and would recommend it to other tourists who would like to get out of town and see something more of the Portuguese countryside and history beyond its capital city.
