Highly recommend this tour of Evora - We had a great walking tour with Joao. We learned a lot about Evora and we appreciated his excellent English and how he customized the tour to our interests. We are both avid photographers and he found the best views of the city's monuments for us. We're so glad that we took the tour because we would have missed so much about this historic city.

Évora doesn't disappoint! - Easy meet up spot to begin our walking tour of Evora. The layers of history were peeled back for us by Paulo and he really helped us to begin to understand the depth of history to be found in this amazing walled city. It's truly mind boggling. We would have passed by or missed out on so much understanding had we not been introduced to this special place by Paulo. Highly recommend.

Fabulous experience!! - Superior! Elsa was wonderfully informative and thoroughly charming. She pointed out so many details that we, and I suspect most guides, would have missed. Her love of history and Evora is infectious; you won’t want the tour to end!

Excellent Experience in an authentic walled city - Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Evora os a hidden gem that no one had told us about and the guide was as good as we've had. She took us to places we never would have found on our own including seeing the foundation and fresco from 2000 years ago. I'm a tough grader and this town and guide was A+
