A few hours in Évora - We were driving through Évora on our way to the Algarve and planned this tour in advance of the drive. So glad we did! Raquel is a marvelous guide: friendly, knowledgable, and patient. She showed us so much of the town in just over two hours and we left satisfied. Highly recommend!

Évora: A Family Adventure - Just got back from a sweet tour in Évora with my wife and kids. We rolled into town last Thursday, and this place is something else. The tour guide, took us around the city, sharing stories that brought the history to life. The kids were into it, and that's saying something. Rachael even pointed us to this restaurant where we had the best porco prieto (back pork) ever. The whole fam was happy and full. If you're ever in Évora, chose this tour. You won't be disappointed.

Family friendly tour - Raquel's Évora adventure was an absolute hoot for our family. She's got this infectious enthusiasm for the city. We explored the cute streets, the Chapel of Bones (kinda spooky, but awesome). Raquel's friendliness made the day fun for both kids and grown-ups. A family day out that rocks!

Journey through time and secrets - Raquel's Évora tour was like a journey through time and secrets. We strolled through the ancient streets, checked out the cool Roman Temple, and the Cathedral of Évora – whoa, that's a must-see! Felt like we were hanging out with a friend, not a guide. Totally recommend it for an epic day!

Walking tour of Evora - Rachael gave us a really good & informative tour of Evora . We were not fast walkers so she took her time,never felt we were rushed & gave us a wonderful insight into the history of both Evora & the life & times through the early Portuguese rulers. Rachael made everything come to life, she was excellent & inspired us to find out more about Portuguese history on our return home. Would thoroughly recommend this tour with Rachael time just flew past.

AMAZING!!! Best Tour we did in all of Portugal - Oh man where to begin! Evora, Portugal, a city that effortlessly blends its rich history with captivating beauty. Recently, I had the pleasure of embarking on a truly remarkable tour in this enchanting place, and I cannot contain my excitement as I share my incredible experience. From the moment we set foot in Evora, the air was filled with an aura of antiquity and charm. Our tour, organized by a highly knowledgeable and professional team, ensured that every moment was filled with awe-inspiring sights, intriguing stories, and unforgettable memories. She reached out to us beforehand and asked us if there were any particular things we wanted to see in Evora. I have some Sephardic Jewish ancestry and mentioned it would be cool if she knew if there was any Jewish history there. There wasn't much but she actually went to the city hall to request if there were any documents or history of a Jewish Presence in the city, She managed to find out there was a small market were they used to sell goods. The level of detail and care into making our experience an amazing one did not go unnoticed. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR. You will not regret it.

Off to a great start in Evora - Great way to start our trip in Portugal. Raquel gave us a very informative walking tour in Evora. She took us to many places that we would definitely not have found on our own and provided us with some insight on Portuguese culture and experiences. As a former student of the university she had a lot of local knowledge about Evora. She even brought some pastries to share and since we expressed interest in local wines, took us to a tasting room. Highly recommend taking this tour!
