Great walking tour of Evora with João - We had a fantastic tour with João, who took us around evora in the morning before it got too hot. We saw a lot of interesting sites including the cathedral, the Roman temple, and the chapel of bones. João was very knowledgeable and engaging, we all learned so much. We had two children in our group (age 7,8) and he was so patient with them and answered all their questions. Highly recommend the tour and João.

Wonderful Tour - Inês and João we fabulous guides-we had the rarw luck of being the only ones on the tour that day and it was like having a walk and talk with two wonderful, knowlegale friends. They showed us sights in Evora we would have completely overlooked without them, and gave us rich context for everything we did see. We left with a deep appreciation of the city's history and it's inhabitants, past and present.

Private walking tour of Evora - This was a wonderful private walking tour. Our guide was a PhD student at the university ofEvora and he met us at our hotel, which was really convenient. We walked all over the old city and had a wonderful comprehensive tour that included details about the history of Evora, the University, the churches, the Chapel of bones, the temple of Diana and he was also able to recommend some wonderful wines and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed this 2 1/2 hour tour and would highly recommend it.

Great Evora tour with Joao! - Wonderful, informative walking tour of Evora with our friendly, very knowledgeable guide Joao. He adapted the tour and his commentary to our interests, which we really appreciated. Evora is a beautiful town, and well worth a visit. Less crowded than Lisbon and Sintra.
One note, we took the train from Lisbon and found out later the bus would have been more reliable (our train was delayed an hour, which is not uncommon) and much much cheaper.
Take my advice and go to Evora, and definitely book this walking tour! You get so much more out of the experience than if you just wander around on your own.

Excellent and informative - We have had many tours now in our adventure and expedition through and down Portugal for 3 weeks. Paulo was the most informed about this tour than most of them. I feel like we got the most out of this experience and I am very grateful. The pace was good. He was personable and repeated as needed due to his heavy accent without concern. Lots of extra tips andtidbits of history as well.
