We enjoyed our day trip to Èvora! - A very well organized tour. Our tour guide, Tiago, was very knowledgeable and interacted very well with all members of our small group tour to Èvora. Our pick-up time was communicated to us in advance and the pick-up was very prompt. Everyone I contacted at Around Lisbon both by email & by telephone were very cordial and helpful.

Evora and Megaliths magic - Nuno is a warm, knowledgeable guide who shared a thorough tour of the sites of Evora including the Roman temple, cathedral and Chapel of bones. The pace was steady, with time to explore the megaliths and have a leisurely lunch at a restaurant of our choosing. Many magical sights and insights into Evora history and present day. Included information about the cork trees and industry. Strongly recommend as a day trip from Lisbon.

Prehistory with good fun - Comfortable, the guide, Jaoa was knowledgeable and friendly. Within a few minutes the 6 guests and Joao were laughing and talking, this continued for the whole day. The stops were well thought out and explained very well. No one was rushed, in fact we got back a little late but no one cared.

Amazing day trip out of Lisbon! - Just got back from our trip to Evora and the megaliths and my whole family had an amazing time! Diogo picked us up at our apartment and was friendly, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable! He gave us all kinds of interesting local knowledge as we made the drive to Evora about the fishermen as we crossed the bridge, the giant nests on the high powerline towers, the different flora and fauna of the areas we passed through and tons of history. It was never boring and always cool to hear the stories and history as you viewed the things he was talking about on the drive. The prehistoric sites were quite awe inspiring set in the natural beauty of Portugal's countryside and the trip to Evora felt quite quick. Diogo gave us a quick rundown of the layout and history of the town, gave us advice on places to go and see as well as letting us know what was worth the price of admission and what wasn't, where to eat the local delicacies and where to get the best prices on souvenirs. We were really appreciative of the free time he allotted on our tour for us to explore Evora on our own for a bit before meeting up with him and seeing the bone cathedral. Again he gave us the right amount of backstory and then let us explore on our own to discover more if we wished. We all finished our tour with big smiles on our faces and very much enjoyed our time with Diogo who clearly went out of his way to make it an enjoyable experience. One hundred percent we would do another tour with this company and without a doubt would do another tour with Diogo!

This was a full day of... - This was a full day of seeing the countryside outside of Lisbon and enjoying a medieval town. We had the right amount of guided and free time. Nuno was great! We got so lucky to witness a goat herd roundup with border collies while visiting the dolmens. It was a very picturesque day.

Avoid this one - I expected better. We spent an hour in the morning driving all over Lisbon picking up passengers from many neighborhoods before we even got started. Why no central pick up site? Then we spent tons of time in the van getting to the sites themselves. The van was too small for the amount of adults so we were packed in very tight. One of the main attractions even not available but we were not told until the last minute even though it was known not to be accessible this month. Although the description says water included , and it was super hot (85) the day we went, some of us were given only 1 tiny bottle of water. Others (like me and my partner who brought some) had to plead for water when ours ran out. Then it was given grudgingly,with argument. The most interesting sight in Evora was the cathedral but it was not included. The bone chapel was included but it was a minor sight and thrown in at the end. We left Lisbon at 9:00 and did not return until 7:00 hot, dehydrated, and exhausted. I suggest avoiding this trip.
