Evora and Monsaraz from Lisbon with Gui - This was an outstanding tour that we would highly recommend. Gui was extremely knowledgeable with a contagious passion for Portuguese history. Not only did he come with a wealth of background and stories, he was open to answering any questions we had.

Charming countryside side day trip - Wonderful experience with Joao touring Monsaraz and Evora. We enjoyed the drive through the countryside and learning about the history of the region and the agriculture (cork, olives, almonds, wheat). Monsaraz is a charming little walled village overlooking the lake with shops selling local products. Joao recommended a fabulous restaurant in Evora and guided us through the town pointing out details that we would have otherwise missed. It is worthwhile to climb the steps to the roof of the cathedral and to visit all levels of the chapel of bones museum to view the nativity sets and artwork.

Great trip to Monsaraz and Evora - We had a fantastic tour of Monsaraz and Evora with Joao and Rudi. Do to the number of people in our tour, they provided two vans so that we could travel comfortably. They picked us up right on time and dropped us off later at restaurant where we had reservations. Joao was particularly helpful in his descriptions of the history and agriculture of eastern Portugal. Much more than your average guide. Rudi explained the history of the Capela dos Osso in Evora. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see more of Portugal.

Amazing Evora and Monsaraz!!! - We had a wonderful private tour to Evora and Monsaraz with Rui as our driver. He was very knowledgeable of the cities and their history. We were never rushed and he always made sure we drank plenty of water since it was a very hot day. It was very impressive to see the Chapel of bones! The city of Evora is beautiful and there Rui reserved for a us a delicious authentic Portuguese lunch. Delicious!!! The medieval town of Monsaraz was outstanding also!! We highly recommend this tour and if you have Rui as your guide you will definitely learn a lot!!!

Most Beautiful Parts of Portugal - This tour goes to some of the most beautiful places in Portugal. We saw and learned about historical places that were very interesting. However, the views from these sites was drop dead gorgeous. We loved our tour guides Alejandro and Miguel. They were fun to tour with.
