Perfect Alentejo tour - A perfect way to take the family outside and see gorgeous cork trees, vineyards, and animals. The family loved it. My kids loved the Land Rover and enjoyed the open air, branches in the face, and dodging the farm life. Truly informative and Joana is an amazing host/guide. The lunch afterwards was very traditional and the soup followed by the local pork was superb. A great morning adventure for those with teenagers.

Cork Cork Everywhere!! - We really enjoyed the private tour of the cork fields. The tour in the cork fields and the black pork meal and tomato soup were our favorite. You felt like a local in the village and our guide Joana was wonderful

Well worth it! - Our first time in a cork forest, this excursion onto Philip's farms was fascinating. We learned a lot about cork trees, farming, and starting a vineyard. The area is beautiful. Our older children (21 & 18) loved the tour as much as we did.

Excellent tour of a beautiful landscape - We had the pleasure of being guided around the cork forest by the owner, Phillip, who was very entertaining as he explained the history of the land, how cork is cared for and harvested, and how he also became a winemaker. The tour of his beautiful forest and vineyard was a highlight of our trip to the Alentejo -- we highly recommend it. And if you get a chance, try some of Phillip's wine -- Dez Tostoes -- it's amazing!

Very unique cork safari adventure - My honey and I took the two hour “Corktrekking” adventure that was led by our guide, Jose on the grounds of Herdade da Maroteira near Redondo, Portugal. Felt like we were on a “cork safari” in our Land Rover as we explored the 600 acre property. Our guide, Jose, has a lifetime of knowledge about cork farming that he learned from his grandpa who was a “corkmaster.” In addition to the cork trees, Herdade da Maroteira has a sixty acre vineyard that produces some of Portugal’s finest wine. Very unique experience that helps us to understand the cork farming and vineyard business in a very detailed and fun tour.

A must do in the Alentejo region - One of the highlights of our Portugal trip was the visit to Herdade da Maroteira for their Corktrekking tour of the cork forest. Jose was our driver and guide, sharing fascinating information about the cork industry, the long-term investment in growing and harvesting cork, and the estate's agri-ecosystem of supporting other industries including wine and pata negra. Beautiful views from the property and time well spent just a short drive from Evora.

Fun, educational and definitely entertaining - Antonio did a great job educating me on how cork grows and is harvested. The old land rover is clean and well maintained. Highly recommend it.

Great tour! - Wonderful tour and history given by Jose at an old family farm with cork trees, some over 200 years old, water wells over 400 years old, and grape vines that are young but producing some of the best wine in Portugal. Well worth the money spent. The day was not hot and the tour was just 3 of us and Jose. He is full of knowledge of the area and very helpful in making sure we got there and enjoyed ourselves.

An educational and exciting experience for culture lovers! - See the cork trees and vineyards traveling choosing between a comfortable SUV ride or a thrilling (and bumpy) jeep ride. I went as part of a Gadventures tour group and we took both varying each way. Our guides Andre and Margarita showed us around the farm, regaling us with it's history and explaining how the cork, Holm oaks, and grapes are used in regional goods. They also showed us a recently uncovered dolmen still in the process of being excavated. Later, they dropped us off at a local restaurant for lunch where we were treated to home cooking (which I'm not sure is usually included). Both guides were affable and highly knowledgeable, eagerly answering questions and offering a hand as needed. The food, was likewise delicious, but that deserves its own review!

Cork Safari - Learned so much more about cork than we had ever learned from opening wine bottles. Joanna was a very personable and knowledgeable guide. Lunch was delicious and a fun way to get to know our safari mates.
