Amazing Trip!!! - This was one of the best private tours we have ever taken! Absolutely worth the price. Susana was such an amazing guide. Her knowledge of the history of Portugal is phenomenal! It didn't take long for us to feel like she was a friend taking us around to the places that she really loves. Her passion for her job was very evident. She was so very patient and accommodating as we took in all of the beautiful sites of Evora. I would highly recommend booking the Evora tour with Van Go Tourism...and be sure to ask for Susana!!!

Great experience - We had an amazing time. The whole tour was excellent and our guide, Miguel, was so knowledgable and very friendly. He hands down made our experience memorable.

Excellent tour - Excellent tour. Miguel was extremely knowledgeable of the area and history of the town and country. We learned a lot and his advice and insights for other parts of our visit to Portugal were very valuable. The lunch recommendations was also excellent. I highly recommend this tour.

Evora/cork factory and winery - Simone took us on a wonderful private tour of Evora including a stop at a cork factory and winery. Lovely cork souvenirs at the factory and a tour and tasting of 4 wines at the winery. Great lunch and tour in Evora including the Chapel of the Bones. Simone was excellent, personable and a perfect tour guide. Great company to deal with as we did another tour to Sintra with them also.

memorable, wine testing , churches, and the Chaple of Bones ! Amazing historical perspectives! - The bones chapel, city of Evora. Visiting the cork factory, and experiencing how cork is grows . And various products that are made from cork . Our guide , JOAO, was OUTSTANDING! Simply the best ! Excellent wine testing experience!

Best tour of our trip to Portugal! - This tour was excellent, mainly thanks to our SUPERIOR guide, Simone. She was extremely knowledgeable and such a fun person to spend the day with. The cork factory tour was really neat and we had the opportunity to interact with one of the dry-humored, "energetic" family owners of the factory. Really neat to see all the uses and process to create. We then explored the beautiful town of Evora. We saw the bone chapel, had a wonderful recommended lunch, and viewed the cool Roman ruins. We capped the day at a beautiful vineyard. Simply cannot say enough good things about our guide as she really made the day so memorable. We loved laughing with her and learned so many interesting things about Portuguese history and culture!

Great Day Trip Out of Lisbon! - This tour was a major highlight of our trip to Portugal! Our guide Joāo was super knowledgeable & friendly and took great care of us all day. And the tour itself was fantastic! The cork factory was such a unique experience - it was fascinating to see and learn where the corks to our wine bottles come from and provided a great souvenir shopping experience. The vineyard tour offered us a look at some traditional Portuguese wine making techniques which I found interesting and the tasting and lunch provided a great respite in the day. Finally, the town of Evora itself was incredible to witness! The Chapel of Bones really lives up to its name and the rest of the city was very pleasant to walk through. All in all this was a great day trip out of Lisbon that I would highly recommend!

Evora - Giuseppe was our tour guide in Lisbon for 3 days. He was absolutely wonderful! Very knowledgeable about Portugal and very entertaining. He made us feel special and well taken care of. We enjoyed the cork factory, the vineyard tour and the history of Évora.

Worth every euro cent - Hard to narrow it down, we saw so much and were able to just fully immerse ourselves because we did not have to stare at a map or guide book or the dash board or sometimes very narrow roads... we were in superb hands, had an excellent tour guide and driver all in one in a damn comfy van. He knew his history exhaustively and researched anything he was not sure of. Parking was sometimes extremely limited and no longer an issue since we were dropped off if needed and when en route to the next site just sitting back and watching this beautiful scenery go by. The towns we saw, from north to south, were so well covered and meals were reserved in many. Getting extra help with selecting the accommodations when so many other tourists were trying to book Portugal was invaluable. Several river boat tours, several winery and port wine producer tours, museums, castles and more monasteries than we could believe...from Porto to Coimbra to Tomar to name just a few and towns added in, then down to Lisbon and beyond... this is a great tour company, very accommodating and able to customize to our interests on the fly which we took advantage of as we fine tuned what we were interested in. We could not have been happier and would use Van Go again tomorrow! There were high points. seeing 25,000 year old engravings (one of several UNESCO sites we toured), seeing a cork production operation, dining along the douro... this is the way to go to Portugal.

unexpected interest. - Included in our Globus Escape tour. Not necessarily something we would have chosen to do but I must say -- it was quite interesting to learn about the cork trees and how they use them for many items. Of course there is a gift shop for you to shop in. We did not get a vineyard visit at the time which I would have much preferred.
