The Best Tour To Évora From Lisbon
GENUINE PORTUGAL
About the Full-Day Tour
We want to take you inside a time machine and arrive back a few centuries ago, as our first stop is the former roman town of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, with roman, visigoth, muslim and portuguese influence.
In Évora history crosspaths with us in every corner, in this big puzzle of historical monuments with more than 1000 years old. The walking tour starts at São Francisco church and the Bones Chapels, one of the must see places in Évora.
Heading next to the medieval heart of the city where the Cathedral (the biggest in Portugal) can be found but also some antique testimonials like, Roman Temple cand the Roman baths.
There will also be time for an olive oil tasting, free time to shop and to lunch … by any means skip the local food. Definitely no to skip the 2027 European Cultural Capital.
We Finish in Arraiolos this day with a visit to the Capital of Portuguese Handmade
Carpets, tasting Wine, Olive Oil & local Patties.

We are cool but not that cool. The paid amount can be refunded at 100% if the customer wants to cancel up to 24 hours before the tour. If a cancellation is made less than the 24h period it is non-refundable. In case of no show / cancellation in the same day, the amount will not be refunded.
Why sould the little ones stay out of our tours? There is absolutely no problem! Up to 3 years old it’s completely free and between 4 to 12 they have a 20% discount. Logistically speaking we just have to know in advance to make the necessary arrangements.
According to Portuguese law, children must sit on a chair or booster cushion as long as they are either 150 cm tall (4ft / 11 inch.), 36 kg (79lb) of weight or 12 years old, so the belt can be properly placed at the waist and not on the belly.
The question is quite relevant and makes sense. Our guides have academic studies and most of them are Tourism graduates with full certifications to make our tours.
In addition to technical skills, they were hand picked by their charismatic personality, passion for the country and its history and excellent communication skills. We can be cool but we will never neglect or be sloppy when it comes to discipline and professionalism.
*Without any doubt. We have a team ready to meet your needs. For your convenience we can adjust the tour and include alternatives so that you can have a memorable experience even without walking too much or not at all. Mind that we cannot change any tour in regular format, but we can do any tour in private. This way you have total control of what to see and how long you want to stay at a given location.
Anyway our tours are to be enjoyed slowly with several stops along the way, we are not in hurry to get you back home! Our vans are also very comfortable and have air conditioning so you can have the best sightseeing tour ever!
Yes, we have a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 8 for our regular van tours. Sometimes more than one van can go to the same destination but our goal is to keep small groups for greater closeness and interaction with the client. In exceptional cases we may operate with a 16 / 18 seat minibus during high season peaks.
However we do tours (in van or walking tours) for large groups and if necessary we request higher-capacity buses. For these particular cases, please contact us.
