The three megalith sites we visited were made extremely interesting by our two guides who were excellent. We learnt a lot about the history and mystery of the stones and how and why they had been situated in the locations.

Megalith and Cromlech Tour - Outstanding!!

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour was amazing ! We spent over 3.5 hours with our guides Briana and her husband who gave an outstanding presentation and conversation to the history and archeological significance of the Megaliths and Cromlech sites . Their personal and professional insights were very interesting- a definite recommendation if you are visiting Evora!

Fun, relaxed, and informative

Published on Oct, 2024

The small group size lent to interesting conversations and time for questions. Gonçalo and Bianca were knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we were very glad to have booked their tour. It was lovely to get out of town and see some of the countryside and learn about the ancient people of this region.
