Great private tour of Evora! Highly Recommend Nuno!

Published on Nov, 2024

We took this private tour of Evora because we were really interested in the whole cork industry and since we got to visit the Cork Factory I can say my whole perspective on this business really changed. Definitely a highlight of this tour for us! The Chapel of bones was also interesting, but a bit too weird for us to stay for too long... Our guide Nuno does a great job in explaining the history of the region and make it come to life in his own way! We also got to eat some local food with a nice recommendation that he gave us, so it was good.

A perfect day with Nuno

Published on Oct, 2024

Nuno made our tour personalized and relaxing. The pace was great and the locations were very interesting. Nuno’s knowledge made the history come alive and his friendly demeanor was incredibly engaging. We appreciated the door to door pickup and drop off. A perfect day! This experience gets our highest recommendation.

Fantastic guide and a fantastic day!

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour with Joao was by far our favourite part of our holiday to Portugal. Prior to the tour day, the company was responsive to our queries (we had had other tours by other companies cancelled due to the ongoing forest fires, so were unsure if this one would also go ahead). They communicated collection times very clearly and picked us up right at the door of our AirBnB. Joao was an excellent tour guide; he was extremely knowledgeable, clearly passionate about his home country and it's history and culture along with being very patient. (My sister and I had [too] many questions!) He allowed us plenty of time to visit each of the tour locations, giving us information throughout the process but also allowing us the time to explore ourselves. He was also very considerate in many ways - such as frequently checking with us if the air-con was still suitable (we are very Scottish and were basically boiling alive in the Portuguese heat) and taking our bags to the car when we'd been shopping. Little things like that are so kind and really appreciated. The car itself was very comfortable, had space for bags, and as mentioned - well air-conditioned. Overall I would highly recommend this tour and would certainly say it was good value. When we return to Portugal, we will definitely book another tour with this company. Thank you for a wonderful day Joao, we really enjoyed ourselves!

It was a very enjoyable day

Published on Aug, 2024

We really enjoyed our tour of Evora, we learned so much from our guide Nuno, he has a very good knowledge of the area and Portugal in general. The visit to the cork factory was our highlight.

Fantastic Tour with an Incredible Guide!

Published on Apr, 2024

Our trip to Evora was one of the best tours we have ever experienced. Our tour guide Nuno made history come alive. He is incredibly knowledgable and a wonderful story teller. The tour was very well organized - we experienced so much in one day. We can't say enough about how beautiful the region is and how meaningful the day was for us. We wish every tour guide was as wonderful as Nuno!
