Évora was a destination on my list because I wanted to see the Chapel of Bones. My friends and I booked a tour with Pedro Ferrador, and we got the royal tour treatment in and around the city. The city was about an hour from where we were staying, but that was not a problem. Pedro picked us up and explained the landscape and various flora/fauna along the way. We got to see where storks nest! In Évora, the Chapel of Bones is just one of the beautiful historic places to visit - there are Roman ruins, beautiful cathedrals, and castles to explore. Évora also has some wonderful shopping opportunities, so don’t be shy with your wallet! We could not have seen as much as we did without Pedro. He has so much knowledge of the city and history of the area that it made the day all the more enjoyable. Pedro is also extremely fun and funny, so be prepared to laugh until your stomach hurts. Taking this tour with Pedro means you do not have to worry about what to see or experience next, and if you have time, you can stop at one of the wineries on the way back. A little vinho after our Évora adventure was a perfect way to end the day!
