There were 6 of us and we had a great day trip from Lisbon. Enjoyed both towns and the weather was perfect. Nice change of the busy city we experienced the 2 days prior.

These two cities are really worth going to especially Monsaranz it is quiet and very unique. Also this area of Portugal looks like Napa CA

We had a fantastic day with Rui ! What a great guide and storyteller. We enjoyed the tour, wine tasting, and historical narrative as well as the delicious meal at a local restaurant recommended by Rui. We can’t say enough good about the experience and would highly recommend this tour and guide.

Our guide Rui was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humor and positive energy. He told vivid stories about the places where we visited and kept a very engaging conversation going while driving us around. We enjoyed spending a fun day with him exploring, learning and having fun. 🤩 I would recommend him to anyone who plans to visit Lisbon.

We did a day trip to Evora and Monsaraz. Carlos was a fantastic guide. Very friendly and attentive with a good sense of humour. The wine tasting was a bonus to an already lovely trip. Monsaraz was such an interesting place to visit. Highly recommend this day trip!

Great tour! I loved visiting the small towns and learning about the rich history of Portugal. Each stop had its own charm, and the experiences felt authentic and meaningful. The tour guide was amazing, knowledgeable, passionate, and made everything even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Our guide Leo was really knowledgeable and provided heaps of information without sending you into overload. He kept it interesting and made it fun. Lunch at Evora was a treat as we had the chance to go to lunch with Leo to his favourite local restaurant try the secret pork dish. The wine tasting at Monsaraz was enjoyable and a walking tour of the town was a nice finish to our time there.

Our lovely tour guide provided a great experience including Roman ruins, gothic cloisters, an old castle town and wine tasting in an old elementary school. Évora is beautiful - must go!!
