Time seems to stand still in Evora, a well-preserved medieval town that features protective walls, a 13th-century cathedral, several palaces,and a 1st-century Roman temple. No surprise that the town center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even though it’s kind of creepy, don’t miss the Chapel of Bones, where the remains of nuns and monks are arranged in a haunting mosaic.

A hot air balloon ride over the Evora countryside was the perfect start to the day. Nelson collected us from our accommodation and took us to the balloon. He was calm and very professional which put any slight fears I had to rest. Once we were up I was spellbound...silently moving across the land with panoramic views of the countryside, the cork trees, cattle and sheep. I could have stayed up there forever. Once safely landed we were treated to a glass of Cava and some Belgian waffles....a perfect trip with the ultimate professional. Thank you Nelson and Isis for such a wonderful ay

We hired Diane for a 3 hour tour. She picked us up at our hotel and was full of information about historical events & current Portuguese life. She kept us entertained with her enthusiasm and broad wealth of knowledge. As a PhD candidate she has a curiosity that covers many disciplines and loved questions. We managed to see all the main sights, plus had the advantage of cutting a very long line for the Chapel of Bones. Diane provides enough historical background that we were able to see the care put into this chapel, not just a curiosity. Great morning and would HIGHLY recommend Diane. We learned more today about Portugal as a country today than we did on the rest of our 12 day trip (and we took 5 tours previously, which we considered good). This is excellent.

Drive to the Roman Temple, contemplate the Chapel of Bones or stroll through Praça Giraldo, sailing through the historic center of the city, considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. You can also venture outside the walls that delimit the old city and feel the calmer and more rural landscape that surrounds the city. Everything at your own pace.

We don't remember how we stumbled upon this tour, but we are very glad we did! The Twizy is this fun little car to drive and going off-road is kind off hilarious. The Megalithics of Almendres were nice to see and after we saw those, there was some time to explore the city on our own. The explanation the guy who brought the Twizy gave was very clear. So if you want to see the Megalithics and be funky while visiting them: look no further! Also: very COVID-19 proof as the car was cleaned before our use.

The passion we feel for the city allows us to put together more than 45 stories that happened here. Stories about hate and love, courage and skill, friendship and family. Tales about our city that made it as it is today. Curiosities of the ancient everyday life, that became a tradition. Legends that became real. Stories about the most common mortals to the most important personalities in Portuguese history. Évora has been one of the most important cities of Portugal, coveted by other nations. We will unveil the most interesting mysteries that are not told in a typical Évora city tour. Let’s walk the streets while we capture the city’s beauty. We’ll stop at some places to tell you what happened there, or what connection that site has with the story that we want you to know. We may or may not enter the most well-known monuments; we do not have a scripted tour. We want you to enjoy the city while you get to know it in a more profound way. This is a unique, relaxed and unforgettable way to visit Évora, the city where the stones breed history.

I didn't know about this tour. When I arrived in Evora I went to take a coffee in a cafeteria in front of Praça do Giraldo. When I went out I saw Sandra and a group of people and she welcome me too. When she start to talk she never stop, she really love her city and want to engage all the people. I really like the walking tour. I suggest her to everyone that want to discover the real Evora. Thanks Sandra
