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.

Lonely Planet wrote about the Alentejo: "Go to be bewitched. Portugal’s largest region, covering a third of the country, truly captivates. Think dry, golden plains, rolling hillsides and lime-green vines. A rugged coastline, traditional whitewashed villages, marble towns and majestic medieval cities. Plus a proud if melancholic people, who valiantly cling to their local crafts." Don't miss out on this private day tour of our most charming region in the country!

If there's a rating above 5 stars, this trip with Daniella deserves it. This was more than a tour. It was actually a pilgrimage that got my 10 year old fascinated at the story of the 3 children of Fatima. My partner who is not catholic was overwhelmed at level of details Daniella took to ensure we enjoyed this trip. With an active and cranky 3 year old, Daniella was very patient and helped soothe our boy several times. This trip is all you need to enjoy Fatima and this got me into planning another trip to Portugal. Thank you ever so much Daniella!

This is a late review, but necessary. We thoroughly enjoyed our private day tour with Sintra Magik in Fatima. The Shrine of course was incredible. The visit to the family home and meeting their descendants were equally touching. We sampled the local cuisine and appreciated the hospitality. Our tour of the religious factory allowed us to return with artifacts for our family. We were so fortunate to have a delightful Irish priest bless these keepsakes. An awesome, memorable day. We highly, highly recommend this tour group.

We spend a long afternoon and evening with Filipe and it was wonderful. I highly recommend him. We visited Sintra and the amazing Perla Palace , the Quinta Regaleira and had the lovely pastry specialty of Sintra. Filipe is a very pleasant charming person to be with, he is very knowledgeable about, the area, the sites, the history and so much more. Time flies with him. We ended the evening in a great fish and seafood restaurant hanging on the side of a cliff Azenhas do Mar. If you are in Lisbon take one of his tours and enjoy.

We spent a one day guided tour with Pedro, and we had the best time! We went from Lisbon to Evora, saw cork factory, Bone Chapple, and the Ervideira Winery. Pedro was so informative and did a wonderful job at customizing the day to our liking. He brought us to a fabulous quaint restaurant for coffee and snacks and later to a restaurant where we had our favorite meal of our entire visit in Portugal. Pedro also took pictures along the way and even gave us a special souvenir from Portugal! The entire day was one of our highlights, and we highly recommend Pedro and Growing Adventure!
