Super host - Rachael was a fantastic and very knowledgeable guide, she guided us through the beautiful town of Évora. It was a super hot day, she stopped and bought us water along the way. She even went as far as providing tips including links to places to visit and restaurants for our remaining days in Lisbon! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic tour of Évora! - We absolutely loved our Évora walking tour! Raquel prepared an excellently curated route through the old city, visiting all of the highlights (the university, the Roman temple, the center of the city, the Chapel of Bones, etc.) while providing fascinating details throughout about the history of Évora and Portugal. Her wealth of knowledge was truly impressive, and as the tour went on she adjusted some of her points of emphasis to fit our interests. And when a member of our party had to leave before the end of the tour due to an unexpected conflict, she went above and beyond, helping to ensure that the entrance staff at the chapel of bones would honor his ticket the following day. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

A few hours in Évora - We were driving through Évora on our way to the Algarve and planned this tour in advance of the drive. So glad we did! Raquel is a marvelous guide: friendly, knowledgable, and patient. She showed us so much of the town in just over two hours and we left satisfied. Highly recommend!

Évora: A Family Adventure - Just got back from a sweet tour in Évora with my wife and kids. We rolled into town last Thursday, and this place is something else. The tour guide, took us around the city, sharing stories that brought the history to life. The kids were into it, and that's saying something.
Rachael even pointed us to this restaurant where we had the best porco prieto (back pork) ever. The whole fam was happy and full.
If you're ever in Évora, chose this tour. You won't be disappointed.
