About
This tour will take you to Évora, an UNESCO world heritage site, where medieval streets and beautiful typical Portuguese houses coexist.
Start the tour to the south, passing over the 25th April bridge at Lisbon also known as the Golden Gate replica, and enjoy the drive through the country side of Portugal.
On arrival at Évora, beside the Historical Center, there are nearby a lot of interesting points to visit, such as Evora's Roman Temple, the Cathedral, Saint Francis church, King Manuel Royal Palace and it's gardens, the local market, and one of the most famous and iconic places, the Chapel of Bones. Enjoy some free time for lunch and exploring on your own.
Onwards, you will travel towards the border between Portugal and Spain, to discover Monsaraz Castle, one of the conquered and gaven castles to the Knights Templar order.

- 371annaliseb0 contributionsGreat private tour!I strongly recommend booking the tour with Goncalo. He was incredibly accommodating and informative. I had already been in Portugal for a while but I learned much more than anticipated. Great overall experience!Written 3 March 2025
- sophiei8200 contributionsWe love Goncalo!!!!We couldn’t have had a better experience or tour guide! He took us all around Lisbon to the best spots and was so patient with our photo taking and silliness. He was so kind and even extended the tour over an hour past the ending time. I recommend this tour more than anything in Lisbon!!!Written 23 February 2025
- annaoS9707ZX0 contributionsTour with Goncalo!!I highly recommend the half day tour with Goncalo! He picked us up at our Airbnb at 9am and we got to see the whole city with time in the afternoon for ourselves. He was fun, kind, and so knowledgeable about the city. He also let us customize our tour to add an extra stop! Overall the best experience I’ve had on a tour and I’m so glad we chose this one. Especially if you have a larger group, I recommend doing this tour because we were able to fit 7 girls in a van comfortably. 100/10 experience you won’t regret doing this tour!Written 22 February 2025
- Melanie G0 contributionsGonçalo Cruz Tour ReviewGonçalo was the perfect tour guide. We did the entire city in half a day.

- mcaban20180 contributionsGreat day.Worth going on this tour. Fatima was amazing. We were able to catch some of the mass at Basilica as well as the rosary in the outdoor chapel. The new church was also distinctive. The views of the waves at Nazare were great. The monastery in Batalha was interesting. The medieval town of Obidos was enchanting with Christmas theme and lights. Best of all was our guide Goncalo Cruz, very patient answering all questions, providing in-depth and cultural information, professional and charming. His love for country, history and chosen profession is very apparent. Bravo.Written 29 November 2024
- jbg740 contributionsAmazing Guide and TourThis was an excellent private tour with Goncalo. He speaks good English and has a very nice, comfortable car. He is a very knowledgeable and personable guide. We really enjoyed this tour. The Queluz Palace was absolutely amazing. It was the highlight of the tour. The gardens and the tile canal are incredible. There are some beautiful rooms and chandeliers in the palace too. The Mafra Monastery is also quite nice. This is an excellent tour especially if you have already done a couple of the top sites like the Pena Palace.Written 20 November 2024
- 613kristanl0 contributionsGonzalo…Unbeatable Guide 😎We can’t say enough about our tour with Gonzalo…it was perfect from start to finish. The passion, knowledge and kindness was so so much more than we could have expected… thank you Gonzalo and anyone that has the opportunity to have you as their guide will be in the best of hands!!!Written 22 October 2024
- Colleentraveling0 contributionsGreat 1.5 days with Goncalo. Well worth the money for these tours!Fabulous tour with Goncalo....he is knowledgeable, fun and speaks great english. He took us everywhere the tour outlines and gave our group of 6 ladies lots of free time to look around in each place. He has a great sense of humour and is very flexible with special requests (like bathroom breaks :). Nice, clean Mercedes SUV with free bottles of water in case we were thirsty - picked us up, on time, at our cruiseship port and dropped us back, right on schedule. Well worth the money. Highly recommend. We also did the 1/2 day Lisboa tour with him the next day and he took us all around Lisbon, showing us the various highlights of the city and allowed us time to shop. In all, a fabulous day and a half. If you are going all the way to Lisbon, you may as well let Goncalo show you around. Very informative and enjoyable tours. Thank you Goncalo!Written 18 October 2024
- MelRick970 contributionsGreat tour with an excellent guideWe had a wonderful day with Gonçalo. Each stop on the tour was unique, we enjoyed getting to experience the different sites and villages both with him and when we went off on our own with some recommendations from him. At each stop and while traveling between Gonçalo shared a wealth of information about the site, history, and culture. When we encountered some road closures that impacted the plan for the day he quickly came up with options for us and we continued on our way having a great day. We highly recommend any tour led by Gonçalo!Written 16 October 2024
- andrewlF1336WY0 contributionsThe most beautiful place in PortugalAmazing views and an incredibly pretty town to spend time in. It is ridiculously popular. Our guide Goncalo knew the perfect ways in and out and the right times to avoid peek traffic while we still feel like we got the full Sintra experience. You will get all of the information and more on this tour and come out amazed and educated!Written 3 October 2024
- andrewlF1336WY0 contributionsYou gotta see the chapel of bones!Amazing trip. We booked this kind of on a whim and it turned out the be an amazing day! Chapel of bones, evora, and all the other sights had so much history. The best part was our tour guide Goncalo. He was incredibly knowledgeable, an amazing historian, and would not let anything go wrong.Written 3 October 2024

Goncola was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable about the city of Evora, and friendly. Gave great recommendations of places to eat in the city and restaurants in Lisbon close to our hostel where we were staying. We had a separate tour for Sintra that was cancelled and Goncola was able to take us last minute. He did a fantastic job of beating the crowds and showing spots even though the monuments were closed. Highly recommend him as a tour guide in the city.
