Our guide Joao was wonderful! He was full of great stories and well versed on the history of Evora and the Megaliths. He even managed to fit in an unscheduled visit to the Burial Chamber which was fascinating. Being picked up at our apartment was a huge plus. This was our 2nd tour with Around Lisbon Tours and we highly recommend them for their friendly, professional, and knowledgeable staff. Obrigada Joao for a great day!

This was a lovely day out to magnificent sites. There is a quietude and sense of history to the monoliths that is awe-inspiring. Nuno the guide was absolutely fantastic: knowledgeable and engaging, enthusiastic about his subjects and an excellent raconteur.

Full description

Explore the history of Portugal on a tour of Évora and the Megaliths of the Cromeleque dos Almendres. Following pickup from your hotel in Lisbon, make your way to Évora, the historic capital of the Alentejo.

Next, explore the UNESCO-classified city center of Évora. See remnants from Roman through Renaissance times. Visit the Temple of Diana and learn how cork is extracted from Cork Oak Trees.

Visit the medieval Évora Cathedral and climb to the roof to admire the golden plains surrounding the city. Continue to the Renaissance Church of St. Francis to see the Chapel of Bones, covered in human skulls and bones, before returning to Lisbon.

The Megaliths were good, although they weren’t the ones normally visited because of the road conditions. More time at the visitor center would’ve been good. Evora was very, very nice. We found a great place for lunch in Evora. The cathedral complex was very interesting and worth seeing
