It was really something special. First of all i can't believe that it was not busy at all, such a beautiful place, there was only a few people and that's it, very underrated, but thank goodness for that i will say! We had the chance to see a lot of important things including the megaliths and the town of Evora, which i believe is one of the most beautiful towns in the country. It was a very chill tour and a perfect way to finish our holidays in Portugal. Nuno, our guide was exceptional! Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and gave us great suggestions for food, so we could try the local cuisine. Great day, highly recommended!

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.
Start the day with a tour of the Almendres Cromlech. Older than Stonehenge, this megalithic complex reveals some of the secrets of ancient civilizations and their knowledge of astronomy. Admire the circle of stones, mysteriously aligned with the sun and stars.
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.

I had a great time. Seeing the Megaliths and Evora were really a fantastic way of seeing a part of Portugal I would have missed without the tour.
