Most Beautiful Parts of Portugal - This tour goes to some of the most beautiful places in Portugal. We saw and learned about historical places that were very interesting. However, the views from these sites was drop dead gorgeous. We loved our tour guides Alejandro and Miguel. They were fun to tour with.

A perfect day - Had a wonderful day with GUI. He took us to evora which was very interesting. After leaving there, we were able to change our plans and go to a cork factory and to a vineyard. What a wonderful afternoon it was. The cork factory is definitely a must. And the wine was wonderful. We had such a great day with such a nice friend. Thank you again,GUI. Carl and Chris

Fantastic tour with Joao Pedro as our guide - A all-day private tour like this is so much worth the cost if you are lucky enough to have an excellent tour guide like Joao Pedro. One important item to note is that we were never rushed or felt rushed to see something in a certain time period, we always had plenty of time to enjoy the area we were visiting. Although I had considered simply taking a train to visit Evora we would have made a very big mistake. Since Joao was/is also an agricultural engineer we learned all about the local farming in this part of Portugal as we drove to the various destinations along the way. We also have a change to stop and look at cork trees and learn how the cork is harvested and graded. In Evora it seemed like every 10 minutes someone would say hello to him as he went to school there and still has many friends in the area. Needless to say, we were very happy we had Joao as our guide again as we had also had him the day before on another tour. If you have Joao as a guide, be ready to learn and be entertained at the same time.

Fantastic experience - Joo explained so many things to us and took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch. We were able to experience the “ black pig”. The views were amazing and the history fascinating. It would be hard to find a better tour guide.

Awesome Tour and Great Guide - The Tour we did of Évora and Monsaraz from Lisbon, which in my opinion is highly recommendable, was quite exciting in terms of history and very beautiful sightseeing as well. Both villages deserve to be seen, on the other hand, we were very fortunate to get the tour from such a diligent and knowledgeable guide. Joao was very dedicated to providing us with a tour to remember. His English was perfect and his best quality, as a Tour guide, was the fact that he was extremely communicative, therefore, providing you with a lot of information by using also his excellent storyteller capabilities. We were delighted because of his extensive knowledge about the history of these places but mainly, very surprised about how much he knew regarding agronomy. It was a real pleasure to meet Joao and enjoy his friendly company. The trip from Lisbon to the village takes about 1 1/2 hour which was done in a comfortable SUV. Certainly, very old and well maintained beautiful Villages and a guide like behave as your best friend.
