Great Guide/Interesting Tour - On the drive Diogo kept our interest by providing information about the area and what we were seeing along the way. He was knowledgeable about the history of the monoliths while humorously speaking about the possible ways they came to be. Diogo provided good suggestions of what we could see during our free time in Évora. He was engaging and friendly. Our one suggestion is that a microphone in the van would help.

Easy way to see Évora - This was a lovely way to get out of Lisbon. The tour guide picked us up right outside our hotel in a comfortable van. There were seven of us on the tour which was a good size. We had lunch with some of the tour members which was also nice. The chapel of bones and megalithic stones were our favorite parts.

Great time! Book this tour! - Diego was am incredible tour guide! He was able to pivot admirably when one of the standing stones sites was closed due to a road being washed out. In the end, we got to see another really incredible site! He was very good about answering our questions, delivering good history, and being overall very personable. 5/5 stars!

Alentejo in Bloom - I enjoyed the scope of information offered by our guide, Tiago. He was knowledgeable and affable. The megaliths were fascinating, and I learned much at the cork factory. He guided us well through the intermittent rain showers. Alentejo is beautiful in the spring, resplendent with beautiful wildflowers.

Our guide was very good... - Our guide was very good so our rating of a four rather than a five is not for him. It was just a very long ride there and back for the amount of time touring. He made the time in the car informative but still very long time.
