Évora is much more than a point on the map. We’ve walked its streets and delved into its history beyond the pages of books. We want to guide you on an authentic journey, like a conversation with a friend eager to share the city’s secrets.

Feel the past as you walk along ancient walls, explore the living history of the University of Évora and the mystery of the Chapel of Bones, and immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of Praça do Giraldo. Whether it’s your first visit or a rediscovery, join us to explore an Évora that goes far beyond a tourist postcard.

Enjoyable tour of the university, fortifications, bone chapel and the Roman ruins. Anildo, our guide, was knowledgeable and accommodating. Lots of walking on stone and it radiates heat. Only Intermittent shade available, so early morning or late afternoon touring is highly advisable.
A nice way to see Evora

A walking tour of Évora is well worth it for all you learn about the university and many other city landmarks. In addition to the university we visited the cathedral, The Chapel of Bones, St. Francisco church, and the Roman temple. Our guide was very nice and very knowledgeable. He adjusted the tour due the rain which we appreciated.
Wonderful experience

Rachael was a fantastic and very knowledgeable guide, she guided us through the beautiful town of Évora. It was a super hot day, she stopped and bought us water along the way. She even went as far as providing tips including links to places to visit and restaurants for our remaining days in Lisbon! Would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our Évora walking tour! Raquel prepared an excellently curated route through the old city, visiting all of the highlights (the university, the Roman temple, the center of the city, the Chapel of Bones, etc.) while providing fascinating details throughout about the history of Évora and Portugal. Her wealth of knowledge was truly impressive, and as the tour went on she adjusted some of her points of emphasis to fit our interests. And when a member of our party had to leave before the end of the tour due to an unexpected conflict, she went above and beyond, helping to ensure that the entrance staff at the chapel of bones would honor his ticket the following day. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

We were driving through Évora on our way to the Algarve and planned this tour in advance of the drive. So glad we did! Raquel is a marvelous guide: friendly, knowledgable, and patient. She showed us so much of the town in just over two hours and we left satisfied. Highly recommend!
