Lisbon · ÉVORA DAY TRIPS FROM LISBON
Évora is a walled Roman town with a chapel lined in bones, and the megaliths outside it are older than Stonehenge. These 11 trips are long days, so compare the group sizes and whether wine is part of it.
Travel from Lisbon with guides such as Nuno, Diogo, Tiago, or João to the Almendres megaliths and historic Évora. Expect comfortable transport, cork-country views, free time for lunch, the Roman Temple, cathedral, and Chapel of Bones. Small-group and private options are available.
“The tour guide was one of the best I ever had 10/10 experience”
Travel from Lisbon to Évora in a small group, visit the Chapel of Bones, see the Roman Temple and cathedral, enjoy free time for lunch, and taste Alentejo wine near Monsaraz. Guides such as Ricky, Ricardo, Carlos, and Andrea have been praised for clear explanations and friendly service.
“Evora was an interesting place to see. The tour guide gave us a brief description and not much else. At times he selected a location to speak where other groups were conversing and we couldn’t hear. The tour guide drove at 150 km/hr (93 mph) following other vehicles about one car length behind. Even after we complained he continued the practice.”
Travel from Lisbon with a private guide such as Carlos, Pedro, Miguel, Sonia, or Valerio. Visit Évora’s Chapel of Bones and Roman Temple, see hilltop Monsaraz, taste local wine, enjoy Alentejo food, and adjust the day to your interests.
“My friends and I had a great day with Pedro, exploring Portugal. We stopped at a pottery store on the way to Monseraz, a beautiful small town on a hill, where we had a wine tasting. Then we drove over to Evora to see the the Chapel of Bones and eat lunch. One thing to keep in mind - the cost of the wine tasting, lunch, and chapel of bones are not included. Those are additional.”

“This trip was amazing. I learned so much from our guide who was extremely knowledgeable. Philip was kind and such a pleasure to meet.
