Great service! Hotel pick up and drop off. Great narration by guide. Lunch was fantastic with generous servings and ample supplies of local wine. One of our best tour experiences.

The trip was quite disorganized at the start. The hotel pickup was prompt and on-time but not at all friendly. It wasn't clear that we were being transported to a central point to meet up with our actual tour. Once we got to the central point, there was confusion and chaos for nearly 20 minutes and 2 bus changes to get everyone settled. The tour itself was quite good and the guide was personable and knowledgeable. The tour included lunch and it was the first time this particular place had been used. There was a wedding that afternoon so we were placed in a hallway near the bathrooms away from the main area although the wedding was not scheduled for a few hours. The food and service were fine and we received complimentary wine, but the atmosphere could have been better. We thoroughly enjoyed Evora and recommend the trip if the logistics can be worked out.

We only had three people on the tour, my husband and I and a nice lady from Brazil, but it went on. I loved our guide.

Day started badly with a mix-up at the transfer point. Enjoyed this trip a lot as it was a small but very diverse group of people and the tour guide couldn't have tried harder to make it work.

The guide was nice but talked way too much and too long on every topic, not breaking up the Portuguese and English segments. The side trip to the Fonseca winery was an added bonus, but we had to wait around for another group to join us and then were rushed out at the end during the tasting/chance to buy wine. Lunch, however, was great!

Bus trip somewhat disorganized (had to take cab to meeting spot). Tour in 3 languages (had to wait for other 2 to be presented). Guide very knowledgable. Winery was so-so. Lunch at restaurant was excellent wilth great variety. All in all a worthwhile trip.

2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

We lost people from the tour and that put us late. Our guide should have been more explicit. She should have given us a time to wander and meet her back at the entrance of the stops. Also, she was not very loud talking about the tours. She should have stated to us that she would explain in Portuguese to that group, then in Spanish to that group, and so on. We that were English could not get close enough to hear her.

This is a typical 'big bus' tour. Inexperienced guide, uninterested in the events of the day. The bus A/C broke. Temp rose to 36 C inside the bus for hours. She did nothing nor apologized. Wine part is very weak. If you really know wine, this is a one stop, cheap slip and your gone. Skip this for a smaller tour or don't even go.

They assigned us on a group were the majority of the people spoke Portugese, so every time we had to wait for a VERY LONG explanation in Portugese, followed by a SHORTENED version in English. The morning part was interesting, the Roman Ruins are a VERY SMALL area in the town, not worth traveling so far to see. The afternoon part of the trip was a total waste, they took us to a winery were a "local tour guide" gave a great tour of the property in Portugese, followed by a very sad translation provided by our tour guide in very deficient English. There are other things to do, do not waste a day of your vacation, very expensive trip, total waste of money and time. DO NOT RECOMEND

The tour was very badly organized. We struggled to get reach of the tour agent and there was NO hotel pick up. The attractions in Evora weren't good enough for a day tour with a lot of hours on the bus.
