“We spent a great day with our guide João touring the Setúbal wine region. João is super friendly, knowledgeable about history and wine making, and most importantly very passionate in introducing what he knows to us, including travel tips which prove to be super helpful. He is very accommodating to our needs and our knowledge of wines. The selection of wineries and wines tasted are a good mix of what’s representive in the region, and are arranged in a way that is very educational. We have learned a lot, thanks to the program as well as voice over by João. Definitely among the best wine tasting tours we have attended.”
Explore Évora with a private local guide, from Giraldo Square to the Roman Temple, with history, architecture, and practical tips.
“The tour was offered at 6:30 PM. What the tour provider failed to note was that all of the sites along the route were closed by that time, so nothing was available to see except building exteriors and the Roman ruins (described by our host as "not that important"). We would have been far better off simply taking a walking tour on our own earlier in the day, using a guide book. Save your money, and avoid this "tour."”
