2.Évora: Private walking tour, By Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 87 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $74

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."”
