We were very much looking forward to this tour but unfortunately the weather wasn't that great especially by Portuguese standards we were told. However it turned out to be a wonderful day out. Evora is beautiful. We also got the chance to learn everything about cork and olive oil and buy REAL cork items since a lot of it in the corner shops in Lisbon seems to be fake. Great lunch (be careful if you're a vegetarian since there aren't a lot of options and that applies to Portugal in general) and amazing wines with a very informative and enthusiastic presentation from Mariana at Ribafreixo (?) estate. Our guide Paolo was also very polite and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

I had a really good experience with Rogue Agent last time I was in Portugal so I asked them if they could pick me and my parents up from Faro and take us to Lisbon with some stops on the way. Luis was very accommodating and he organized a tour of Evora for us and a classy lunch + wine tasting which made us snooze all the way to Lisbon! My parents also loved it.
This company canceled my tour as I was boarding the plane to Portugal! They didn’t have enough people but if I wanted to pay an additional 100 euro that would take us.hummmm beware. I searched around and found a winery close to Evora and just took a taxi.

We were two couples who had a private tour to the area of Evora, a cork factory & winery with olive oil tasting. We were picked up in a very nice car. Our guide Luis was very friendly & speaks excellent English having lived abroad. The cork factory was so interesting. We learned so much. And the bonus was that they had items made out of cork that you could purchase and this is actual Portuguese cork that they manufacture and then they manufacture so you know it’s genuine because most of the other garbage that you see is coming in from China. Winery is super modern and very stylish. We really enjoyed the wine tasting and the olive oils. The only slight disappointment to the day was that the chef at the winery where we were going to have a lovely lunch at was out ill and therefore the restaurant was closed and we ate in a local restaurant in Evora which although adequate was not as interesting as being able to eat from the chef’s menu at the winery. Of course this was not the fault of ou

I scheduled this tour for my mother and 20 yr. old daughter after hearing that Luis had two spots available. What a day they had! Luis is such a gentleman and treated them like family! He is super knowledgeable about the areas they visited and is so personable- and funny! I mentioned to Luís that my mother couldn’t walk great distances and he made sure she was comfortable all day, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend booking with this company if you are looking for a tour guide who truly cares about his customers and is determined to make a memorable day for them! (And, according to my mother, he is a great driver too.)
