    Luis from Rogue Agent was an excellent tour guide. He was so genuine, funny, and went out of his way to give us a meaningful experience. He knew a lot about our tour and the Alentejo. And if he didn’t know, he’d say so rather than give us a wrong answer. I’m very sensitive to motion sickness and I can attest that Luis is an excellent driver too. Completely recommend and would ask for him next time.

    Luis was the perfect guide for my two daughters and me. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and was able to give us so much more historical content than we expected. Highly recommended!

    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.

    What to expect

    Explore Évora.Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Évora is known as a “city-museum” filled with culturally significant landmarks and marked with a notable history. It is also the Alentejo’s regional capital and largest city. There is plenty to see and do to fill up a day of exploring, including visiting the eerily stunning Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos), snapping photos of the ancient Roman Temple, touring the Royal Palace, and enjoying a drink or coffee in the central square. Many popular Portuguese wines come from Alentejo so from Evora we will head to nearby Vila de Frades for a wine tour/tasting and a fantastic lunch followed by a visit to a cork producing estate. Speaking of lunch, next on the menu will be a visit to the one of the facilities of the biggest Portuguese olive oil brand where you will have an olive oil tasting. These are activities which many visitors are looking for these days. Why? Because it is something so natural and authentic in this region. Because the vineyards and olive trees have been in Alentejo for thousands of years and because the wine and the olive oil produced here is of outstanding quality.
