Joo explained so many things to us and took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch. We were able to experience the “ black pig”. The views were amazing and the history fascinating. It would be hard to find a better tour guide.

The Tour we did of Évora and Monsaraz from Lisbon, which in my opinion is highly recommendable, was quite exciting in terms of history and very beautiful sightseeing as well. Both villages deserve to be seen, on the other hand, we were very fortunate to get the tour from such a diligent and knowledgeable guide.
Joao was very dedicated to providing us with a tour to remember. His English was perfect and his best quality, as a Tour guide, was the fact that he was extremely communicative, therefore, providing you with a lot of information by using also his excellent storyteller capabilities.
We were delighted because of his extensive knowledge about the history of these places but mainly, very surprised about how much he knew regarding agronomy. It was a real pleasure to meet Joao and enjoy his friendly company. The trip from Lisbon to the village takes about 1 1/2 hour which was done in a comfortable SUV.
Certainly, very old and well maintained beautiful Villages and a guide like behave as your best friend.

Our tour guide João Pedro is a fantastic guide. In the past he had lived with in this area for many years and is very knowledgeable. João gave us a wonderful understanding of the history of Evora and Monsaraz. He took us to a beautiful restaurant for lunch cafe Alentejo and we highly recommend the food. João explained the importance of cork to the region and showed as almond and cork tree. We had a fantastic time and we highly recommend this tour.

I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Lisbon. António is so friendly and knowledgeable about the entire area. The drive is a little long from Lisbon (we brought a deck of cards and our three kids were able to entertain themselves) but António gave us an excellent overview of the history of the countryside surrounding Lisbon and Évora. The cities we visited were very impressive. My two younger ones (ages 10 and 7) thought the Chapel of Bones was too spooky but my 13 year old thought it was very cool.
The communication from Jump in Tours was excellent - they confirmed our pickup location ahead of time, and easily accommodated some last minute changes we had to make because of the local workers strike.
