Elze was very knowledgable about the history of Evora and keeps everybody interested in her story. We got a great overview of the city that helped us tour is in the next day.

We took this walking tour on our first afternoon in Evora and were lucky to get Joao as our guide! We spent the next several hours learning about Evora, its sites and history and listening to its stories from our knowledgeable guide. Joao was a wealth of information and his love for this city was evident. We strolled like friends throughout the city taking in many of the major sites. I especially liked some of the off the beaten path stops that we made such as the theater, roman wall, the library, the family owned school uniform shop and the pastry shop where we enjoyed a sweet cheese tart (dare I say better than a pastel de nota?!). Joao spent extra time with us and we thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. We did another tour the next day with this company and would highly recommend Backcountry Evora tourism tours!

Joao was a fabulous tour guide. He spoke excellent English and was cheerful and knowledgeable. He answered our many questions very kindly and he really brought Evora alive for us. Highly recommended!!!

The tour guide though knowledgeable and personable relied too much on discussions of ancient Portuguese history His presentation was more along the lines of a college seminar. I Was looking more for enlightenment on current Portuguese culture, political thought, and current events. Iwas disappointed

We had a great time on the tour. The cork forests and monoliths were super interesting in themselves and I also enjoyed learning about the area’s history and culture. João really knows his stuff and is a delight.

João was a fantastic guide through the beautiful city of Evora. We learned so much from him and appreciated all the personal attention he showed us during our morning together! His tour was a highlight of our entire trip through Portugal. Thank you, João, for sharing your city and your knowledge with us!

Joāo was really knowledgeable on the history of Evora and art. We really enjoyed this tour and learned loads! We were that happy that later in the afternoon we did a second tour with him (the Megaliths tour), just because we wanted to hear even more!
