    An excellent tour through the history of Vila Vicosa, with stories about the wars with the Spanish, the history of the castle, the Dukes of Briganza and the fortunes of more recent characters. Our guide grew up within the castle walls and is truly an expert when it comes to the history of her town. This gave the tour a nice personal touch.

    Our guide, Joaquina, was born and bred in Vila Viçosa so her knowledege and love of the town was evident throughout. We learned lots of interesting historical details and stories that brought the place to life in a way that we would never have accessed without her insights.

    What an incredible experience! We loved our walking tour through this beautiful town to learn its history and admire the gorgeous architecture. Our tour guide, Joaquina a local resident, born and raised in the town gave wonderful insight with passion. She is a fantastic guide! One of the best we have had in all our travels through Europe! Thank you again for a wonderful afternoon. Highly recommend this tour!

    We signed up for the tour on the advice of friends who did the same tour last fall. They raved about the experience and showed us their incredible photos. Photos do not do justice to the scale and visual impact of visiting the quarries in person. We learned so much about marble in general and especially Vila Vicosa marble. Joao from the Portugal Marble Route Team was so informative and helpful that he made the tour fun and very personal. He answered all our questions and more.

    A perfect excursion to learn more about Portugal and how its history is interlined with this small town. Our guide, João, who appears to be a local celebrity, shared his love for the city and the history of the castle, palace and several magnificent churches. We really enjoyed his company. Moreover, he was very kind and suggested a great place to eat.
