The guides were very really easy going and incredibly knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We loved this tour, the half hour drive was enough time to learn about the surrounding area and the history of the evora region.
We had a wonderful time in this tour with Bianca and Goncalo. Their communication was very helpful as they know the area & climate very well. Their useful tips on clothing and what bring for the summer weather helped us stay comfortable and beat the summer heat. Their knowledge about the history of the area and the Cromlechs was fantastic; we had a lot of questions and were learned so much from them. We had such a good time chatting with them, they are wonderful tour guides. I’d highly recommend this tour or any tour they do.

The Guides were excellent! They took time to answer our questions, and were very knowledgeable! It was an amazing experience with trained Archaeologists as our guides.

Thank you! :)
We had a great experience and the weather was perfect. Had it been wet, the track would have been difficult but if you come prepared with proper footwear, then you should have a great time.

Thanks!
Beautiful walk out in the cork orchard with Bianca and Gonzalo. They were very informative and fun. There was a larger tour group following us but I noticed no lectures provided- just transportation. We truly enjoyed our morning and learned so much. Wear sturdy footwear the path can be a bit tricky.

A wonderful experience with two fantastic guides. Their knowledge of the site is extensive and very interestingly relayed. A momentary connection to 7,000 years ago.

Thank you!! :)
Gonzalo and Bianca were absolutely incredible today! Because of the previous storms we had to change plans for the tour, but it couldn’t have went better. This is undoubtably one of our favorite tours we have ever taken. We came away with a deeper appreciation of our ancestors that erected these structures, but humanity in general at a time when we need it the most. This tour was life changing for us. The professionalism, knowledge and sense of humor this team has makes the tour fascinating and comfortable. By the end of the tour you feel like friends. Thank you guys!

Bianca and her partner run a private tour company. She is an archeologist and it showed, with her passion and objectivity. These 7,000 year old monoliths were fascinating to see and ponder their purpose. Highly recommended

Getting a tour of these sites from archeologists, Bianca and Gonzalo was a delight. They shared great context that helped spark curiosity and appreciation for the sites as they shared their knowledge. The guides were incredibly friendly, spoke excellent English, and transportation was easy. 10/10 recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words!
Our guides are archeologists who are well informed about the Cormlech Megaliths. They drove us out to the site and provided information along the way. It was a beautiful and interesting excursion.

This was a great tour with two experienced archeologists, Bianca and Gonzalo. There are so many fascinating sites near Evora.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for your kind words!
Very interesting and impressive monuments, thousands of years older than Stonehenge. Led by two trained archaeologists that could switch effortlessly between perfect English and perfect Portuguese. They explained what is known about these monuments, how they were made, what is known about the people that made them, and the rediscovery and conservation. Definitely the highlight of our trip to Evora, highly recommended.

Thank you very much for your kind words!
Because our flight was delayed more than a day, we unfortunately didn't arrive in Portugal in time to make this tour. I wanted to write a review, though, to commend Bianca and Goncalo for reaching out prior. She added me to her WhatsApp and gave clear instructions with photos of how to find her and her partner, adding that she was looking forward to showing us Evora. When I had to cancel, she was very accommodating, offering to accommodate our new travel schedule, and ultimately processing a refund when we couldn't come up with a solution. I look forward to returning to Portugal soon and rescheduling, to meet her and see Evora.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to write this thoughtful message! Hope you had a great trip!
Bianca and Goncalo were excellent tour guides. Both have degrees in archeology so they could really give a thorough overview of each one of the three sights. They explained the time frame of each sight, purpose of the sight and how such large stones were moved.
They also provided a history of Evora and information about today in Evora. Thanks for a great tour.

This tour was wonderful. The guides were very knowledgeable and engaging. It was great to be able to learn more about the megalith sites from people with such a strong background in archaeology.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you! :)
The three megalith sites we visited were made extremely interesting by our two guides who were excellent. We learnt a lot about the history and mystery of the stones and how and why they had been situated in the locations.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you, Anne!
This tour was amazing ! We spent over 3.5 hours with our guides Briana and her husband who gave an outstanding presentation and conversation to the history and archeological significance of the Megaliths and Cromlech sites . Their personal and professional insights were very interesting- a definite recommendation if you are visiting Evora!

This tour was the absolute highlight of a fantastic trip to Portugal. Bianca and Gonzalo were wonderful tour guides, kind people and incredibly knowledgeable about local archaeology. They were able to answer all 8 million of my questions. The tour was fascinating, the Portuguese countryside was stunningly beautiful and the monuments themselves were an awesome thing to behold. I cannot recommend this tour anymore highly. If you are interested in learning about our past, you will LOVE it. 10/10
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for your kind words! It was so much fun showing you both around!
The guides were very knowledgeable and a joy to talk to. The sites were very interesting and it was amazing to be in the cork forests.

Thank you! :)
Two fantastic guides, they know what they are on about. I had a lovely half tour. The meeting spot was easy.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you so much!
The background provided by our guide this a much richer and interesting experience. Moreover, most of the sites we went to were way off the beaten trail so you'd be unlikely to get there without a guide. The local tourist office needs to improve the roads to them, however. The sites could get more traffic (and tourist dollars) if people could find having to rent a 4-wheel drive SUV or bottoming out their rental car in the ruts!

Thank you for your kind review!
We really enjoyed this tour of the megaliths. Bianca and Gonçalvo were great guides and answered all of our questions. It was so helpful to see these sites and have professional insight and explanations for the ruins. It was so much better than trying to do a self-guided tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed!
We were amazed to see such ancient structures. Bianca and Goncalo are incredibly knowledgeable about the megaliths and the region in general. They are perfectly suited for this tour. It is obvious that they genuinely enjoy sharing their love and interest in archeology with us. We recommend going in the morning to beat the heat. You should do this tour!

Exactly as advertised from pickup to return. The megalithic sites were amazing and the guides were knowledgeable and personable.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you!
We enjoyed the enthusiasm, insght and opinion of our very personable guides. They were highly knowledgeable about the pre-historic and neo-lithic periods as well as specifics of the Iberian Peninsula's finds. Not dry and boring, they put life into the life and times of this period.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you for your kind words, Scott!
Bianca and her partner Gonzalo were friendly and knowledgeable. Furthermore, and contrary to too many guides, they didn’t try to talk or expose literally all the time. Some moments of silence, mixed with key pedagogical informations at the right time, is the right way to go. And they understood that.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Many thanks, Michel!
Friendly, knowledgeable guides! Saw a lot (went to 3 sites - each very unique), and learned a lot about the history of the area, how the megaliths were discovered, theories on what they mean. Loved the excursion. Would highly recommend!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you so much for the kind review!
Archaeologists Bianca and Goncalo are outstanding guides who brought us to three Neolithic structures dating back more than 6,000 years. We walked along a path aligned with beautiful wildflowers amidst a field of cork trees to reach the site of the Menhir Dos Almendres, an enormous single standing stone. It was an exhilarating experience to see the two stone circles of the Cromlech of Alemendres. The Dolmen of Zambujeiro, an enormous single chamber tomb, was a truly impressive monument. At all three megalithic sites, Bianca and Goncalo passionately conveyed their scientific and cultural knowledge of the Neolithic period.
