On this tour we will start visiting Elvas City where you will find the largest bulwarked dry-ditch system of fortifications in the World. Dating back to the 17th Century, these military structures were a remarkable architecture construction of that time, that guaranteed the defense against the Spanish invasions.
Their iconic star-shaped defensive walls together with the forts beyond the city have earned the town UNESCO World Heritage status. We will visit Forte da Graça one of the satellite forts in the city.
We will dedicate our afternoon to explore Évora.
Once in the city center, we will have a guided tour of the Roman Temple, the Cathedral of Évora and the Church of São Francisco with a visit to the chapel of the bones.

Best choice for Portugal experience
Susana was very knowledgeable of everything related to the tour and more. She gave us excellent background history of Portugal and the areas we are visiting, provided vital context for our visit. She made reservations for us at the best restaurant in Evora, the varieties of the tasting menu made the whole experience complete. But above all, she was enthusiastic about giving us the best experience possible, showed passion for her job, and really cared about our enjoyment and learning about Portugal. We made some changes to our plans, and she was willing and able to re-arrange the itinerary to make sure we got everything we asked for and more. Given that there is so much more to see in Portugal, we will definitely consider asking for her help if we return.
