  • Elvas Castle, Elvas, Portugal
    Visit Elvas is truly one of Portugal’s hidden gems, an historic and wonderfully preserved town situated on the arid plains of the Portuguese-Spanish border. Elvas is located in the far east of the country, and few tourists rarely consider visiting, but those who make the journey will be rewarded with a fascinating town rich in history and beauty.
    120 minutes
  • Museu Militar de Elvas, Elvas, Portugal
    Elvas so highly fortified - The rugged landscape of the Portuguese-Spanish border made the region surrounding Elvas the natural crossing point between the two countries. When King John declared Portugal independent from Spain in 1640, a massive defensive construction project was initiated to make Elvas the first line of defence against any Spanish invasion. The walls of the city were designed so that no side was left unprotected, resulting in the formation of a unique star arrangement comprising bastions, ravelins and hidden passages.
    60 minutes
  • Catedral de Elvas, Elvas, Portugal
    Francisco de Arruda was Portugal’s foremost at the start of the 16th century. He worked on the Portuguese national treasure, the Torre de Belém and came to Elvas to help design the aqueduct and the Manueline rebuild of the city’s cathedral. The Manueline decor survives on the lateral portal, which has a multifoil arch and vegetal carvings, and in the fastidiously sculpted pillars and vaults of the central nave. There’s also decoration from the 18th century, when chancel’s altar, carved from Estremoz marble, and the Baroque gilded woodcarving on the organ case were installed. A scenic and picturesque town, Elvas has barely been altered since the era of grandiose forts and destructive cannons. All of the town's defences have been lovingly restored and can be fully explored, including the two forts of Santa Luizia and Nossa Senhora da Graca. Inside the town you’ll find cobbled streets, ancient churches, white-washed roads, and small, family-run restaurants. The lack of major tourist development means that hotels are small, personal and good value, while there’s a relaxed – if somewhat conservative – atmosphere about the town. Elvas’ rich and intriguing history has so much to offer the intrepid visitor, and is highly recommended as an inclusion on any tour of central Portugal.
    30 minutes
  • Elvas Castle, Elvas, Portugal
    Visit the highest point in the north of the town is the earliest part of Elvas’ defences. The medieval castle is anchored in the 700s when the Moors fortified this hill. Later, from 1166 to 1230, the stronghold was taken and lost by Christian forces until the Moors finally abandoned the territory. Come to poke around for an hour or two, taking the exciting stone passageway and staircase up to the battlements where the landscapes will leave you lost for words. You’ll realise just how close to Spain we are here when you spot the town of Badajoz to the west.
    30 minutes
  • Ayuntamiento de Badajoz, Badajoz, Spain
    Visit Badajoz - Spain a land of castles, historic towns, and art and architecture. Great theatre classics that come back to life every summer under the light of the moon. Gastronomic delicacies with their very own Designation of Origin.
    60 minutes
  • Badajoz, Spain
    Badajoz, a fortress dedicated to art - The Arab Alcazaba, or fortress, presides the ancient defensive system of bastions and city walls. Many of these fortified spaces have been restored and are now places dedicated to culture. The MEIAC, the Archaeological Museum and the Carnival Museum are a few examples.
    30 minutes
  • Ayuntamiento de Badajoz, Badajoz, Spain
    Mérida, the way it was in Roman Empire times - This is a World Heritage site, and it's definitely bound to make an impression.

The most memorable thing about this trip is that it was canceled with no warning whatsoever. Only when I called the operator was I told it was cancelled twenty minutes after scheduled pickup. The other memorable thing is that you already knew that this occurred and you insult me with an email asking how was my trip as if it happened!

We booked this tour before Covid and had to reschedule. But we are very glad Knight riders were able to fit us in with such short notice.Booking was easy and any correspondence was replied to quickly. It made our holiday and was an unforgettable experience. There is something for everyone on this trip. Lots to learn, amazing views and great food/drink. The best part of the day however, was our tour guide Hugo. Who went above and beyond to make the experience special for us. No request was too big or too small. He was knowledgeable, kind and friendly. 10/10 would recommend
