Fomos à Évora no dia 18.11.2022 com a Agência Estrela D'alva (Sr. Pedro) e foi tudo impecável, desde o momento anterior de planejamento do tour, por meio da Sra. Filomena, como o próprio passeio. O nosso guia Pedro foi muito simpático, profissional e tivemos flexibilidade para adequar o nosso roteiro àquilo que mais interessava ao grupo. Recomendo!

Recomendo a Estrela d' Alva. Passeio nota 10! Filó e Pedro são excepcionais e muito atenciosos. Foi uma experiência inesquecível conhecer Portugal, em especial o passeio em Évora e vinícola Fundação Eugênio Almeida.
