Our guide, Pedro, picked us up promptly from our Air BNB, discussed the itinerary with us and then started on our trip to Monsaraz. I’m so glad we decided to go there, it was a beautiful city and we enjoyed the views. We then went to Evora to see the Roman temple. Unfortunately because it was Easter Sunday the Chapel of the Bones was closed and the market had only 1 shop open but we had a lovely stroll, lunch, and saw the sites of the town. Finally on the way home we stopped at Almendres Cromlech to see the prehistoric stones. The best part of the trip was Pedro! On the way he told us the history of Portugal in an interesting manner that helped all of the things I’d read come together. He was so knowledgeable about any topic and my husband especially enjoyed talking with him during the trip. He was very helpful and attentive to our needs and designed the tour around our interests (we didn’t care for a wine tasting for instance). All 3 of us enjoyed our day and were very satisfied. I hope we can return and take another tour with Pedro soon!
