Free Walking Tours through Old Evora

Elza provided a great tour of Evora. Her knowledge of Portuguese and area history was impressive and really brought the sites we saw to life. Highly recommend this tour and guide!

We can’t say enough about Elza and her amazing tour of Evora. Her letter gave us perfect directions with a link to the meeting point. Her English was perfect and knowledge and insight outstanding. We came to Evora blind and after her walk we felt well informed and ready to start exploring on our own. Muito obrigado Elza!

Excellent tour for information and orientation to Évora. Eliza was great - knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend.

Elza done an amazing tour taking us to the historical sites, Elza’s knowledge and passion for Evora is fantastic, so much history in a small Portuguese medieval city, I have so much more to learn. Thank you Eliza

Elza is very professional and made the tour very instructive!

The meeting point was labelled R. do Muro 2E5. Neither we nor the cab driver knew what 2E5 meant. "We're behind the wall close to the cross bewtween Rua do Muro and Rua Candido dos Reias." A cross is a religious symbol. We spent 10 ninutes looking for a cross. Even a few people at a nearby convent could not help us. Eventually we found our tour. I wish the organizations that run these tours would specify the FINAL DESTINATION as well as the meeting point so that we could organize ourselves better. It is not nice when you finish far away from your hotel and the starting point. Now to the good stuff. Of the three walking tours we have had so far during our Portugal holiday this was by far the best. Our guide, Elza I think, was fabulous. Our stops were relatively short and Elza was full of useful information, mostly historical and very interesting. Her personality was perfect for the job. We all thought she was exceptionally good. By the way, 12 people on the walk is so much better than 25. Anyway, the tour was terrific and if you are lucky enough to be led by Elza, you will be most fortunate.

Elza was a fabulous tour guide really bringing to life our day in Evora. She's not only a great historian but also shared a local's perspective on living in the Evora area.

This tour was so informative. Although you could see all the places on your own you would never get to fully appreciate them without the colourful and descriptive history Elza provides. If you are staying in Evora for a few days this tour is a reco ended must do on day 1. The remainder of your stay will be so much richer.

It was excellent! I recommend that there is a map to show us where we went. There is so much to see and learn!

Our tour guide, Elza, was very knowledgeable, informative, and friendly. Her love for the city of Evora shines through in everything that she said, and we enjoyed experiencing the city through her eyes. A huge thumbs up from our entire group (4 adults)!

Elza was very informative and gave us a thorough historical overview of Evora. It was very interesting and we learned much more than we would have if we just walked around ourselves.

Elza was amazing! She was one of the best tour guides in the long time we had! Very professional, very knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor! She showed all main areas of the old town and the south town, and covered all of the main aspects of the city, of all religions and all eras that the town went through. Whenever gave recommendations for places to visit after the tour and restaurants in town.

Sehr informativ, sehr gut, gute , danke an Elza

Elza was very knowledgeable and a fantastic guide. It was raining but she found great locations and didn't feel rushed. Thanks Elza for a great tour

A Elza foi muito prestável, muito simpática e respondeu a todas as nossas dúvidas. Explicou tudo muito bem e deu boas sugestões de onde comer e o que fazer.

Highly recomend this tour

Excellent tour with Elza! We only had a day in Évora, and we would have missed so much on our own! We loved hearing about the rich history of the area and seeing the important sites. Highly recommend!!

We were late catching up to group as train was delayed but Elza did her best to repeat to story of Évora but we missed a lot of her story out fault not hers Overall a great guide

Elza was a fantastic tour guide. So knowledgeable about Evora and its history. We covered so much stuff in our time with her and were really grateful of the various extra things she showed us which meant that we didn't have to make our way back to see these things another time. We were about 2.5 hours on our walking tour and didn't feel like we walked very far as so much of the time was spent talking about the history. It was a very relaxed pace and Elza was happy to answer questions or cater to the needs of our small group. It was fab.

Fascinating tour with very well-informed guide.

We took a Historical walking tour of Évora and Elza brought the walled city to life. She was a wealth of information and made our tour very interestIng and fun.

Great tour, Elsa is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Evora history. Highly recommend!

The tour was great. Very personable and informative. We really enjoyed the afternoon.
