Évora was the preferred city for conquers and Kings. From a celtic place to a vibrant roman city, to a glorious Muslim period, conquered by Geraldo, the fearless cristian. In this tour we will visit praça do Geraldo, the cathedral, the Roman temple, “bones” chapel and the University of Evora. We will end this tour outside Evora, in a cromeleque, a pre-historical site.

About Tour Guide Marisa F.
Hello. My name is Marisa and I am a tour guide in the ancient, mysterious and beautiful city of Lisbon. Lisbon is an ancient city and Phoenicians, Romans, Muslims, Catholics passed through this city all left their mark in heritage, words and food. Lisbon was also a city of spies. Even the real James Bond ( yes, it was a real James Bond) lived here and worked here.
So, if you want to join me in this journey, I offer you, in Lisbon, 2 tours: a tour to discover the old town of Lisbon and a spy tour, focusing on world war II. But if you want to experience a magical place, I'll take you
to Pena Palace. Pena Palace is a must-see, in the beautiful, romantic and world heritage, Sintra Village.
And in the end, before you leave Portugal, I promise you will understand the true meaning of the Portuguese word Saudade.
See you soon. Goodbye or Adeus!

“A Fantastic Journey into Lisbon's World War II Espionage Scene”
We spent two fascinating hours with Marisa on her Spy Tour, walking the streets of Lisbon to see the historic meeting places and hotels of some of the city's most famous World War II spies. Marisa is so knowledgeable and an entertaining storyteller. We learned all about Agent Garbo and "Duško" Popov and the inspiration behind Ian Fleming's James Bond character. Marisa also gave us great insight into the atmosphere of Lisbon during the war, and how Salazar, Portugal's then dictator, navigated the tricky waters of neutrality. Marisa's expertise and enthusiasm for the topic shone. Her tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Lisbon's World War II history and in the history of wartime espionage. Thanks, Marisa!

Walking Tour in old Lisbon
Fenicians, Romans, Muslims, Christians, Jews, all those passes through Lisbon, changed the city and left their marks: the alphabet, the numbers, the architecture, the tiles, the poetry, the wine and the pastry. Come and join in a walking tour through Alfama, the neighborhood where Fado was born, the Cathedral, where the old mosque is buried, and the Jewish quarter. We finished with a coffee and a custard tart or a ginginha, who knows? It will be unforgettable, I promise you.
Sintra. the most romantic place on earth
As described by Lord Byron "Even on earth, Sintra is the most romantic place in Portugal or maybe in the world. With this beautiful historical centre, Sintra has many palaces but the most impressive is Pena Palace, a romantic palace at the top of the mountain. We start our guided tour in Lisbon, pick up the car and in 40 minutes we'll arrive. After a walk in the centre we will visit Pena Palace, After lunch, we move to Cascais, a privileged place chosen by royal families to live during
