“Excelente tour personalizado”
Raquel nos brindó un excelente tour, adaptado a las necesidades de toda mi familia. Interactuó mucho con mis hijos de 7 y 10 años, y adaptó el recorrido para mis papás que tienen 80 años y alguna restricción de movilidad. Raquel es muy conocedora de la historia y nos pareció una tremenda experiencia para conocer la historia de la virgen de Fátima. Gracias Raquel!

Évora Private Half-Day Walking Tour
This city isn’t where my story started, but it’s definitely where I found my place. I didn’t grow up here, but there’s no question that I belong. I studied here, yet the real lessons went far beyond the classroom. Think of this tour as a laid-back conversation with a friend, sharing Évora’s hidden stories and quirks. Just an easy, genuine walk through a city that’s far more than a picture-perfect backdrop; it’s part of me. Ready to see Évora from my perspective?
