Overview
This private tour day trip from Lisbon takes you to the Evora, Monsaraz and Mourão in the Alentejo region of Portugal and affords a rewarding 9 hours. Monsaraz has been inhabited since prehistoric times as the Celts, Romans, Visigoths and Moors each took full advantage of the hill's defensive potential. Regained from the Moors in 1167, the town was handed over to the Knights Templar before King Dinis added the castle and fortified walls in the 14th century. Visit a number of interesting prehistoric sites existing in Evora, Monsaraz and Mourão. With its trademark gastronomy and amazing wine Monsaraz. Evora is a delightful Portuguese town that was originally founded by the Romans, later fortified by the Moors and flourished during the 15th century. Mourão is proud of its monuments and traditions, like its Castle and the baroque Mother Church of Nossa Senhora das Candeias (17th and 18th centuries). Private tour also includes pick-up (8:30am)/drop-off (6:00pm), wine tasting and lunch.

What To Expect
Monsaraz
Suspended in time, the historic village, one of the oldest in Portugal, is a mandatory destination to add to your list of places to visit in Alentejo. Especially after, in 2017, it won the category “Monument Villages” in the competition 7 Maravilhas de Portugal – Aldeias (7 wonders of Portugal – Villages).

Mourao
Mourão has always been marked by the Guadiana river, that has much contributed for the surrounding fertile soils where olive and almond trees grow, among other pleasant trees that characterize the lovely landscape.
Mourão is proud of its monuments and traditions, like its Castle and the baroque Mother Church of Nossa Senhora das Candeias (17th and 18th centuries), and the many green areas around in the region, like the Mata de São Bento.

Reviews
Our guide, Hugo Oliveira, was knowledgeable, pleasant and well connected with the locals to ensure a *exceptional* experience! We took a second day-trip (Mafra/Ericeria) specifically with Hugo and enjoyed it equally as well!
