what our clients say about us

"We had a unique experience with the guide Paulo. He is a great professional with immense charisma and sympathy. He showed interest and care with us throughout the tour. It is very worthwhile and Évora is beautiful."

"In early December, our group of two couples used the services of Paulo and Portugal Cultural Experience. We visited several Megalithic structures and Escoural Cave. Paulo was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, geology, flora, and fauna of the area. I almost felt badly as the four of us peppered him the whole time with questions that he encouraged and graciously and competently answered. This was unquestionably one of the best tours we have taken and I credit Paulo for that. Our only regret was that we did not have time to take other tours offered by Portugal Cultural Experience."

"This guided walking tour by our guide Paulo, was the highlight of our trip to Évora! His knowledge of the history, architecture, and even plants in the city was truly impressive. (His background is biology and geology). His passion and love for Évora was evident. He was very friendly and answered all our questions. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him. I enjoyed the wine tasting and snacks provided at the end of the tour. We highly recommend Paulo and the Portugal Cultural Experience. You will not be disappointed."

"We had lunch at a local restaurant, enjoyed a wine tasting at a local winemaker’s storefront, and toured to major sites with Paulo. From start to finish was an awesome experience blending the technical, historical, cultural, and flavor of Evora and the Alentejo region. Our lunch included a personal introduction to and recommendations by the chef and owner of the restaurant, with a great meal and desert. As noted, the walking tour covered a significant amount of history, and some very interesting technical details. The wine tasting was very informative and interesting, and of course included good wine, cheese, and sausage. ..."

"Évora Cultural Experience arranged a dinner at a local restaurant followed by a night tour of the city. The dinner was a great experience in a very nice restaurant. The tour guide gave an excellent presentation of local and Portuguese history. Évora is beautifully lit at night, so the night walk (starting at 21:00) was very nice."
