Great walking tour in Evora - Sandra was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and smart. We would do again any other tour with her. She pointed the most important facts and even small details about architecture and life back then. We enjoyed very much her company and knowledge.

Not as advertised - Sandra was kind and genuine. The tour went way longer than it should have, ours was nearly 3.5 hours and our total group was just 4 people. She spoke a lot about her spiritual journey and we felt at times like we were listening to a sermon. I may have mis understood, but we only entered two buildings, the rest was viewing the building architecture from the outside. We never saw the chapel of bones as indicated. She spent a fair amount of time talking about where to eat and shopping, which was not what we were looking for. Unfortunately, this tour was a waste of time and money.
