With a key role in different eras of the Portuguese monarchy, Evora has an immense legacy of historical references.

Igreja De Sao Francisco
It is a church of Gothic-Manueline architecture. Built between 1480 and 1510 by masters of Pedraria Martim Lourenço and Pero de Trilho and decorated by the royal painters Francisco Henriques, Jorge Afonso and Garcia Fernandes, it is closely linked to the historical events that marked the period of maritime expansion in Portugal. This is evident in the symbols of the monumental nave of the vaulting vault: the cross of the Order of Christ and the emblems of the founding kings, D. João II and D. Manuel I. According to tradition, Gil Vicente was buried in this church in 1536.

Chapel of Bones
The chapel was built in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in the place of the primitive dormitory of the friars.

The chapel consists of bones from the graves of the convent church and other churches and cemeteries in the city. The walls and part of the vaults of the chapel are covered with thousands of human bones, which illustrate the idea of the founding monks, expressed in the phrase above the porch of the chapel: We bone that we are here, for your hope.

Truly a private...
Truly a private experience with a number of activities that give a great sense of Portuguese/Évora culture. The wine tasting portion was amazing. We had Paula as our guide and she was equally as amazing to spend the day with and learn from. Would highly recommend.

Perfect trip to Evora with Pedro T.
Pedro T. was the best guide. The tour was everything we wanted. Really enjoyed the Bones Chapel and the Cork Factory. Pedro chose the perfect place for lunch, the food was amazing! We rounded out the day with a wine tasting. Pedro is also extraordinarily knowledgeable about wine. We had a perfect day to end our time in Portugal.

Evora and Cascais/Sintra tours with Pedro T (acting on behalf of Yellow Cab TT Tours)
We went on both the Evora (private tour) and the Cascais/Sintra (group tour) with Pedro T who made these really enjoyable experiences with his extensive knowledge and friendly nature. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Pedro T and he was always on hand to help; a real professional and a credit to the Yellow Cab TT Tours organisation! Bravo Pedro T 👏👏👏

Excellent fun and safe tour with Pedro!
Pedro was a wonderful driver and tour guide. We spent two days enjoying the beautiful country outside of Lisbon. Pedro has an amazing bounty of knowledge and is very patient answering questions. As it was a private tour, we could change the time for lunch, or choose which places to visit. The Roman ruins, the chapel of bones, the castle, and wine and olive oil tastings were a lot of fun. We highly recommend Pedro and will use him next time we visit!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Évora Private Tour - Cork Factory Visit & Wine Tasting Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Évora Private Tour - Cork Factory Visit & Wine Tasting Included cost?
+
Prices start at €123 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Évora Private Tour - Cork Factory Visit & Wine Tasting Included take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Évora Private Tour - Cork Factory Visit & Wine Tasting Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Évora Private Tour - Cork Factory Visit & Wine Tasting Included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Évora Private Tour - Cork Factory Visit & Wine Tasting Included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Évora Private Tour - Cork Factory Visit & Wine Tasting Included?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Évora Private Tour - Cork Factory Visit & Wine Tasting Included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
