Great trip to Evora
Great trip out of Lisbon to see Megaliths and Roman Ruins. Nuno was a great guide and didn’t rush the trip

Paulo was a great guide....
Paulo was a great guide. He knows a lot of history which I liked. The tour was great- I learnt a lot about cork trees, the stone circle, the Diana temple, the town of Evora, the local food Migas (hope I spelt that correctly) and of course the Chapel of Bones which blew my socks off! A great day and was thoroughly satisfied and was asleep by 9pm that evening! Thanks Paulo! Give Paulo a pay rise!! 😀

Our guide changed the...
Our guide changed the advertised order, so our visit to Evora was later in the day. Many cafes by then were busy. Overall not a lot of Roman history. The guide struggled with answering questions that were not part of the tour.

From Lisbon to Alentejo: Évora and Megaliths Full-Day Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does From Lisbon to Alentejo: Évora and Megaliths Full-Day Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €50 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 From Lisbon to Alentejo: Évora and Megaliths Full-Day Group Tour 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 From Lisbon to Alentejo: Évora and Megaliths Full-Day Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 137 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 From Lisbon to Alentejo: Évora and Megaliths Full-Day Group Tour?
+
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 From Lisbon to Alentejo: Évora and Megaliths Full-Day Group Tour 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 From Lisbon to Alentejo: Évora and Megaliths Full-Day Group Tour?
+
Around 48 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 From Lisbon to Alentejo: Évora and Megaliths Full-Day Group Tour 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, Escape Hunt Experience. 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.
