stupendous tour of Neolithic and prehistoric sites
Spectacular-we got to see a wonderful array of Neolithic and very prehistoric sites. These are difficult to see elsewhere-go before it becomes commercialized then closed to the public as Stonehenge has become. Pedro is an excellent guide and host to his area; very much enjoyed lunch at his father in law’s very Portugués restaurant. My only suggestion is he provide water in the am and pm as other tours do—very small point in otherwise outstanding fun and educational experience

Metgalitic and Cave Tour
Pedro was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Megalithic sites. He was professional, shared his personal experiences and provided good recommendations for other sites to see in Evora. We had a very tasty traditional Portuguese lunch too! There were 2 issues. Getting in and out of the van was difficult for a couple of the guests because the step off was too high. An easy solution is to have a one-step short ladder. The other issue was that the cave tour was limited, didn’t go very far from the entrance and no photos were allowed, even without a flash. Otherwise a great tour, highly recommend!

An incredible day of culture and beauty
This tour was INCREDIBLE. The guide, Pedro, was absolutely fantastic. We learned so much about the ancient sites and history of the region. The tour was a perfect balance of learning, fun, great company, great food and deeply fascinating culture. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Magical investment of time immersed in the Anthropology of the Alentejo.
Pedro picked us promptly at our hotel and was engaging and informative on the 20 minute drive to a small dolmen, carefully chosen for scale so we would appreciate the size of the larger ones. Next to the first cromlech known only to locals. Beautiful setting in a cork oak grove. After an impressive visit to the Almendres cromlech, we went to a delicious lunch in Montemor-a-Novo, where the entertaining owner sang the menu. Whisked to an afternoon tour of the Escorial cave with prehistoric art and then to the City’s castle, a real treat. It it well worth the investment of time to visit these world-class assets with a knowledgeable guide and we fully recommend Burriscas Adventure for an immersive and, yes, really fun day. We’ll work with them again. Jon and Terre
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Jon And Terre, it was a really great day And we hope to see you again! Best regards

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Megalithic Tour with Lunch Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Setubal District.
How much does Full Day Megalithic Tour with Lunch Included cost?
+
Prices start at $126 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Setubal District usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Megalithic Tour with Lunch 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 Setubal District is not rushed.
Is Full Day Megalithic Tour with Lunch Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Setubal District, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Megalithic Tour with Lunch 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 Full Day Megalithic Tour with Lunch 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 Full Day Megalithic Tour with Lunch Included?
+
Around 2 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 Setubal District 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 Setubal District and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Megalithic Tour with Lunch 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 Setubal District 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 Setubal District?
+
On Outty we rank every Setubal District experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sesimbra : Guided Kayak Tour in Arrábida Natural Park & Caves, Observation of Dolphins and Whales with Marine Biologist in Arrábida, Sesimbra: Arrábida Dolphin and Whale Watching tour with biologist. 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 Setubal District?
+
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 Setubal District?
+
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.

Does Full Day Megalithic Tour with Lunch Included include hotel pickup?
