Our guide Ricardo picked...
Our guide Ricardo picked us up promptly at the stated time. He was friendly and engaging. A fantastic trip to a cork factory located near Evora. We had a fantastic time with lunch and tour of Evora. In addition, two wineries were visited - as part of the original tour. Our tour guide also suggested we stop at a third winery. All three were wonderful and we throughly enjoyed the wine, company, and explanations. This tour is a long day, but very enjoyable and highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such a kind review! I really enjoyed spending the day with you guys and showing you around Évora, the cork factory, and some of my favorite wine spots in Alentejo.s a long day, but sharing it with great company made it fly by. Hope to see you again back in Portugal! BIFANIO... :) Ricardo

Good hotel, good view
Nice option, only they have the 19% tax so the products become more expensive, but very nice and it is quite cold indeed
Response from the operator: Hola, gracias por compartir tu opinión, pero debe haber sido un error, ya que Funtasting Tours es una empresa de experiencias y tours, no un hotel. Agradecemos que nos hayas tenido en cuenta, ¡y esperamos que disfrutes mucho de tu estancia en el verdadero alojamiento que visitaste

Ricardo was thrilled to hear that everyone, from the kids to the adults, had such a great time exploring Évora, the cork factory, and the wineries. Keeping a multigenerational group engaged and ensuring everything runs smoothly is always our goal, so knowing you had an amazing day means the world to us. We hope to welcome your family back to Portugal in the future!

Ricardo is the best!
Ricardo was delightful. Knowledgeable, friendly, and caring that we got to see what we wanted to see. Never pressed for time, he allowed us to explore while guiding us to experience all that the areas offered. Wine tasting spots were excellent and informative, not to mention tasty. Highly recommend this tour with Ricardo.
Response from the operator: Dear RAT and Irene Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure sharing Évora with you and helping you discover its history, culture, and local flavors. I'm glad you enjoyed the wine tastings and that we could take our time exploring without feeling rushed. I'm especially happy that we had the chance to stop for some traditional Portuguese bifanas—one of those simple local experiences that often becomes a memorable part of the day! Thank you for your recommendation. It was great spending the day with you, and I hope to welcome you back to Portugal for another adventure in the future. Best wishes, Ricardo

You Must Do This!
This has to be one of the best tours that comes out of Lisbon. The day started with Ricardo picking us up in the morning. He was super welcoming and had water bottles ready for us. We departed Lisbon and from there we went Evora. Ricardo shared many stories about local life in Portugal during the drive. We had amazing times at the cork factory and wine tastings, and very much enjoyed the authentic Portuguese lunch we had. I couldn’t recommend another tour and guide higher than Ricardo. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to hear that you consider this one of the best tours from Lisbon. I’m really happy you enjoyed the drive to Évora, the stories about local life, the cork factory, the wine tastings, and of course the authentic Portuguese lunch. It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I’m grateful for your kind words and recommendation. I hope to welcome you back to Portugal someday for another great experience! 😊

Lisbon to Evora: Cork Factory Visit and Wine Tour + hotel pick-up: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Lisbon to Evora: Cork Factory Visit and Wine Tour + hotel pick-up cost?
+
Prices start at €60 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 Lisbon to Evora: Cork Factory Visit and Wine Tour + hotel pick-up 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 Lisbon to Evora: Cork Factory Visit and Wine Tour + hotel pick-up worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Lisbon to Evora: Cork Factory Visit and Wine Tour + hotel pick-up?
+
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 Lisbon to Evora: Cork Factory Visit and Wine Tour + hotel pick-up 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 Lisbon to Evora: Cork Factory Visit and Wine Tour + hotel pick-up?
+
Around 3 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 Lisbon to Evora: Cork Factory Visit and Wine Tour + hotel pick-up 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.
