Looking at this Roman Temple, also known (wrongly) as the Temple of Diana, is like going back to the past and idealizing times that are already there. It is one of the most important, if not the most important historical landmarks of Évora, and also one of the most visible symbols of Roman occupation in the city.

Chapel of Bones
The Bones Chapel is one of the best known monuments of Évora in Portugal. It is situated in the Church of San Francisco. It was built in the seventeenth century on the initiative of three Franciscan monks who, in the spirit of the time (religious counter-reform according to the norms of the Council of Trent), intended to convey the message of the transience of life, as the famous warning at the entrance: "We bones that are here for your waiting." In addition to the spiritual question, there was also a physical question, namely; there were forty-two monastic cemeteries in the Évora region that were taking up too much space and strategic places that many intended to use for other purposes. So they decided to remove the skeletons from the earth and use them to build and decorate the chapel.

Adega Jose de Sousa
Keeping alive a tradition started by the Romans over 2000 years ago, the José de Sousa winery is equipped with 114 clay amphorae, a rare and ancient method of fermentation. In addition to the traditional below-ground wine cellar with amphorae and two mills for treading, you will also find the modern wine cellar with 44 stainless steel tanks and all the essential technology for red and white winemaking. All of this makes it the ideal place to witness the combination of innovation and tradition, and to learn a little more about exceptional wines.

Enjoyable and informative tour in a clean, comfortable vehicle
We had a beautiful day on this private tour. Pedro picked us up on time in his clean, comfortable van. Enjoyed the historical sites in Evora including the ruins, the fountain and a cup of coffee in the garden. We visited the Chapel of bones, definitely a unique site to see. Our best lunch in our trip yo Portugal followed. Pedro took us to an excellent restaurant I highly recommend the grilled lamb. My husband enjoyed black pork ( boar) with a delicious garlic olive oil dressing. In the afternoon we chose to visit a cork factory instead of the winery as we had already been on a winery tour. We ended the day with a stop at Cristo Rei that I had requested as well. I highly recommend touring with Pedro. Our tour was simply great

This tour was excellent. Pedro was very articulate and knowledgeable about the topic. We went to Evora, Monsaraz and Wine tasting. The guide was very helpful since I am disabled. I recommend this tour for anyone in the future.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
One day in Evora: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does One day in Evora cost?
+
Prices start at $183 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 One day in Evora 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 One day in Evora worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 One day in Evora?
+
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 One day in Evora 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 One day in Evora?
+
Around 1 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 One day in Evora 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.

+

What languages is One day in Evora offered in?
+

+
