Chapel of Bones
The Chapel of Bones is a unique and intriguing attractions. It is a small chapel attached to the Church of St. Francis (Igreja de São Francisco) and is known for its macabre interior decoration. The chapel was built in the 16th century by Franciscan monks, with the purpose of conveying the message of life's transience and the importance of reflecting on mortality. The walls and pillars of the chapel are completely covered in human bones, creating a rather eerie and somber atmosphere. The bones used in the chapel are believed to be from around 5,000 monks. The remains were exhumed from nearby cemeteries due to lack of space and then carefully arranged to form intricate patterns and designs. Skulls are used as decorative elements, and there is even a creepy inscription above the entrance that translates to "We bones that are here await yours." Visiting the Chapel of Bones can be a thought-provoking experience.

The Best Guide for Évora + Esporão!
We booked a private, customized tour for a family of four adults of Évora to see the Chapel of Bones, the Cathedral, the Roman Temple, and the Frei Manuel do Cenáculo National Museum. The entire experience culminated in a wine tasting and lunch at Herdade do Esporão (highly recommend for excellent wine and a wonderful lunch tasting that accommodates allergies and dietary preferences). Our tour guide, Mario, was very insightful, with lots of information and background about Évora and Esporao, along with great information about the landscape we were driving through. This also includes his wonderful driving skills, which allowed us to be relaxed through the over 3+ hours on the road. He made the entire trip such a fun experience because you could see the genuine excitement he held about Portugal and sharing his country with us! One of the best guides we have ever had traveling, based off of visiting over 25+ countries with tours.

The best operator!
This was already the third time we booked with YesExperiences Portugal, and every single experience has been outstanding. Our Alentejo tour was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we were picked up in Lisbon, everything was seamless and perfectly organized. The drive through the rolling Alentejo countryside was breathtaking, and our guide made the journey even more special by sharing so much local history and culture along the way. We visited charming wineries where the tastings felt authentic and personal, not touristy at all. The winemakers were passionate and welcoming, and we got to try some incredible wines that we’ll remember forever. Lunch in a traditional restaurant was another highlight—the food was delicious and felt like a true taste of Portugal. What really sets this company apart is the balance of professionalism and warmth. We never felt rushed, and every stop had its own story and character. It was the perfect mix of culture, gastronomy, and relaxation. We will definitely keep using YesExperiences Portugal every time we return to this beautiful country. Truly a company you can trust for unforgettable tours
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for returning to explore Portugal with us again — it truly means a lot to our whole team. The Alentejo is one of our favourite regions to share, not only for the wines but for the landscapes, the small producers and the traditional restaurants that show the real rhythm of Portuguese life. We’re very happy you enjoyed the wineries and the journey through the countryside as much as we do. Our goal is always to keep the day relaxed and personal, from pickup in Lisbon to the final stop, so guests can experience Portugal in an authentic way rather than a rushed tour. We’ll be here waiting for your next visit — Portugal always has another story (and another bottle) ready for you. Kindest regards, YesExperiences Portugal

Private Evora & Alentejo Wine Tour from Lisbon - Cork & Flavors: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Private Evora & Alentejo Wine Tour from Lisbon - Cork & Flavors cost?
+
Prices start at $354 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 Private Evora & Alentejo Wine Tour from Lisbon - Cork & Flavors take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Evora & Alentejo Wine Tour from Lisbon - Cork & Flavors worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 32 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 Private Evora & Alentejo Wine Tour from Lisbon - Cork & Flavors?
+
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 Private Evora & Alentejo Wine Tour from Lisbon - Cork & Flavors suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Evora & Alentejo Wine Tour from Lisbon - Cork & Flavors?
+
Around 11 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Evora & Alentejo Wine Tour from Lisbon - Cork & Flavors 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.

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.
