Escape the bustling streets of Sintra and embark on a breathtaking private journey to the heart of the Alentejo region. This exclusive tour invites you to explore two of Portugal's most iconic treasures: the UNESCO World Heritage city of Évora and the timeless medieval hilltop village of Monsaraz.
Your adventure begins as we head into the sun-drenched plains of the Alentejo. In Évora, the 'Museum City', you will step back in time. The best way to soak in its atmosphere is on foot, wandering through narrow, whitewashed cobblestone streets. Marvel at the imposing Roman Temple of Diana, dating back to the 2nd century, and experience the haunting beauty of the world-famous Chapel of Bones—a unique site adorned with human remains that tells a fascinating story of history and reflection.
Beyond the architecture, this tour is a sensory journey. The Alentejo region is renowned for its culinary excellence. During our visit, you will have the opportunity to taste local delicacies, including exquisite regional cheeses and world-class wines that capture the essence of the Portuguese terroir.
After immersing ourselves in the culture of Évora, we travel to Monsaraz. Perched high above the landscape, this medieval village built of lime and shale offers some of the most stunning panoramic views in Portugal. Walking through its silent, preserved streets feels like stepping into a living museum. As one of the oldest villages in the country, Monsaraz provides a tranquil and majestic conclusion to your day before we return to Sintra.
