Joao is a fantastic guide, and answered each and every question we ask of him. It was clear that he has a very good knowledge of not only the town of Evora, but also Portuguese history, through his education. Highly recommend using Joao as your guide to Evora, but you’ll need more than one day to explore this wonderful town.”
