We booked a full day's tour with Paulo in his lovely vintage camperdown and we were so glad! Paulo clearly took great care to plan a special day for our family. In the morning we visited beautiful coves and enjoyed a swim before lunch at a popular peri-peri restaurant. This was followed by an afternoon at a fabulous vineyard, relaxing in a stunning infinity pool overlooking the beautiful scenery between wine tastings and tapas. We finished the day at yet another gorgeous spot, enjoying the incredible sunset and Paulo's carefully prepared picnic of local tapas. Paulo was simply brilliant company all day, our kids loved him (our daughter enjoyed chatting nonstop!). Paulo, thank you for sharing your local history and special places. We loved every minute - we won't forget this truly special day! Best wishes from Newcastle upon Tyne!

My friend and I used ElectriCity Tours in June 2019. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. The Tuk-Tuk is spacious, clean, pretty new, can easily accommodate 4-5 people, and eco-friendly. As for our guide…we got pretty lucky with Gilberto! He was such an amazing guide; he knows the city’s history inside out, is super friendly, customizes your tour based on your interest, and even extended our tour by a half hour at no extra cost. He made our experience truly memorable. If you’re looking for a Tuk-Tuk tour in Lisbon, Gilberto is your guy!
7. Exploring the South of Portugal | Évora | Alentejo
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Further south of Lisbon you will be discovering the region of Alentejo. On the way to Alentejo you will notice the presence of large fields of cork oaks and olive trees. No less gorgeous, is the outstanding relief of the landscape either flat and hilly, an infinity of land. There is a great opportunity for visiting the traditional shops and factories of the famous rags of Arraiolos dating back probably since the XVII century.The rags are part of the traditional hand embroidered Portuguese tapestry illustrating its cheerful colors. Continuing on the road towards Évora once there, a feeling of living back on time is marked by the ruins of a Roman Temple, medieval Churches and protecting walls, a revolutionary history conquered square and the cobbled streets following the white typical Alentejo homes. Last but not least, you will be visiting the superb megalithic complex of Cromlech of Almendres dating back about 2000 years before the Stonehenge.

Our second day out with Rui. After a drive through the hills we arrived at Quinta Santa Maria in Gidril, a village perched on the edge of a valley. We were greeted by our British expat host who guided us through the beautiful grounds and outbuildings of the Quinta tasting wines and enjoying nibbles along the way. The wines were flavourful, and the nibbles carefully chosen to enhance each we tasted. Before leaving we purchased a couple of bottles to savour at home, of course! Next stop of the day was The Monastery at Mafra. While this 400 room palace may once have housed a monastery, it was the biggest and most ornate of the several palaces we were able to visit during our time in Portugal- built with Brazilian gold and reputed to have emptied the treasury! Rui will do custom tours, as ell: For our third trip we have Rui taking us on a self-designed Templar Castle tour. We suggested three sites we wished to visit and he put together our itinerary ending with a boat ride to The island of Castelo Almourol. Bound to be another magical day!
