- evangelosk1280 contributionsMemorable day trip from LisbonAnastasiya was our tour guide , and she was excellent as was the tour. Initially we went to the Shrine of Fatima, admiring its grandeur and its profound holiness. We further went to the village where the children who witnessed the Virgin Mary were raised. We then saw the dramatic Monastery of Batalha, after which we travelled to Nazares and then onto Obidas. Thorough, informative and memorable tour. Anastasiya was very professional and punctual.Written 19 December 2024
- robertccl270 contributionsA faith journey mixed with cultural experienceVery well paced private tour. Anastácia was amazing. She is so friendly and a wealth of knowledge about the country, its history and culture. Now if you want to eat something special the region around Fátima is known for, ask Anastácia to take you to the restaurant where suckling pig is their specialty! So yummy…Written 11 December 2024

- evrklear0 contributionsPhenomenal!We had the most amazing experience with John and Kitzel tours. He was one of the best tour guides we have ever experienced with a family ranging from 3 to 70 years old and visiting 12+ countries. John is attentive, patient with kids, and mindful of limitations. Do not hesitate to book your tour with them!! We wish we had booked more excursions. His historical knowledge and ability to communicate in multiple languages is phenomenal.Written 22 November 2024

Anastasia was AMAZING!! Not too much, not too little in regards to energy, information, and itinerary. Probably the easiest guide we’ve had to make conversation with, the whole day flowed naturally! We weren’t expecting to have such a good time at our first stop, the cork factory, but it was surprisingly fun and we learned a lot about one of Portugal’s biggest industries! The bone chapel was all it was hyped up to be and more, and the tourists are definitely less in numbers compared to Lisboa and Sintra. She always offered to take pictures of us along the way, had great recommendations for travel, food, and wine, and shared lovely anecdotes that tied perfectly into our trip! This is THE company to use if you want a personalized private tour around Evora ☀️

We spent a wonderful, memorable day in Evora with Joao! He is a kind, friendly man who also is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Portugal. He clearly does his research! I was drawn to this particular tour because it seemed more historically and culturally oriented than others; we had already done winery tours in the Douro Valley and we did not wish to do that again in the Alentejo.
Our visit to the cork factory was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. It was fascinating to learn about how the cork is harvested and processed. Touring the many sites in Evora and learning about the history of the area was extremely interesting and enlightening. Throughout the tour, Joao shared lots of information but also allowed us time to quietly absorb the history and the scenery.
When I expressed interest in the Inquisition, Joao incorporated information about it into the tour, and took us to locations that had significance. He pointed out many things that we never would have noticed (or understood) if we had toured on our own.
For an informative, pleasant tour I highly recommend Joao's Kitzel Tours!! The price was reasonable and it was an excellent value!

We were so fortunate to have had Joao as our tour guide. He picked us up from our apartment in Lisbon, and after taking us to a fascinating cork factory where we learned all about cork trees and how cork products are produced, he showed us all around the spectacular Roman and medieval city of Evora. He is extremely knowledgeable, charismatic, and tailors each tour to the particular group and their interests. I can't recommend him highly enough. You'll have lots of fun.

This tour was beyond outstanding plus. All communication with Kitzel was thorough, thoughtful, professional and timely. Was unsure the participant # (max at 6); yet my wife and I had a private tour. Our guide, Anastasiya, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable, very considerate, affable, always asking as to status / thoughts / needs, and beyond fun / enjoyable. She is a commensurate customer service professional. On the drive she gave continuous information regards the region, the cork process (you see numerous cork trees on the drive), the storks nesting on the electrical metal poles, grape and olive vinyards. She did the cork factory tour, with great insights regards the process and history. Our tour of Evora was insightful with historic references, we visited all the key areas and she allowed appropriate time, with back and forth questions and follow up, plus lingering as needed and inquiring as to status / needs. / food / rest. She also helped me with some purchase decisions. My wife was a little tired and did do the end of the tour to the cathedral and ruins (she took a rest break at the main square), and when we returned Anastasiya got the car was returned to pick us up. Over and above the call of duty so to speak. On the ride back she took a side trip to show us a cactus farm which was interesting (had no idea there a cactus fruit). Great information and conversation on the way back on all sorts of topics. Have another tour with another company that was paid and not cancellable or I would have eagerly switched to Kitzel.

We started our day by being picked up at our hotel. Joao was prompt and ready for the day with a lot of good energy. We first arrived at a cork factory. I didn't really know anything about cork. This was very interesting and I ended up buying some items from the factory that I am enjoying today. We then went on to Evora. What a beautiful place. We say the chapel of bones as well as many other structures. Going with Joao is like going with a history book. He really takes the time to learn and tell the story of the place you attend. He brought us to a restaurant for lunch and the food was amazing. I love to eat in family owned small places. You can really appreciate the food and the friendly service. I can't say enough about Kitzel Tours and Joao. That is the only company I would book with when in Portugal.

What can I say? Our trip to Evora and Alentejo was amazing!!! Joao was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable of the history, art, and religion of the area. The visit to the cork factory was very interesting and Joao explained the process from the trees to the final product. We were able to visit the ruins of the Roman temple, the Chapel Dos Ossos, and the Cathedral with an amazing view of the city. I highly recommend booking a tour with João. Thank you!!!!

We had a wonderful time touring with with joao our 2 young children age 6 and 8 through the towns of Evora, Monserratz and exploring the Cromoleques. He was extremely knowledgable and fun. he felt more like a friend than a tour guide. It was an extremely customized experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

As a celebration of our fortieth wedding aniversary my husband and I decided to take this tour with Kitzel Tours. We could not have made a better choice. Starting immediately with an exceptional service in correspondence by email and a tailor made project. Our guide Joao very punctual very professional very friendly and with a solid knowledge of history, architecture, geography, leterature, john is also a sweet person which made him the best company and trip one could wish for. I gave it five stars on the score, only because i cant give 100 . Strong recommend.
