Frequently asked questions
What is the Alentejo?
It is the region of southern Portugal that covers roughly a third of the country, east and south of Lisbon. It is known for the UNESCO listed city of Évora, whitewashed hilltop villages such as Monsaraz, cork oak and olive landscapes, and the Vicentine Coast on the Atlantic side.
Can I visit Évora and Monsaraz in one day from Lisbon?
Yes. Our private Évora and Monsaraz day tour takes about 10 hours from Lisbon, with stops for cork and pottery craft along the way. Évora is about 1 hour 30 from Lisbon and Monsaraz about 2 hours.
Do you run tours from the Alentejo coast, not only from Lisbon?
Yes. Duca was founded in Almograve, on the Vicentine Coast, and we run private tours and transfers that start from Milfontes, Comporta, Tróia, Melides and the Rota Vicentina, so you do not have to go back to Lisbon first.
How do I choose between the Alentejo tours?
If you are staying in Lisbon, the Évora and Monsaraz day tour is the direct way to see the inland Alentejo. If you are already on the Alentejo or Vicentine Coast, the day tours to the Algarve and to Fátima start from there, and the transfer to Porto picks you up where you are.
Can I stop in Évora on the way to Spain?
Yes. Évora sits on the road from Lisbon to Madrid, and our Lisbon to Madrid private transfer has optional stops in Évora and Toledo.
