Évora Bike & Hike

• Évora
• Half Day Tours

Description

We leave Évora following the «Silver Water» Aqueduct and walk along this fantastic 16th century engineering work of art. We learn about cork, olives and aromatic herbs.  We reach a beautiful traditional Alentejo country house where we invite you to visit the Classic Car Museum. Here we will show you Jaguars, Austin Healley, Porsches and even a jeep which did the Paris-Dakar rally. You can also book accommodation in this farm)

We stop for a drink and snack and then start our Évora bike tour and return to the city through the ecotrail, a traffic free green lane. Downhill, no effort!

The tour follows the aqueduct inside the city walls, through the narrow and white streets discovering Évora’s unique historical centre, classified by UNESCO World Heritage site.

ALL BY BIKE:
Experienced riders can complete the entire Évora bike tour. Cycling near the aqueduct is good fun but you need to love cycling. There are some steps where you have to step down from your bike and the path is narrow. The path along the aqueduct is really a walking path but possible to cycle in.

KIDS:
Tour is suitable for children if they can cycle and enjoy walking.
We have bikes for kids and the cycling path is easy, but we have to do some stretches on the asphalt road, so your child should have the experience to participate on the tour.
You may want to consider a private tour paying some extra money. We also have child seats.

If you wish to visit these monuments with a guide, consider booking instead our Évora Tapas Tour
