Teresa

Interesting hikes paired with visits to historical sites.

Delightful walking tours in and around Evora, Portugal. Our group of 15 was guided on several days of excellent walking tours in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Teresa was our guide, and she was fabulous – informative, fun, and very well prepared. She served us delicious picnic lunches every day. I would definitely hire her again if I go back!

Had a great walking week with Turaventur in April, 2017. With our guide we visited ancient stone circles, vineyards, old hilltowns and had local experiences that only a guide who lives in the area can provide. This is a jewel waiting to be discovered…so glad we did!

Theresa was our group guide for 5 days and it was an incredible adventure as we heard all about the history, agricultural life, and life in general around Evora. After a visit to a cheese making farm Theresa lead us to all the stone monoliths in the area as we walked through groves of Cork Trees. We learned about the harvesting and processing of cork and the following day we hiked to a medieval castle surrounded by vineyards. Other days we visited a winery for wine tasting, toured the old city of Evora, walked to a hilltop city, visited a pottery shop, ate at a local restaurant where we made our own bread, and our last day we followed the Aqueduct to her farm where we saw her father’s antique car collection and enjoyed an outstanding lunch at her B & B. Theresa is organized and enthusiastic about making sure you have an outstanding experience in her country. She brought a picnic lunch for all 15 of us each day with local breads, cheeses, vegetables and pastries! You can’t beat this genuine Portugal experience because she is passionate about her job and has the answers to your questions.I’d love to hike with her again in the future.

We loved both areas. Had great experiences, loved the food and the sangria!

Great mix of history in Évorra and stunning landscapes in Alentejo.

Wonderful 8 day walking tour of rural and coastal southern Portugal. The local guides, Teresa and Joanna, taylored the walks to suit our abilities and interests. We visited Neolithic standing stones, mediaeval villages, a cork factory and an organic herb farm. We followed the trail of an old aqueduct as it descended gently into Evora. We ate loquats and citrus straight from the tree and sampled traditional food and wine at farms and in small fishing villages. We enjoyed picnic lunches of olive oil, salads, cheeses and ham partnered with local wine whilst watching the Atlantic waves in an unspoilt nature reserve. We dawdled in the ocean and traversed long sandy beaches. On a practical level, transfers, meals and accommodation were all well organised

A very enjoyable holiday with very professional and pleasant local guides Teresa and Joanna who have a wonderful sense of humour. The walking distance was tailored to our group each day. A very authentic Portuguese experience of local food and countryside. I especially enjoyed staying at the Turaventur farm with local fruits. We ate breakfast and dinner at the farm and on both occasions the food was good and the service was excellent from Sara and Vanya.
