On this tour you’ll delve into Portugal’s Neolithic period (circa 5500 to 3000 BC) and explore two of the region’s earliest and most remarkable megalithic sites: the Menir of Almendres and the Cromlech of Almendres.

The Alentejo is home to many megalithic structures, including cromlechs, menirs, and dolmens. It is during this period when agriculture emerged, along with many other significant cultural and social developments.

Your tour guides are archaeologists and look forward to showing you some spectacular sites from Portugal's past.

Cromeleque dos Almendres

Our meeting point for this excursion will be the Roman Temple of Évora. From there, we will embark on a 25-minute drive to reach the path to the Menir of Almendres. We will then make the 5–10 minute walk down the picturesque path to visit this impressive solitary standing stone. Please note that the path to the Menir is in poor condition and those with reduced mobility may not be able to reach it. Next, we will continue driving amongst the cork trees through the Almendres property. As the road is in poor shape, we will slowly make our way to the Cromlech of Almendres, often referred to as the Stonehenge of Portugal. At the site, we will continue our discussion of the Neolithic and provide an overview of the theories associated with the monument. You will learn about the history of this site from archaeologists specializing in the prehistory of this region.

We had such a great time! Our guides were so knowledgeable (both were trained archeologists with expertise in the late stone age through early bronze age in the Alentejo) and so it was incredible getting the inside scoop into the broader prehistoric context for the region as a whole. Since we didn't have a car, the hotel pickup/drop-off was also very much appreciated... we even got a great recommendation for dinner that evening. Thanks for a wonderful trip!
Awesome tour!

This tour is a wonderful way to spend a thoroughly different half-day while staying in Évora. Bianca and Gonçalo will collect you from your hotel and take you into the countryside, educating you the whole time. They are knowledgeable, professional and good company. Only six guests will fit in the van, so the group size will always be manageable. We went with two Canadians and an American and had enjoyable conversations as we drove and walked. The ancient sites are magnificent, mysterious and well worth a visit.
Great tour

Bianca and her partner run a private tour company. She is an archeologist and it showed, with her passion and objectivity. These 7,000 year old monoliths were fascinating to see and ponder their purpose. Highly recommended

I went to Portugal for a week-long holiday, and this tour was definitely the highlight! The guides were amazing, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions, and there was plenty of time to stop for pictures and sightseeing. They also recommended some great restaurants in the area and helped us figure out how to use public transportation to get to our next destination. Highly, highly, highly recommend, if you’re in Portugal, this is a must-see!
