A very interesting experience exploring the megalithic sites around Montemor-o-Novo. The locations feel remote and peaceful, and seeing the stones in person gives a real sense of history. The guide explained everything clearly without making it too heavy.

The experience was smooth and well organized. The itinerary made sense and allowed enough time at each location to take everything in. The landscapes along the way added to the overall experience.

A great day overall. The guide, Pedro, was knowledgeable and shared interesting details about the megaliths and the region. It felt informative but still relaxed throughout the day.
