So much fascinating information!

Marisa did a great job educating us on the role of spies during World War 2. She is really knowledgeable and is getting her Ph.D on this topic so is also very current on her information. We really enjoyed this tour. Don’t miss it if you are a fan of World War 2 and espionage and intrigue.

Thank you so much! And you got mail :)

I can’t think of a better tour guide we have ever encountered anywhere in the world! Marissa was soooo knowledgeable and such an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. She went above and beyond in making this tour of Évora fun and informative. A rare thing to say she nailed both!
