A great tour with alot of history to take in. Absolutely stunning castles and the Templar Church can not be described. No words can give it justice. The tour guide Hugo was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond all day long. Would recommend wearing good shoes or hiking shoe, some pathways are not paved. Keep in mind these structures were built nearly 1000 years ago.
You won't regret this tour...its a great value

Our tour guide, Rodrigo, was terrific. He has in-depth knowledge of the history of Portugal, the Templars, the Order of Christ, and the sites we visited. He was personable and engaging, offering interesting commentary throughout. The Convent of Tomar is an amazing edifice - much resembling Rosslyn Chapel in Edinburgh, but even more impressive. Almourol Castle, in the middle of a river, is likewise an incredible sight. Highly recommended tour.

Excellent day trip with beautiful castles. Guide, Diogo, was intelligent, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the Knights of Templar. He was a good driver too! Highly recommend this tour.

Wow! Just wow! We had the most fantastic day, and Rodrigo was the absolute best tour guide. We learned more about the Knights Templar and also the Knights of the Order of Christ. We saw castles and churches. We saw where Templar Grand Masters were buried. And also the Convent of Christ that started out as belonging to the Templar’s and then was transferred to the Order of Christ. Tomar itself is charming and we had a really good lunch. All in all this was a really good day. Thanks, Rodrigo!

Daniel was an excellent guide for this tour. His knowledge of the history of the Templars is amazing. Even when we would delve a little deeper with questions, he always knew the answer. The tour was absolutely fascinating and the castle and the Convent of Christ were a must see. Thanks for a terrific day!

Absolutely fantastic tour! Our tour guide Rodrigo (I believe that was his name), was friendly and knowledgeable. The walking was not too intense and very comfortable. Absolutely loved the history of the Templars.
