It's all about Bruno - Bruno was an amazing tour guide. Not only did he take us to some amazing castles, but he expertly weaved in the story of the Templar Knights to each place we saw. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and how different events are related. He also ensured that we were comfortable at all times.
Each place we visited had something unique about it. The quiet solitude of Santarem, the castle in the middle of the river, Almourol, and finally the first castle built by the Templars, the Castle of Tomar. Each one of them had significant historical importance in the story of Portugal and the Templar Knights.
This is a tour I would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend - Highly recommend both the tour and the tour company. The tour was professionally organised with good communication. The tour guide Edward was a young man with lots of knowledge, energy, very friendly, great manners and also very flexible with what happened. The sights were very interesting and away from tourist crowds. Tomar is a also beautiful monument .. so nice to see.

Amazing day - This tour was just amazing! It included everything, from transport from different sights, "pass the queue" benefit to interesting information about Sintra, sights and Portugal culture. The guide, Jose was great, communicative and funny so the tour wasn't boring even during short stops in traffic jam. The tour is definitely worth its price.
