Daniel was so... - Daniel was so knowledgeable and helpful. This tour was lovely. Unfortunately we were not able to go into one of the castles due to weather but the rest of the tour made up for it! My only request would be to have a place for lunch ready instead of having us hunt one down. Other than that, this was a great tour!! Amazing day!!

Great Tour with spectacular sights and alot of history - 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

Highly recommended - 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.

Unbelievably Amazing!! - 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!
