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!

A fascinating journey into Templar Knights history.. - 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!

Great tour for history buffs! - 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.

Excellent tour with Daniel, a young man provided great and safe service. - Excellent tour company. Our driver plus guide Daniel was excellent. Safe driving and very informative. We were only 2 of us so it was like a private tour. The tour company did not even cancel.

Great tour, stunning castles! Must see for Templar enthisuasts! - We were the smallest group heading out to Tomar that morning and we totally enjoyed it!
The driver was friendly and informative, especially as we are fans of Templar history, and Almourol just stunning!
We had ample time to have lunch and shop for souvenirs at the town, though we wished the whole place would have been more "medieval" for atmosphere.
Highly recommend if you are a Templar enthusiast!

Tour operator bails last minute - Tour operator cancelled trip 16 hours before it was to happen middle of day before due to me being only one that booked.
They had my money since July and due to them cancelling trip cost me $45 more to rebook yet they get no punishment but th customer does.
Fair to see why customer should pay the price for vendor failure to get business.
Will never us them again
