Highly insightful and entertaining - I had the most wonderful experience on my tour! My tour guide, John, was very accommodating and had seemingly endless knowledge of the Templar Knights & the town of Tomar along with many interesting facts and little known historical information that made this tour the best thing to happen to me on this trip to Lisbon. I HIGHLY recommend using this company if you are serious about history and you want to have fun while learning! A million thanks to everyone that made this tour exactly what it was!

A tick off our 'bucket list' - What a great day. Anastacia was an excellent guide (and a good driver) with vast knowledge of the Templars and the area around Tomar. The walk through the ancient city and the visit to the old Synagogue were added benefits. We were most impressed and grateful as today's tour to Tomar was a 'bucket list' adventure for us!!

Knights Templar Experience - Be aware that having a guide for this trip is essential to get the full experience. We were fortunate to have an excellent guide who was very aware of our needs and desires. It was, indeed, a full and interesting day to see all the sites of the Knights Templar.

Book it - you won't regret it! - My friends and I just finished a Knights Templar tour with João and it was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Templars and made the whole experience educational and fun. We visited churches, castles, and ancient aqueducts, and João explained the significance of everything the Templars built and their influence on the region. His passion for the subject really brought the history to life. João also took us to a great local restaurant and helped us understand Portuguese dining culture - like how dishes are meant to be shared, which we had no idea about! He went above and beyond to make sure we had an authentic experience. If you're interested in Knights Templar history, we highly recommend booking a tour with João. You won't regret it!
