Super knowledgeable guide - Our tour guide Anastácia was excellent. She had a deep knowledge of everything we saw. She was a pleasant person to spend the day with and I would book another tour with her again.

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!!
