We promise you a journey back in time, castles that were built by the legendary Knights Templar and then later used by the Knights of Christ, the guys that set up the Age of the Discoveries.
At the first stop, there will be a short boat trip that will take the group to the island of the Almourol Castle, the most stunning medieval castle you can find in Portugal, with breathtaking views and sceneries around.
Next the medieval journey will take you to Tomar, a city founded by the Knights Templar that turned out to be also important a few centuries after when Henry, the Navigator, was the leader of the Knights of Christ.
In Tomar there is a stop at Santa Maria do Olival Church, former mausoleum of the Masters of Knights Templar in Portugal, and at the Convent of Christ, one of the most outstanding and important buildings for Portuguese history, an UNESCO site since 1983.
It also includes a surprise to sweeten you mouth. Join the Knighthood!

Miguel made the Templars come to life.
The places we visited were awesome but needed the expert narration to make them more than just sites and buildings.
Thanks to Miguel for making the day special for the group.

Without the background information about the history of the Templars, I would not have fully appreciated the amazing places we visited. Ricky was not just knowledgeable, but a skilled teacher who welcomed questions and discussion. I also appreciated his recommendation of restaurant and menu choices. I would give this tour my highest recommendation.

Ricky was an amazing guide with vast knowledge of Portuguese history and Templar. He was patient with us as we were late to the meeting place. I wouldn’t go to Tomar without a knowledgeable guide.

It was informative , but for the price it there weren’t enough sites .
I also felt that the guide geared us to a specific restaurant and although the food was good, they put appetizers on the table with out asking us then charged us for them.

This was the first tour we booked for our visit to Lisbon. I would not have fully appreciated the sites visited without the extensive background on the Templar knights, and world history that was provided by our guide. Ricky was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. As a seasoned traveler, this was one of the best tours I’ve experienced! If we were staying longer, we’d try and get on another tour with this company.

Highly recommend. Very knowlegable guides that personalized the tour to the needs of the small group. We had a beautiful day to explore the multiple sites. The drive from Lisbon was comfortable as we had a new vehicle.

Daniel was a great guide who told us the essential pieces of history with a few mysteries. He recommended a place to eat after the tour which had amazing regional and medieval food. The van was comfortable and he had a headset so everyone could hear clearly.
