Day trip in Tomar 8/19 - Anastacia was a phenomenal and passionate tour guide. We truly learned a lot from her and the history of Tomar. She was very informative and professional. She was kind and generous and respectful with us and everyone around. We had a wonderful experience and would recommend this tour again and Anastacia as the guide. Thank you again we truly appreciate your time and dedication!

Journey to the Past - We loved having John as our guide on our trip to the Templar Land. Very friendly and with an immense knowledge about the places where we passed. Mixing some curiosities with interesting stories, made the tour to Tomar a true journey into the past. I highly recommend.

Great experience with a great guide. I highly recommend it - It was really interesting. Our guide could not have been better. She is very knowledgeable, but also nice and friendly. Be prepare for a boat ride and some climbing but it is all so worthy. I specially recommend it for persons interested in history and on the Templars.

Tomar was so interesting! - Anastasia was great. We not only learned so much about the Knights Templar, she also used the car ride to and from Tomar to tell us so much about Portugal generally. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. I highly recommend this trip!

Wonderful Tour and Very Educational - João was an extremely knowledgeable guide who not only made the trip fun, he was also well versed on the Knights Templar and of course the myths presented on the Curse of Oak Island, We had four people in our group and João spent the time to ensure that we had a very immersed experience. I would highly recommend his company if you want to really understand the history of Portugal.

Tomar and Knights Templar. 5 stars! - João was prompt, pleasant, and informative. Our tour was private, just my wife and me. We learned a lot about the history of Portugal and the Knights Templar. The visit to the church in Tomar featuring Mary Magdalene was a highlight! Highly recommend João and the company.

Templar must see - This is a must for people who are interested in the Knights of Templar in Portugal. You will visit a beautiful fortress, see a church with hidden symbols, go to the town of Tomar and the highlight is the Convent. Anastacia is friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. She can answer all your questions and makes sure you are comfortable all day long. She knows where to stop for breaks and where to eat. The car is comfortable as well. This was the highlight of our trip.
