Tomar - Home of the Knights Templar

Ashley H.United States

A must see, especially if you’re into history and Knight’s Templar. Pedro was a friendly and informative guide. We learned so much about the historical Fortress location, but also toured the town as well. History buffs, don’t miss this location while touring Portugal.

MIguel was extremely knowledgeable about the Knights Templar and it was a pleasure to have him as our guide.

We very much enjoyed our tour of Tomar and the Convent of Christ with Miguel. He shared his broad historical knowledge, which greatly added to the tour experience. He took us to some interesting and unexpected sites in Tomar and provided great recommendations for other things to see in the area and where to eat.

Miguel is knowledgeable, unpretentious, and accommodating. Made for a wonderful day touring the Convent of Christ with our family!

Miguel was a great guide. We arrived late and he was able to adapt to the shorter time. We were a large group of varied interest in the topic. He was able to craft his presentation to those who had lots of questions and those who just wanted to take selfies :). He knew his topic well. I would recommend!

We had such a fabulous day with Pedro! We watch and read a lot about the Knights Templar history, and asked for a tour focused on the order and the Church of Christ history in the Tomar region. Pedro was great! He provided so much information and conversation about the order, the history of the country at that time and the architecture of the Convento de Christo that we did not know. He is a great guide, funny and smart, and excellent communication skills. We will ask for Pedro again for sure!
