Hi there! I'm Sandra, a history buff and qualified Official Tour Guide. Welcome to this stone book...

Let's embark on a fascinating journey and discover the history of the Knights Templar. Immerse yourself and feel truly passionate about the story of these knight-monks who founded the first Templar nation so far away from Jerusalem: Portugal! (Sounds like Port of Grail?) Who were the Templars? What was their link to Portugal? Well. . . where do I start? Do you have 8 hours? :) Tomar is a Templar stone book. A story parallel to the history of Portugal. At the end of the day, you'll realize why Portugal wouldn't exist without the Templars, and why we protected them from persecution. Let's read that stone book in the Convent of Christ (both their headquarters and a UNESCO World Heritage site), in the Santa Maria do Olival Church (their pantheon, the last abode of the Templar Masters) and in the emblematic Almourol Castle, in the middle of the Tagus river. After this tour, you'll fall in love with the Templars as much as I have!
- The tour will begin picking you up at your location within Lisbon. - We'll go on a boat ride and a visit to the Almourol Castle, after 1,5h drive*. - Next, we'll visit the Santa Maria do Olival Church, their pantheon. - We then embark on a Templars journey at the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Convent of Christ" where I'll give you a guided tour inside. - Afterwards it will be time for lunch (I will make a reservation for you at a thematic restaurant). - In the end, we'll return back to Lisbon (1h45m trip). *If the weather/river conditions do not allow us to visit the castle (access by boat), I provide an alternative - I will advise you whenever possible. This itinerary can be customized upon request.
