Olá! I'm Ana, an Official Licensed Tour Guide based in Lisbon. Portugal is one of Europe's oldest nations, with centuries of history, traditions and fascinating stories waiting to be discovered. My goal is not simply to show you places, but to help you understand what makes Portugal so unique. As a full-time professional guide, I have dedicated my career to creating meaningful and enjoyable experiences for travellers from all over the world. I love bringing Portuguese culture to life through history, art, local traditions and the stories behind the places we visit. My journey began with a degree in Tourism Information from the Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies. Later, I obtained my Official Tour Guide license through the SNATTI professional examination and have been guiding professionally since 2014. What guests often appreciate most is not only the information I share, but the relaxed, personal atmosphere of my tours. Every traveller is different, so I always adapt the experience to your interests, pace and expectations whenever possible. Whether you are visiting Portugal for the first time, returning to explore it more deeply, interested in history, culture, gastronomy, hidden corners or iconic landmarks, I'll help you experience Portugal beyond the guidebooks. Let's create unforgettable memories together! For groups of up to 3 guests, transportation is provided in my comfortable private vehicle. Larger groups can be accommodated with a private driver and premium vehicle upon request.

Discover Portugal's most important Knights Templar monument on a private day trip from Lisbon
Overview of your Lisbon tour
Step into the fascinating world of the Knights Templar and discover how a medieval military order helped shape the history of Portugal. Leaving Lisbon behind, we'll travel to the historic town of Tomar, one of the most important Templar strongholds in Europe. The highlight of our day is the magnificent Convent of Christ, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built around the original 12th-century Templar castle. As we explore its chapels, cloisters and fortifications, you'll discover the story of the Knights Templar, their role in the foundation of Portugal and their transformation into the Order of Christ, which later supported the Age of Discoveries. We'll also uncover the symbols, beliefs and events related to the fascination surrounding the Templars centuries later. Before returning to Lisbon, we'll stroll through Tomar's historic centre and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Perfect for travellers interested in medieval history, architecture and one of the most intriguing organizations in European history.
