A cold day at the convent

Stacia_P, Jan 2026

On a cold day, the convent was freezing! But the tour was worth it. Our guide Sara was well versed on the history and special characteristics of the multiple structures. There was lots to see - indoors and outside - and just enough places to get warm for a few minutes. So glad we didn’t miss it.

Our guide was Miguel and he was very knowledgeable. Tour was well worth it! Learned a lot of small details about the history and architecture we would not have picked up on our own.

Average tour

MA_N, Apr 2024

I thought our tour guide was okay, but he had a bit of a language barrier. There were some questions that we asked that he was unable to answer. We had to look the answers up when we got back to the hotel. We started the tour at 3:30, and we're done by 4:50. The price seemed a bit high for less than 1.5 hours.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear MA_N, I hope you are well. We appreciate your feedback as it is very important for us to continue offering an excellent service to those who visit us. We analyzed the situation and agreed that the quality standards and terms of the service were not met, as such, we refunded you the total amount paid for this service. We are very disappointing for not having met your expectations and we will work to ensure that similar situations do not happen again. We will be happy to welcome you back, hoping that you will be satisfied with our services. We wish you the best. King regards, Diogo Caldeira
