A very unique tour of a lesser known area with a rich history starting with the Knights Templar. Tons of fascinating things to see and our guide, Simone was top notch. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful excursion to Tomar sites with our private guide Simone. It was a great way to spend our first day in the Lisbon area. We always check Viator for places to visit in our free time.

Great tour but make your own lunch arrangements

Delyth_G, Oct 2022
Paulo was very knowledgeable and provided a great day. Lunch booking at a restaurant serving heavy historic food a little odd given lunch not included but we skipped and found a great little cafe.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear Delyth, Thank you so much for your review. We are very glad that you enjoyed our tour to Tomar. Regarding the restaurant we never include it on the tour exactly because we don't want to impose any restaurant to our guests. We just book a table in order to avoid our guests to wait in line and lose time from the tour. But it's completely their choice if they want to eat in that restaurant or not. We don't have any agreements with restaurants. Our only goal is to provide the best experience ever to our guests. In Tomar, a medieval town, our guests usually appreciate the experience to eat at the medieval restaurant, because it's different and the food is typical from that Region. We apologize that the restaurant did not please you. Fortunately you found another one quickly. We wish you a safe return back home and once again we appreciate a lot your feedback. Kind regards, Margarida

Great day!

Susana was an exceptional guide. Her love of and knowledge of the region was wonderful. We experienced an entire day of information, laughter and local culture. At the end of the day it felt like we were leaving a new friend. We highly recommend the tour and Susana.

Special tour guide and wonderful family experience.

Heather_C, Dec 2021
This tour was a highlight of our trip to Lisbon. While the historic sites were incredible, our guide Susana was what made it special. She was very knowledgeable, gracious, quick to answer questions and accommodating of the needs of a diverse group (adults, teenagers and elderly parents with mobility challenges). She made sure that everyone in the group had a good time and got the most out of the experience. She offered ideas about places to explore in Lisbon and wonderful suggestions for restaurants. We had such a good time, we immediately booked a second tour with her. We are definitely going back and hope to book another tour with Susana.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Dear Heather, It makes us very happy to know that you spent two wonderful days with us. It's always so good to us to have such wonderful reviews about our tours. And we are lucky to have such wonderful customers as you all. Thank you so much and hope to see you back soon in a near future. Happy New Year! Kind regards, Margarida
