Diego was so...

Rhonda_B, Jul 2025

Diego was so knowledgeable and such a great guide! Castles were amazing and he knew so much history! Diego was so good we asked him to take us on a tour of Lisbon. You can't go wrong on this one!

Beautiful Tomar!!!!

DeAnn_J, May 2025

It was a magical day and went perfectly! The city is beautiful and the tour of sites was amazing!!! Pedro took excellent care of us and gave us a lot of information. His passion and story telling made the day unforgettable.

The guide made this tour great even though sites were closed for holiday!

TraciAnne_W, Jan 2025

Our guide, Nono, was absolutely on top of all of the facts and history of not only the sites and Templars, but also of Portugal and Europe in general. The tour stops were all closed because of the holidays (and our tour operator reached out and was willing to reschedule, we just didn’t have the time in our itinerary). However, Nono did a great job making the day enjoyable.

Tomar is a wonderful day excursion, especially if you can navigate lots of stairs and steep climbs

Monica_R, Nov 2024

Ruben was charming and knowledgeable guide. He was very accommodating to my husband's need to avoid stairs. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him even though we had to omit certain portions.

Worth it

Jake_M, Jul 2024

Manuel was a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide. The van was comfortable and afforded good views. The sites in Tomar are one of a kind and worth the full day to visit and a guide is a must.

Fell in love with Portugal

Kathryn_V, May 2024

Our tour driver Alex was wonderful. We grilled him about everything and we learned so much. Our castle and monastery visits were very impressive. We fell in love with Portugal, thanks to this trip.
