Experiencia única!

We had an excellent guide and more, it was a personalized tour from start to finish, very professional, friendly and fun, the places Tomar and Almourol are wonderful and full of charm, they should be on the list of visits in Portugal. I definitely recommend this tour and if with our guide even better! Thank you very much!

Excellent Trip

I had a great time with Eduardo, he was very polite and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.

Greatly recommended tour

Mr. Eduardo Manuel Silva was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Knights Templar in Tomar. And you could tell he enjoyed sharing his knowledge. Without his expertise we would not have learned as much if we had toured the convent and Castle on our own. We did not feel rushed when we wanted to take photos. He took the time to show us a Roman aqueduct outside of the city. He shared a delicious non tourist restaurant with us. We returned from the tour with a greater sense and appreciation of the Knights Templar in Portugal. Give Mr. E. M. Silva a raise because he certainly deserves it.

Unforgettable

This trip really emerges you into the life of the Knights Templar. If you're into the medieval ages, this one's for you! Vasco is very knowledgeable on the history of the Templar Knights and combined with his charisma, made the trip quite unique and a blast for both of us. Wish we could've done some other tours with him as well! Ps. Vasco knew a great medieval themed place to eat which was the perfect compliment to the day.

Templar Knights: Tomar and Almourol Castles Full Day Private Tour

Viewing the castles and landmarks was great. While smoking is common in Lisbon, the driver was apparently a heavy smoker - and the smell was extreme. There was some short commentary - but periods of even 45 minutes with no conversation. Stops were primarily self - guided. I was directed to go into the town and explore - alone. No time frame. I then get a call from the company asking where I was. I was under the impression I would have a guide - not just a driver, and this driver just didn't seem to enjoy his job.

O guia Vasco foi excelente, nota 10... Não foi apenas um guia e sim um amigo que nos orientou e fez brincadeiras durante todo o dia... Simplesmente fantástico...
