Private Knights Templar tour

Kelly_h, Nov 2023

It was an amazing trip and Hugo was an excellent guide. He even picked out an awesome local cafe for lunch….. would highly recommend this adventure!!!

Hugo is a FABULOUS guide - Ask for him! RECOMMEND!!!

Angela_J, Sep 2022

Hugo was a EXCELLENT guide. This is truly a private, guided tour. And it should be for the cost. The greatest part of the tour was the visit to the Knights Templar castle. An INCREDIBLE site to visit. There were several sites listed on the description that we did not get to see bc they were closed. I would double check before you book to make sure what they say is included…is actually included. Hugo made up for this by taking us to other sites but it was a bit disappointing. My 81 year old Dad was with me and Hugo was incredibly respectful and considerate of him and his needs which was greatly appreciated. All in all, I would recommend.

Hi, Thank you so much for your words. It sure was a wonderful day with your beautiful family. Please come back to revisit us. Regards.

Dont waste your money with this tour...

Dont waste your money with this tour company. While our guide was kind, he offered little or no value to this tour. Quite frankly, he knew nothing about the topic, and we had to google everything to learn about the sites. Pretty much, he was nothing more than a very expensive driver for the day. We felt as If hed rather not be doing the tour. He was not engaged at all. We learned absolutely nothing about Knights Templar or Portugal. Only positive, the sites were beautiful. RIP OFF. Wish I could get a refund.

This is an absolute must see! There...

Tiffany V, Jan 2018

This is an absolute must see! There is so much history with this tour. The castles are really neat. Two are ruins and one took over two hours to tour and was amazing! Suzanna was such a great guide. Had a ton of knowledge and taught us so much throughout the entire day. She even took us off the beaten path for two extra stops that she knew we would enjoy! We got to see the dam and aqueduct. She was also very accommodating with our small three children. We stopped at an excellent little restaurant that she recommended for lunch. A little bit of a drive from Lisbon, but definitely worth it!
