Private Knights Templar Tour: Tomar & Almourol Castle

Sintra, Portugal
  • 8 hours (approx.)
  • Pickup offered
  • Group discounts
  • Mobile ticket
  • Offered in: English

Overview

The Knights Templar left a significant mark on Portugal—from the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Convent of Christ in Tomar to the river island fortress of Almourol Castle in Constancia—but reaching both sites from Lisbon requires transport that's difficult to arrange independently. This private day trip covers both cities with a guide who traces the history of the order and its role in the formation of Portugal throughout.
  • Enjoy the undivided attention of your guide throughout
  • Check off multiple key locations without having to handle the logistics
  • Learn far more than you would exploring independently
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off ensures a seamless experience from the start

Cancellation Policy

You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance of the experience for a full refund.

Excellent tour!!!!!

Nancy_H, Apr 2025
Hugo was an EXCELLENT guide for the day. He speaks VERY good English and is extremely knowledgeable of the history and countryside. We toured north of Lisbon and made stops in Tomar, Fatima, Bataha, Nazar’e, and several small villages. We had the best seafood lunch in Nazar’e. If you like to get out of the city and see some real beauty, this tour is HIGHLY recommended.

Best day trip from Lisbon

Eduardo was incredibly knowledgeable about everything. We saw some beautiful sites and got to beat all of the crowds as well. I highly recommend going on this tour!

Fantastic tour!

Dawn_C, Sep 2023
My family and I had a wonderful day soaking up the history of the Knights Templar! I can't say enough good things about our guide, Eduardo, who really made this tour such a wonderful time. He expertly taught my group of 6 about Knights Templar history in a very fun and engaging way. Also, my group had members with some physical challenges. It was so incredibly helpful that this was a private tour with a caring and knowledgeable guide who could help us get the most possible joy out of this experience. 10/10 would recommend this tour!!!

Loved Templar Country

Annabel_L, Oct 2022
I loved my day with Eduardo- we got along like a couple of old friends. He is so friendly and personable- so glad I met him. Tomar and Almoural castle were awesome and being able to take my time, ask questions and have details I would have never noticed myself shown to me by an expert was priceless.
