Overview:
We promise you a journey back in time, castles that were built by the legendary Knights Templar and then later used by the Knights of Christ, the guys that set up the Age of the Discoveries. At the first stop, there will be a short boat trip that will take the group to the island of the Almourol Castle, the most stunning medieval castle you can find in Portugal, with breathtaking views and sceneries around. Next the medieval journey will take you to Tomar, a city founded by the Knights Templar that turned out to be also important a few centuries after when Henry, the Navigator, was the leader of the Knights of Christ. In Tomar there is a stop at Santa Maria do Olival Church, former mausoleum of the Masters of Knights Templar in Portugal, and at the Convent of Christ, one of the most outstanding and important buildings for Portuguese history, an UNESCO site since 1983.

Tomar was fascinating, especially learning about its connection to the Knights Templar. The historical context helped bring the sites to life.

The guide explained complex history in a clear and engaging way. It never felt overwhelming, even for those without prior knowledge.

The pace of the tour was well managed. There was enough time to explore, listen, and ask questions without feeling rushed.
