I contacted Outlander Tours to arrange a modified tour based tour and they were highly responsive and made the adjustments very simple. By the standards of getting a driver and guide and a customised tour, the price was extremely reasonable. My guide/driver was Raphael was extremely knowledgeable and affable and we had a wonderful discussion while on the roads. And the sites themselves were marvelous. I had plenty of time to get all the pictures I wanted and absorb the different atmospheres. Tomar is a bit more austere (apart from the riot of art that is its church) whereas Batalha is more ornate and flashy. Both are glorious. I substituted Alcobaca monastery for Tomar - not because Tomar isn't wondrous - but because I'd already been there on my own. I definitely felt the experience was well worth the price - I got a solid day amongst the monuments of Portugal's past, transportation that would have been otherwise difficult for a non-driver like myself, and Raphael definitely is an excellent guide. I would place the experience and the company as definitely in the upper tier.
