Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Je bezoekt het klooster van Alcobaça, een 12e-eeuws cisterklooster, gesticht door de eerste Portugese koning, Afonso Henriques. Hier hoor je ook het waargebeurde tragische liefdesverhaal van koning Pedro I en Inês de Castro terwijl je hun graven bewondert.
Dit meesterwerk van de Portugese gotiek is het resultaat van de vervulling van een belofte van koning João I uit dankbaarheid voor de overwinning in de slag om Aljubarrota tegen het koninkrijk Castilië (1385), dat de troon veilig stelde en de onafhankelijkheid van Portugal garandeerde.
Bezoek het hoofdkwartier van de Tempeliers in Portugal, het klooster van Christus in Tomar. Hier ontdekt u de eeuwenoude band tussen de Tempeliers en het koninkrijk Portugal. Bezoek de originele ronde kerk (Charola), gebouwd aan het einde van de 12e eeuw door de eerste grote Meester van de Tempeliers.

We made a stop in Tomar to see the Convent of Christ on our way from Porto to Lisbon and are so glad we did! It is a UNESCO world heritage site and former headquarters of the knights Templar. The building is stunning and in very good shape. Parts are under renovation but it is still worth the visit. Every bit as stunning as the monastery in Lisbon. Be sure to stop and visit
We had a fantastic time going on the Tomar, Batalha, and Alcobaca monastery tour. Our tour guide, Sandra, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of each monastery and could explain all the small details of the architecture and artwork we saw that day. She was such a wonderful person, very engaging with us, and made our experience truly fun and memorable.
Thank you so much, Mateo, for your wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic time exploring Tomar, Batalha, and Alcobaça. Sandra was so happy to know that her passion for history and attention to architectural and artistic details helped bring each monastery to life for you. Making these places both engaging and easy to understand is something she really cares about. We’re especially glad to hear that her warm and engaging approach made the day not only informative but also fun and memorable. Thank you again for your kind words. We hope to welcome you back for another experience in Portugal!
We booked 3 separate tours, our guides were Sandra and Luis. Sandra for the Tomar, Batalha and Obidos tour and the Lisbon tour as well. Luis was our guide for Sintra. Both were really fun and extremely knowledgeable. We saw and learned so much more than we could have on our own. I HIGHLY recommend No Map Tours.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that all three of your tours were such great experiences. Sandra and Luis will be delighted to know their knowledge, enthusiasm, and fun approach helped you see and learn so much throughout your time with us. We truly appreciate your high recommendation — it means a lot!
Our Monasteries Tour through No Map Tours was exceptional, especially thanks to our guide Sandra. She was incredibly knowledgeable about each of the three sites we visited and made sure to point out the pertinent and most interesting architectural details. I would highly recommend booking this private tour to maximize sightseeing output when in Lisbon.
Thank you for the fantastic review Arvind! We're over the moon to know you had an exceptional monasteries tour with Sandra. And thank you for recommending this tour, it's one of Sandra's favorites. Please come visit Portugal again!
Sandra was an excellent guide! Her knowledge of history of the monasteries was superb. I had done some research prior to this tour. But she went well beyond what I thought I knew. The mode of transport was top notch. Muito obrigado! Mario
Your glowing review put a smile on Sandra's face! We’re so glad you enjoyed the Monasteries Tour and your guide. She has been with us for over 10 years, and her love for history shines through every time. Thanks, Mário, for the great review!
Sandra is a very knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot about Portuguese history. The castles and monasteries are spectacular! The trip was very well organised, in a comfortable car, with all needed breaks. She picked us up at our hotel and returned us back.
Thank you, Mikhail, for the fantastic review! Your kind words about the quality of the Monasteries Tour and tour guide Sandra mean the world to us. We're so happy to hear that you learned a lot about the Portuguese history and that you found our castles and monasteries spectacular. It’s wonderful to hear we’re on the right track!
The Best Excursion We've Done in Portugal and the Best Guide, Sandra, We've Had on All the Tours We've Done on All Our Trips In addition to the places, which are essential, the explanations and the artistic and historical context that Sandra gave us made us very enjoy the visit
¡Esta evaluación nos alegró el día! Muchas gracias, estamos más que agradecidos. Estamos encantados de saber que les proporcionamos la mejor excursión que tuvieran en Portugal, y la mejor guía. Sandra se alegró de saber que disfrutaron del contexto artístico e histórico de los lugares - imprescindibles - que visitaron. El Convento de Cristo en Tomar es verdaderamente un lugar especial. ¡Vuelvan a visitarnos pronto!
The tour was incredible, we learned a lot more about Portugal, we loved it! We visited Batalha and Tomar on the day, with lots of history and learning.
Muito obrigada Isabella, por sua avaliação. Ficámos radiantes por saber que acharam vosso tour incrível. O Mosteiro da Batalha e o Convento de Cristo são mesmo dois locais muito especiais. Esperamos vocês de novo para mais história. Até breve.
We had a great time on this trip. Our guide Sandra spoke excellent English, was knowledgeable, engaging and funny. She accommodated our request for a specific lunch stop while we’re in Tomar. All the stops were beautiful, and having a guide really helped us understand what we were seeing. We came for the art history. Sandra showed us many details in the tombs and architecture that we probably would have overlooked visiting on our own. I highly recommend.
Thank you so much, Rebecca, for the glowing review! And for highly recommending us. Sandra was overjoyed to read you had a fun day of history at the monasteries tour. And we couldn't agree more: the monasteries of Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça are all beautiful. We're glad that you didn't miss the details ;) Happy travels.
My family and I learned a lot because Sandra patiently guided us through everything and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Kimberly, for the fantastic review! It was great to meet you and your family. I'm so happy to hear that you had a fantastic tour to Alcobaça, Batalha and Tomar monasteries. Happy New Year!
