Templar River: Tomar and Almourol Shared Tour

This was a truly historic experience with a guide who brought it to life. A great discovery. Be prepared with good shoes!

We took the tour on a whim not knowing a whole lot about Tomar and it's history. we were so glad we did it afterwards. Our guide was super knowledgeable on the history of the area and the Knights of Templar. If you have the time for a day-trip from Lisbon I highly recommend this one!

This was a great day of sightseeing. Our guide, Tiago, was super informative and made the day very interesting.

Great history and relevant feedback from our guide. Van was comfortable and good company with other travelers

Our guide, Oriana, was amazing!!! She is so knowledgeable about the history of Tomar (the town as well as the Templar Castle and the Convento de Cristo Monastery), Almourol Castle and the Knights Templar. I booked this tour based on the interesting looking places to be visited with little more than a basic knowledge of the Knights Templar. After spending the day with Oriana I had a much better appreciation of the history behind the interesting looking places. She also provided a great recommendation for lunch (not included in the tour price). After lunch we also had some free time to explore Tomar on our own). I would highly recommend this tour (and if possible, request Oriana as your guide).

Had a brilliant day with out guide who was very informative and attentive from the early morning till the end of the day. We had a last minute hiccup before the trip started and ended up needing to bring our luggage with us the company were very obliging to accommodate our bags etc. On our trip as a group of four was very relaxed given plenty of time to check out all that was to see. Our guide was very patient as at time we had scattered lost in the history or the views and he was able to round us up like a mother hen bring us back to coup. Even ensured we had the right tickets etc. For the next leg of our journey. Brilliant trip well worth the money. Only disappointment was the gift shop at the castle. Couldn't see and books in English on the castle, though may have missed them. Thank you for a great day

As a history buff, the Templars have long been a fascinating subject for me. Visiting Almourol and Tomar was absolutely captivating. Our guide had an incredibly deep knowledge of Templar history and Portuguese history generally. And at the same time was incredibly gracious. Thank you!

This is a wonderful day trip. Tomar, Tomar Castle and Convento de Cristo, and the surrounding area of Portugal, are beautiful, and Almourol Castle is very interesting as well. Our tour guide, Joao, did a fantastic job. Even though we could not sail over to Almourol Castle due to the high water level and fast-flowing river, Joao had a backup plan to go to a historic church in Tomar where the headstones of former Templars are located. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Was amazing trip Daniel was a great tour guide with excellent knowledge and sense of humor. Took the extra step on everything we saw and did. Would use this company again no problem

Visiting the area of the Knights Templar was the most memorable, especially being were are decedent of the King of the Knights Templar. Joao (John) was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and courtesy.
