Tomar Templars: Small-Group Convent of Christ Tour + Tickets
Description
Discover the Convent of Christ through the eyes of people who truly know Tomar. Our small-group English tour combines authentic local knowledge with carefully researched Portuguese history. One of our founders has lived in Tomar for almost 50 years and holds a Master's degree with distinction in Cultural Tourism Product Development. Our guides were born and raised in Tomar, bringing genuine local knowledge and a passion for its Templar heritage. Our interpretation is grounded primarily in Portuguese academic research and specialist studies of Tomar, the Knights Templar and the Order of Christ. The Templar dimension is also curated with the contribution of an active member of a contemporary Portuguese Templar Order, adding a specialist perspective on this living heritage. We clearly distinguish historical evidence from legend and speculation, while making the past engaging and memorable. History without myths. Mystery without fiction. Your ticket is included.

Thank you so much for your review. We also do tours in Tomar,Fátima and Coimbra. We wish you the best.
Our tour guide was excellent. This was a small group tour and we cousins were the only ones who showed up. The information that our guide related was soooooooo good and it was all easy to follow and learn. She was exceptional with her knowledge such that we felt as if we were back in time experiencing the activities. Very interesting about the Templars and the Convent of Christ. Beautiful architecture and areas. This tour was exceptional and our guide made it so. I have used Viator tours before in years past and have never been disappointed. My groups were usually small and not over 15 and often just 2-4. Very well organized and Viator always kept us in the loop. Be sure to download WhatsApp as most tour companies and guides will contact you through that application right before a tour or a day ahead. Well done. Thanks Viator.
