“Daniel was very informative and knowledgeable. A GREAT guide and I would book again if I knew he was guiding!!”
Almourol Castle and Tomar’s Convent of Christ on a guided day trip from Lisbon, with an included boat ride and Templar churches.
“A lot of remarkable history, conveniently packaged in a day trip. Rui de Jesus was our guide, and one of the best I've had while in Lisbon. The hotel pick-up was also very nice. I wish we could have a bit more free time in Tomar, as we couldn't really see the town. There is also very limited vegan and vegetarian options available in Tomar. The early morning boat ride felt so magical. A very very good day.”

“Our driver, John, was there on time to pick us up, and engaged us in lively conversation about the subject of the tour - The Knights Templar - and courted the idea of 'conspiracy theory or myth', of what the Holy Grail actually was. Is the Holy Grail a person or a thing - Hmmm? Who indeed was Mary Magdalene? Hs knowledge of the Templars was extensive and there was not much he did not have a response to in our questions. He drove with confidence and got us to the various locations safely and on time.”

“As a general rule I don't do reviews - either positive or negative, but am making an exception in the hopes of helping other travelers plan and for the tour company to do better in the future. Our tour was organized by RM Cesar company. As others have said, this really isn't a tour - it's more of a ride to the places in the description. To that end we were picked from our hotel on time in a nice vehicle. I believe our driver tried to give some interesting information, but from what my son told me it was not cohesive. My son was the only person in the…”
