My wife and I along with friends took the private tour with Joao who was extremely knowledgeable and shared a great deal of history around the Knights Templar and the Order of Christ as we toured Almourol and Tomar. Great tour and would definitely recommend.

Highlight of our trip. Pedro was knowledgeable and personable tailoring the tour to our interests. Ask for Pedro. His knowledge of Templar and European history makes the day pass so quickly.
