Avoid the hassle of renting a car or using public transport.
Small-group tour limited to eight people for an intimate experience.

This will be a journey through time, where you can learn a little more about the history of the Knights Templar, men who were simultaneously Knights, Warriors and Monks.

​The Templars played an important role in all the great eras and battles in Portugal, from the founding of the country with D. Afonso Henriques to the Discoveries. The headquarters of the Templars and, later, of the “Order of Christ” settled in Tomar, making this the Templar capital of Portugal and Spain and one of the most important in the medieval world.

Expect to be guided by someone who likes to feel the wind and really feel nature. We're not history or geography buffs, so don't expect to be overwhelmed with loads of historical facts or political information.
