Fantastic trip
A fantastic trip with a knowledgeable guide José. He was incredibly knowledgeable in the Portuguese history, The Knights Templar order, Gastronomy, and the local areas toured. But also, kind humble and helpful to others encountered along the way. I happened to visit during the strike of the Services department of the museums and monuments of Portugal. Which resulted in the Convent of Christ being closed which wasn’t anything José could do to prevent. However he did everything within his power to make up for this setback in the tour and I commend him for trying to help me have the best experience possible. I look forward to a return visit to Portugal and to taking this trip or a similar one again in the future.
Response from the operator: If there is one tour that is steeped in history and mysterious events, this is it. And José, who is also passionate about the Knights Templar, is the ideal guide for this tour. Despite the strike at the Convent of Christ in Tomar, the fact that Tomar is located in an area of Portugal where there are other historic towns allows us to find alternative places to visit. We are very happy that you enjoyed the tour and all the history shared by José.

Almourol-Tomar, and the...
Almourol-Tomar, and the Templars were wonderful to experience. Jose’s knowledge of the history made the tour even more memorable. The convent was so unique and outstanding and it was a spectacular experience. Jose was professional and an excellent tour guide and teacher.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for writing this feedback on the Almourol-Tomar tour you had with José. The Templars are such a unique topic in Portugal's history, and we're pleased that José was able to share his huge knowledge about them with you. The Convent of Christ is indeed a must-do when you go to Tomar, not only because of its history, but also because of its beautiful architecture. It's heartwarming to see such sweet words about our guide, we assure that he will know about them. We would love to welcome you again on your next visit to Portugal. Kind regards.

History and calm outside the city
I’m still processing everything from yesterday. It was such a rich day, full of impressions, places, and stories. The tour was thoughtfully structured and moved at a relaxed pace, which made it easy to enjoy. I especially appreciated the balance between history, nature, and quiet moments. Bruno was a great guide. He was knowledgeable without being overwhelming and open to adapting the experience along the way. The stop at Almourol was a highlight, and the visit to the Convent of Christ gave a real sense of Portugal’s layered history. Thank you again. It was a really special experience.
Response from the operator: Hello! We appreciate your review, and we are happy to hear you enjoyed your tour of Tomar! Bruno always tries to make the best experience possible, and adapt it to your preferences along the way. We're happy to hear that you also got the notion of our layered History through this tour, and we hope to share even more of our History with you if you come back to Portugal! Kind regards

It was a great day full...
It was a great day full of history and beautiful places linked to the Knights Templar. I learned a lot, and everything was easy to understand. Bruno was a wonderful guide, kind, helpful, and proud to share stories about Portugal. One of the best moments was visiting Castelo de Almourol. It’s on a quiet island, and you take a small boat to get there. The view from the top was stunning, with storks flying above and kayaks on the river. Very peaceful. Another unforgettable stop was the Convento de Cristo in Tomar. The main altar is incredible, full of detail and surrounded by powerful wall paintings. I also had the tastiest, freshest fish for lunch. A perfect day, highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Hello Olga! Thank you so much for your review! The Knights Templar's order in Portugal is a great tour for people who are interested in this order's History, being that they have such a big presence in Portuguese History. We will pass the message on to Bruno about how much you enjoyed your tour with him. We'd also be happy to host you again if you return to Portugal, so feel free to contact us! Kind regards

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Order of the Knights Templar, History and Legacy - private tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Order of the Knights Templar, History and Legacy - private tour cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Order of the Knights Templar, History and Legacy - private tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Order of the Knights Templar, History and Legacy - private tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Order of the Knights Templar, History and Legacy - private tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Order of the Knights Templar, History and Legacy - private tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Order of the Knights Templar, History and Legacy - private tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Order of the Knights Templar, History and Legacy - private tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
