Viator Disappointed a Family of 12 to Portugal
We did NOT get to go...booked through Viator and Viator cancelled our trip twice. Didn't care one bit! Here is the full story on our Portugal tours through Viator. A group of 12 went to Portugal and booked various tours through Viator. The first tour to Sintra, Regaleira and Pena Palace went great...had a fantastic tour guide who stayed with us the entire time. The next tour was a Douro River Boat Trip which was fun, but about 2 hours too long...also the "wine tasting" event was very poor...one small glass of Port and that was it! The Obidos, Nazare, Batalha & Fatima tour was ok - but the tour guide was a joke. She spoke a little on the bus and then when we got to the places, she did not get off the bus to guide us...we were on our own to figure things out. The final tour was supposed to be the Templar Knights...Viator cancelled on us the night before we were to fly out. It took our travel agent HOURS to find another tour only for the second tour to be canceled on us the day before the tour. Viator did not care about it at all. Very disappointing.
Response from the operator: Dear customer, thank you for your feedback. We have been taking your feedback into consideration in order to improve our services.

Tomar (Full Day Tour - Sonia was a wonderful driver and tour guide)
We have just returned from beautiful Lisbon, where we were so fortunate to have booked two (full day private tours) one of which was Tomar. Sonia our driver and tour guide for both tours was so kind, caring, helpful, professional and knowledgeable. She had a warm engaging personality. We visited the amazing Almoroul Templar Castle, Tomar town centre, Church of St. John, Synagogue, Christ convent (a must see on your itinerary) and Church of St. Mary. Sonia had all the tours timed to perfection and everything was so well organised with no time being wasted. We loved sharing our time with Sonia and we have wonderful memories forever of the beautiful sights and having Sonia's company was an added bonus. Thank you so much Sonia for making our holiday so very special and for all the wonderful photos you took and your patience and consideration in my running in and out of the shops!!! Teresa & Des, Dublin, Ireland xx
Response from the operator: Dear customer, thank you for sharing with us your experience. We look forward to having the opportunity to work with you in the future.

Experiencia única!
We had an excellent guide and more, it was a personalized tour from start to finish, very professional, friendly and fun, the places Tomar and Almourol are wonderful and full of charm, they should be on the list of visits in Portugal. I definitely recommend this tour and if with our guide even better! Thank you very much!

Excellent Trip
I had a great time with Eduardo, he was very polite and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.

Greatly recommended tour
Mr. Eduardo Manuel Silva was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Knights Templar in Tomar. And you could tell he enjoyed sharing his knowledge. Without his expertise we would not have learned as much if we had toured the convent and Castle on our own. We did not feel rushed when we wanted to take photos. He took the time to show us a Roman aqueduct outside of the city. He shared a delicious non tourist restaurant with us. We returned from the tour with a greater sense and appreciation of the Knights Templar in Portugal. Give Mr. E. M. Silva a raise because he certainly deserves it.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Templar Knights: Tomar and Almourol Castles Full Day Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Templar Knights: Tomar and Almourol Castles Full Day Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $213 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 Templar Knights: Tomar and Almourol Castles Full Day 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 Templar Knights: Tomar and Almourol Castles Full Day Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 13 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 Templar Knights: Tomar and Almourol Castles Full Day 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 Templar Knights: Tomar and Almourol Castles Full Day 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 Templar Knights: Tomar and Almourol Castles Full Day 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 Templar Knights: Tomar and Almourol Castles Full Day 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.
