Tingly Templar Tours with David
When family & friends come to visit us in Portugal, we have an awesome way to help show off this amazing country and its mind-bogglingly deep history: David Monteiro and his private tours! We gave David a few places we'd like to visit (Convent of Christ in Tomar with its truly extraordinary 'inner sanctum', Nazaré, Obidós, etc), and he came up with just the right sequence to avoid traffic delays and maximise our time at each location. He helped us find **scruptious** lunch and dinner. And he was a constant font of interesting information. David has pride in his country's place in world history, and a broader awareness of European history to help contextualise it, and he speaks at least 5 languages (6 if you include Aussie ;-).
Response from the operator: Dear Anthony (Amfony), Thank you very much for your review of our "All over the place" tour :D It was great taking all of you around some great parts of this country, finding the best spots to eat and showing you the best views and monuments. It was a rather long day but totally worth it. I have yet to perfect my aussie but I am getting there mate :D Best Regards, David Monteiro

A real learning experience
A good guide can make or break a day trip. Our guide Pedro really made our day! We knew nothing about the Templar Knights before meeting Pedro. Now I feel like I earned the equivalent of college credits on the subject. Pedro spent a lot of time explaining the long history of the Knights and it came to life as we explored the castles. And you will enjoy the time you get to spend in Tomar!
Response from the operator: Dear James, Thank you very much for your review. Pedro is indeed a wealth of knowledge and I am lucky that he can sometimes cover me when I am busy. The feedback my clients give me from him is always great. Hope you had a great time and come back in the future for more tours with us. Best Regards, David Monteiro

Enjoyable day
Our guy David was very knowledgeable spoke very good English and made some recommendations based on what we wanted to see so he was able to adjust the program which was nice. The visit to the Templar castle, the coast and the Walled palace were exceptional exceptional. Lunch was in a quaint local restaurant on the coast and very nice. Try green wine for the first time and enjoyed it I would recommend the store
Response from the operator: Dear Rich, Thank you very much for your review. It was a pleasure being your guide and driver for this tour and I hope you had as much fun as I had spending the day with you. Hope to see you again soon. Best Regards, David Monteiro

Incredible Day of Templar History
We highly recommend this tour. My husband particularly loved it as he is a mason. We visited a castle where the Templars defended the territory from the Moors coming up the river and then off to to Tomar, Portugal where the Templars became The Order of Christ around 1318. Our guide, David Monteiro was gracious and so very informative. Having the entire day to absorb it all was wonderful. We ate a magnificent lunch in a local restaurant in Tomar. This was a wonderful tour for the History Channel fan or Masonic Brother. David was an awesome guide. Another great Viator experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Debbie, Thank you for your kind review. Another great tour with nice people that are interested in learning all the aspects of the portuguese history and the famous Templars. I hope you had a great day and that you have a chance to come back one day for more of our amazing country. Best Regards, David Monteiro

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Portuguese Knights Templar PRIVATE Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does The Portuguese Knights Templar PRIVATE Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 The Portuguese Knights Templar PRIVATE Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 The Portuguese Knights Templar PRIVATE Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 The Portuguese Knights Templar PRIVATE Full Day 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 The Portuguese Knights Templar PRIVATE Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Portuguese Knights Templar PRIVATE Full Day Tour?
+
Around 3 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Portuguese Knights Templar PRIVATE Full Day 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.
