What you'll see and do
Lisbon
Depart from anywhere in the Greater Lisbon area on this no-rush private tour. Our journey begins towards Tomar, the greatest home of Templar history in Portugal. A comfortable 90-minute highway ride awaits you and this will be the longest drive of the day. No worries, there's always room for a rest stop. Let's go!
Pass by without stopping
Convento de Cristo
On arrival to Tomar we will visit its jewels, namely the Castle of Tomar and the Convent of Christ. As well as other beauties, you'll have the chance to see the Charola, which is one of the best of the rare examples of a circular church in the world, and to see the Janela do Capítulo window, which in the originality of its decorative work depicts in art the greatness of the kingdom of Portugal at the time of the Discoveries. As was the criterion for being classified as a World Heritage Site, the site had to be representative of a masterpiece of humanity's creative genius.
120 minutes here · Admission included
Tomar
We leave the castle and the convent and go to stroll and wind through some of the streets of the Historic Center of Tomar to discover more historical and Templar references, learn how the local community still vibrates with Templar culture and feel the pleasantness of the river and the picturesque corners of the town.
30 minutes here
Tomar
(OPTIONAL) It's lunchtime. Although it is not included in the tour program, we have set aside time in the program for it. We'll take care of these details once you've booked the tour.
Pass by without stopping
Batalha Monastery
Batalha follows. We go straight to the Monastery, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful works of Portuguese and European architecture. It is a wonder to behold. This exceptional architectural ensemble was the result of a promise made by King João I in gratitude for his victory at Aljubarrota, a battle fought at the end of the 14th century, which guaranteed Portugal's independence. You can imagine that the work took more than 150 years, resulting in an architecturally impressive building of unparalleled beauty that deserves to be seen at least once in a lifetime and is reason enough to have been classified as a World Heritage Site for more than 40 years.
90 minutes here · Admission included
Monastery of Alcobaca
Now on to Alcobaça. On arrival, we'll take an easy stroll through the charming historic center, along the rivers and even taste the sweet “cornucópias”, a typical and award-winning sweet. Then we'll visit the 12th century Alcobaça Monastery, a UNESCO heritage site. If you don't feel like visiting all the Monastery, we'll at least visit the impressive Gothic royal abbey where you'll discover two carved stone tombs, probably the most beautiful you've ever seen, and learn about a beautiful but tragic love story. Without a doubt, a must-see.
90 minutes here · Admission included
Alcobaca
(TASTING) To go to Alcobaça and not try traditional and ancient pastries would be a serious sin. Why you'll taste the sweet "cornucópias", a typical and award-winning pastry. Just enjoy it. It's on us.
30 minutes here
Lisbon
It's time to head back to Lisbon. But if we still have time and you feel like it, we can make a short detour to visit the medieval town of Óbidos. Our guide will be happy to show you around this beautiful and picturesque town with its cobbled streets, curious stores and 12th century castle. It's up to you. We're here for you. The journey takes between 10 and 12 hours, depending on the optional visits you make and whether you decide to have lunch on site. As a matter of transparency, we would like to inform you that in addition to the added time of 6 hours given to the attractions listed in the itinerary, the remaining 4 to 6 hours announced refer to: 4 hours for the total travel time, and the other 2 hours for the total time of the moments listed as optional and lunch. By the way... we'd like you to know that by choosing us you're choosing a free tour for children under 11 and a 100% sustainable car trip, as all GHG emissions generated are fully offset.

Review of Marco as our guide
Marco was extremely informative and knowledgeable about the history of Portugal especially as it related to the places we visited (Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaca). He was easy to converse with and has a good sense of humour. We learned far more than we would have done if we had done it by ourselves and would recommend Marco as a guide to anyone visiting Portugal.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much. Very happy that you enjoyed the tour and that Marco, as a guide, elevated the experience and took the discovery of these splendid places to another level of learning. Thank you for your curiosity and for the great recommendation.

An amazing Day!!!
n amazing day visiting Tomar, Batalha & Alcobaça!!! Our day started off by being greeted by our guide for the day. Marco was welcoming and thoughtful. He arrived in a beautiful black Volvo. The car was equipped with complimentary snacks and bottled waters. Which is perfect for a 10 hour day. With Marco’s extensive knowledgeable of the regions history, he painted a beautiful picture for us to envision what was. We enjoyed each city individually to its fullest, never once did we feel rushed. Many times he offered to be our photographer without hesitation. He even treated us to one of Tomar’s local dessert. As the day progressed it felt like we were on an outing with an old friend. We talked, laughed and joked. He introduced us to our first Portuguese cuisine. A meal that was already pre ordered for us. I understand that could be a little intimidating, but in our case, had it not been for Marco pre-ordering we may had never tried it on our own. The restaurant he chose was absolutely perfect. We highly recommend this company and tour to everyone.
Response from the operator: Wow! Thank you so much for your comments. I am very happy that you enjoyed all the services as well as the discoveries you made. It was a pleasure to show you around and introduce you to some of Portugal's heritage, history, and culture. Thank you.

We had a fantastic experience on the Tomar, and Alcobaça UNESCO private tour. WE were making our way up to Porto and made these stops along the way. Traveling with the Amity Family made all the difference—their deep knowledge, thoughtful storytelling, and warm hospitality brought Portugal’s rich history to life in a way we couldn’t have experienced on our own.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your rate and wonderful review. It was a real pleasure for me to have had the opportunity to take such a lovely and fun family to see some of the most beautiful sites in Portugal.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça UNESCO Day Private Tour From Lisbon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça UNESCO Day Private Tour From Lisbon cost?
+
Prices start at $331 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 Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça UNESCO Day Private Tour From Lisbon take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça UNESCO Day Private Tour From Lisbon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça UNESCO Day Private Tour From Lisbon?
+
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 Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça UNESCO Day Private Tour From Lisbon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça UNESCO Day Private Tour From Lisbon?
+
Around 1 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça UNESCO Day Private Tour From Lisbon 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.
