    Excellent Knights Templar Tour with Anastasia

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Knights Templar tour and would highly recommend it. Our visits to Almourol Castle, Tomar Castle, and the Convent of Christ were fascinating and gave us a wonderful insight into Portugal’s rich history. Our guide, Anastasia, was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Portuguese monarchy and its relationship with the Knights Templar, and she explained everything in an interesting and engaging way. Her knowledge really helped bring the history of these remarkable places to life. Anastasia also knew the best locations and viewpoints for taking photos, which was a wonderful added touch. She made sure we had opportunities to capture some beautiful memories of the castles and surrounding scenery. The Convent of Christ and the castles were especially memorable, and the tour was both enjoyable and informative. We came away with a much greater appreciation for this fascinating period of Portuguese history. A very worthwhile experience and a highlight of our time in Portugal. Thank you, Anastasia, for a wonderful tour!

    Response from the operator: Dear Friends! Thank you very much for your kind words and very happy did love our day. Hope to see again. for amazing day!! Cheers João e Anastasiya. Muito obrigado e até a próxima !!!

    One of the best historical tours we have ever experienced

    As passionate lovers of history—especially medieval history—our expectations for this tour were extremely high. We hoped for an immersive experience, but João did far more than meet our expectations: he exceeded them in every possible way. The logistics were flawless, making the entire day effortless and enjoyable. The tour itself was absolutely fascinating. João brought the history of the Knights Templar and the Order of Christ to life through detailed explanations, captivating stories, and an extraordinary depth of knowledge. He patiently answered all of our questions—and there were many!—with enthusiasm, expertise, and kindness. His time management was excellent. The day was perfectly organized, yet we never felt rushed. At every stop, João gave us the freedom to explore at our own pace while ensuring we experienced everything that made Tomar and Almurol so special. If all of that were not enough, João is an exceptionally kind, courteous, and thoughtful person. The photograph I am sharing here, showing him helping my mother down a staircase, speaks volumes about the impression he left on us: intelligent, hospitable, attentive, and genuinely caring. João, thank you for giving us one of the best tours of our lives. We left Tomar with a much deeper appreciation for Portuguese history and with memories that we will treasure . I strongly encourage anyone interested in history, culture, or the legacy of the Templars to book this tour. It is an unforgettable experience, and João is simply an outstanding guide

    Response from the operator: Dear Friends!! Thank you very much for your kind words and very happy did love our day. Hope to see again for amazing day!! Cheers João e Anastasiya. Muito obrigado e até a próxima !!!

    Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.

    How much does Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar cost?

    +

    Prices start at $155 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 Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 152 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar?

    +

    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 Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar?

    +

    Around 53 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar 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.

    What is included in Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Compulsory insurance; Private guide and accompaniment to all monuments; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 398 listed pickup locations in and around Lisbon. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Russian, Portuguese, Ukrainian, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tour of the Knights Templar's of Tomar?

    +
