Review Our Tour Options and Tailor Your Experience

We offer a variety of tour options, each crafted with care to highlight the most significant and awe-inspiring aspects of the Templar legacy, as well as the unique landmarks and hidden gems of the region. Our tours are not merely about visiting historical sites; they are about delving into the heart of the Templar story, experiencing the places that shaped the Order, and walking in the footsteps of knights who once traversed these lands. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a seeker of adventure, or someone simply looking for an enriching day out,

there is something in our tour options that will speak to your interests.

To help guide you in making the best choice for your group, here are just a few of the activities you can consider:

Early Bird Talks: Start Your Day with Insight

For those who wish to begin their adventure with a deeper understanding of the history that surrounds them, we recommend booking one of our Early Bird Talks.

These sessions, typically offered at the beginning of the day, give you the chance to sit down with an expert guide who will introduce you to the historical context of the Templars, the significance of the key landmarks you will visit, and the cultural heritage of the region. During the talk, you’ll learn about the mysterious and fascinating life of the Knights Templar, from their rise to power to their eventual fall from grace. These talks are designed to provide you with the background knowledge that will enhance your experience as you visit the sites that hold so much historical importance.

Whether you are new to Templar history or a seasoned enthusiast, our Early Bird Talks are a fantastic way to set the tone for the rest of your tour, allowing you to engage more deeply with the sites you’ll be visiting. They provide an opportunity to ask questions, share thoughts, and even engage in discussions with fellow travelers, all while enjoying the serene atmosphere of the early morning.

Castle and Forest Tours: Explore the Mystical Landscape

One of the most iconic elements of any Templar tour is the exploration of the majestic castle and the verdant forests that once served as the backdrop to many Templar activities.

Our Castle and Forest Tours offer a hands-on experience that brings the medieval history of the Templars to life in a truly immersive way.

The castle in Tomar, complimented by the Convento de Cristo, stand as living monuments to the power, ambition, and mystery of the Templar Order.

These magnificent structures, with their fortified walls and secret chambers, have long fascinated historians, and a guided tour will offer you the chance to unlock the stories that are hidden in every stone. You’ll be led by knowledgeable guides who will share with you the strategic importance of these places, as well as the architectural marvels that helped define the era.

After the castles, we venture into the lush forests that surround the region. These serene woodlands have their own stories to tell, as they were once places of retreat and reflection for the Templar knights. Walking through these ancient trees, you’ll be able to experience the landscapes as the knights did, all while learning about the connection between the Templars and nature. The peaceful surroundings provide a perfect contrast to the grandeur of the castle, and the natural beauty will allow you to reflect on the enduring influence of the Templars on both history and the environment.

Synagogue Visits: A Glimpse Into Jewish Heritage

While the Knights Templar are the central focus of our tours, we also recognise that Tomar is a city rich in diverse history and cultural influences.

Our Synagogue Visits offer a unique opportunity to explore the Jewish heritage of the region, which is intricately woven into the broader tapestry of Tomar’s past.

The Synagogue of Tomar, a testament to the city’s medieval Jewish community, is one of the most significant sites in the area. Here, you will learn about the Jewish presence in the city during the time of the Templars and gain insight into the cultural exchange that occurred between different religious groups in the region.

These visits are an essential part of understanding the full history of Tomar, and they provide an enriching, multifaceted perspective on the city’s past.

Whether you are interested in Jewish history, or simply wish to expand your understanding of Tomar’s diverse cultural landscape, the Synagogue Visit is a meaningful addition to your itinerary.

It offers a deeper appreciation of the city’s heritage and the complex histories that intersect within its walls.

Lunch and Dinner Options: Savour the Flavours of Tomar

No visit to Tomar would be complete without indulging in the culinary delights that this region has to offer. Our tours come with the option of adding lunch and dinner experiences that allow you to savour the flavours of traditional Portuguese cuisine, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Whether you choose a traditional Portuguese meal in a cozy family-run restaurant or prefer a more upscale dining experience,

our partners ensure that you’ll have the chance to sample the very best of local gastronomy.

From the rich flavors of grilled fish to the delightful pastries that Tomar is known for, you will be able to enjoy an authentic taste of the region.
