My wife and I contacted Knights Templar tours through the internet and we were very happy with the exchange of information that ensued. We opted for a one day private tour because of our age and a desire to have more time to discuss the Templar history and the area they governed one on one.

We were very pleased with the resulting tour and our guide, Peter Moore. He demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the Templar’s history and the three sites we visited: Quinta Cardiga, Castle Almourol and the Knights Templar Castle and Convent of Christ in Tomar.

We visited Tomar briefly in 2008 and had only had a short time to walk through the Convent of Christ during that visit.
