My wife Meg and I went on a full day trip with Peter and Sandra. We had asked to customize our tour a bit and they had no trouble adjusting to give us some more time in Alcobaca and Batalha. They had someone leave the business and so they had to adjust again to make the schedules work, which meant we went to lunch with Peter (fantastic) and saw a few more Tomar sights that were already on our list for free.

Peter was very knowledgable and told us many things that would have been glossed over on a group tour or outright ignored (such as the room in the Convent of Christ where some of the Portuguese Inquisition took place). He also gave us a lot of the geopolitical reasoning that led up to the events that took place in each location, which give the places a lot more historical grounding. When we asked a question he could not answer, he researched it that night and we had a response the next day.

Sandra also went in to great detail about Alcobaca and Batalha and pointed out little intricacies that gave the places their historical grounding or pointed to the hubris of the designers.

Both were excellent guides that could go in any direction you wanted to know more about and would highly recommend them to anyone going to Tomar and wanting to get a deep history of the most famous structures in the region.
