While we made all arrangements with Peter, Joao was our tour guide for the day (Nov. 29). From the start we had a good feeling of the company through our emails with Peter, who was very detailed in terms of what the tour included, pricing, etc. Later on, he also provided train schedule to Entroncamento and suggested the closest train station from our hotel.
Joao met us at the Entroncamento platform and took us on his car, duly identified with the company logo. Joao is also a resident of Tomar and he is well verse in the region’s history. While very knowledgeable, he was flexible to accomodate to the group’s interests. He answered to all our questions and more!
Joao took us to Almourol Castle (lovely views!), Christ Church and a walking tour of Tomar. Every body knows Joao in town. He took us to a local restaurant for lunch. The quality of the food was excellent and at a reasonable cost. We would love to visit again the Knights Templar region and when that happens, we know who we can depend on to give us a very fulfilling, informative and fun tour.
Thanks Peter and Joao!
