Our family thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Tomar and our tour of the Knights Templar Castle and the Convent of Christ.

Peter and Sylvia brilliantly and kindly thought to both join our family so that one could present the tour at a level that would hold our (8 and 9-year-old) boys’ attention while the other (the roles alternated) ensured that the adults obtained maximal information on the amazing sites, and what an incredible wealth of knowledge both Peter and Sylvia have.

Had our children not gotten hungry, we could have extended the tour for hours on end, and Peter and Sylvia still would have had more information to share when it was time to leave.

We were excited to learn that our next vacation destination is likewise steeped in Knights history, and our appetites have been whetted to learn as much as we can on them before we depart for that trip.

Peter and Sylvia could not have been kinder or more hospitable, and we hope our journey takes us back to Tomar so that we can again visit with them and learn even more about this fascinating period of history.

Thanks, Peter and Sylvia!
