Having recently joined the Knights Templar Order UK I was extremely interested furthering my knowledge of the Order as much as possible. If you have an interest in the Knights Templar history this is the place for you.

Peter, our guide on the first day could not do enough for us. This tour was different than most tours I’ve taken because of the personalization of the information given. I came away with a greater understanding and respect for the mission of the Templars, the sequence of the construction and the purpose of the building throughout the centuries.

João was our guide for the second day. He explained the culture, politics and economics of not only the Knights Templar but Portugal too, past present and future. His in-depth knowledge of the past kings and queens was remarkable and made our tour around the UNESCO sites extremely memorable.

We were so impressed with Peter and João we are in the process of arranging another visit for next year to attend the Templar Festival. We’re really looking forward to that.
