Testimonials

A memorable experience. Would definitely have missed a lot if I had gone to the convent without a tour.

Two of us arrived at the train station and Peter picked us up. His passion and knowledge of this topic are amazing! Tomar is enchanting by itself and with Peter’s commentary you can feel as if you’ve travelled back in time.

Peter is professional, engaging and truly enjoys his work promoting the beautiful area around Tomar. Peter was the first private guide that we have hired and we were thrilled with our choice of guides.

If my trip was an unforgettable one, it was thanks to the beauty that Portugal offers, the kindness and courtesy of its people, and the special encounters.
The best of these encounters was with Knights Templar Tours. Thank you Peter and Cecilia!

Peter was funny and very easy to talk to – his knowledge, humor, and great friendly personality made for a wonderful day. Thanks!

We came a strangers and left as friends ! Highly recommend the tours with Knights Templar ! They are the best and live the spirit of Templar knights!
It was a phenomenal experience, Peter and the team! Will stay in contact and see you again!

Our five-night stay in Tomar was fabulous beyond our expectations because of them and how they graciously accommodated our every wish. We will always be grateful for this wonderful time.

…Peter is extremely knowledgeable and provided little bits of information you wouldn’t get elsewhere. Even though the tour was over Peter continued to provide us information and tips for our further travels in Spain, certainly service that goes above and beyond.

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.

My wife Ayala and I were very satisfied with the guiding and organization of Knights Templars. Joao Fiandeiro wa not only an excellent guide but he was a very fine human being as well. He has a very positive attitude to his work and we enjoyed his company and his knowledge. Peter and Sylvia made us feel as if we were their house guests.

…when they brought me to Hotel Dos Templarios for my stay and toured me energetically and efficiently throughout the region, they fully exceeded my highest expectations.

I cannot recommend highly enough, Peter’s tour of the castle. So much detail and significance that would have gone unnoticed without him. These folk are also a great source of information about ways to enhance your general Tomar /Portuguese experience. It is a great job you are doing there, and a pleasure to meet you both.

Ich danke Euch für die Organisation und die freundschaftliche Stimmung welche mich nicht als Tourist sondern als Freund mit Euch entdecken lassen … und neugierig machen auf mehr!

We’ve got a great tour around Tomar (Portugal) with the guide Cecilia. She was nice and showed us all her knowledge about the history of the region, including the Jewish heritage that we were particularly interested.

The whole day was terrific. We will let lots of people know that this is a great addition to the popular things to do in Portugal.

The places visited were both interesting and stunning, made all the more so by the detail Joao provided about each one. There was lots of information in addition to the Knights too.

This visit exceeded all our expectations and we saw and learnt so much fascinating history which would have been impossible to experience without the vast knowledge of Peter and Sylvia who also provided cold bottled water, answered any questions and made sure the day was filled with good humour and friendship.

Peter and Sylvia have a wealth of knowledge about the area, it’s history, topography, customs, culture, architecture etc. They share this knowledge enthusiastically and with humor. There was time for questions and more discussion when requested.

The private tour allowed us to see everything, not be rushed, not be stuck in the herd of people, no need to push to the front so you could hear the guide. It was a wonderful experience and I would repeat it again.

I had a last minute trip to Portugal and booked a tour with Peter. He crafted the tour to fit my schedule, included my areas of interests, and allowed for disabilities such as ability to manage stairs. The tour design allowed time to get the essence of the building as well as photos.

If you have an interest in Knights Templar history this is the place for you. Peter could not do enough for us. Whether you want an intensive trip or a little more laid back Peter and Knights Templar Tomar will pull out all the stops.

Journeying with João was like travelling with a friend. His knowledge of history and the stories and anecdotes kept us totally captivated throughout….We have been raving about our Templar knights trip to all our friends and recommending Templar Knights tour as well as Portugal for their next holiday.

Thank you so much Peter and João. We can easily say that the Templar Tour was one amazing highlight of our trip to Europe and we haven’t stoped telling people about it since our return.

…Peter gave me a much deeper insight. I especially liked the details about daily life and the little hidden jokes here and there.

Our tour with the Templar Knights was extremely fascinating and intriguing, flavored with great local culinary, scenery and people. We where fortunate to experience such a memorable trip and look forward to returning to Tomar.
