My wife Uli and I have a long standing interest in the Templar knights and their history, which brought us to Portugal in May this year. We were booking a two day private tour with Knights Templars, which turned into the most amazing and fantastic travel experience in a long time.
Peter Moore from Knights Templar went out of his way to accommodate all our wishes (and more). He is not just extremely knowledgeable about Templars and the related historical, cultural and political facts but what really made it fun was his great sense of humor and him just being a most wonderful and caring human being. This is also true for his lovely wife Silvia and Joao, who was our tour guide on the second day.
We were able to see amazing places such as the Quinta Cardiga, the Convento de Christo in Tomar, Castle Almurol and the Knights Templar castle, the Torro in Dornes, Fatima, the old aqueduct , a former Templar farm , an old Synagoge in Tomar and finally the famous Templar church, Maria de Olivias, in Tomar, where Scott Walter (history channel) discovered the hooked X as a possible link to Templar findings in the US.
I never thought it is possible to learn so much in two days not just about new insights into the Templars, but also about Portugal and it’s history and traditions as well as it’s modern day economic and political situation. Fascinating and eye opening! Peter and the team, truly made and make the difference and we cannot thank them enough for all their support, guidance and most wonderful arrangements!
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!
Kind regards, Uli and Peter (Boston, USA).
