Overview

We promise you a journey back in time, castles that were built by the legendary Knights Templar and then later used by the Knights of Christ, the guys that set up the Age of the Discoveries. At the first stop, there will be a short boat trip that will take the group to the island of the Almourol Castle, the most stunning medieval castle you can find in Portugal, with breathtaking views and sceneries around. Next the medieval journey will take you to Tomar, a city founded by the Knights Templar that turned out to be also important a few centuries after when Henry, the Navigator, was the leader of the Knights of Christ. In Tomar there is a stop at Santa Maria do Olival Church, former mausoleum of the Masters of Knights Templar in Portugal, and at the Convent of Christ, one of the most outstanding and important buildings for Portuguese history, an UNESCO site since 1983. It also includes a surprise to sweeten you mouth. Join the Knighthood!

Itinerary

  • Castelo de Almourol

    We start this awesome medieval journey towards Almourol Castle, one of Portugal’s trademarks and most famous ‘postcards’ in the country. Erected 18m (60 ft) above sea level this small granite island has 310m (1.000 ft) long by 75m (245 ft) wide in the middle of the Tagus River waterway.

    50 minutes

  • Tomar

    Tomar was a land given as a fief to the Templars. It was especially important in the 15th century when it was a center for Portuguese overseas expansion under Henry the Navigator, the Grand Master of the Order of Christ, the organization that succeeded the Templars in Portugal. In here we can visit the Church of Santa Maria do Olival, the headquarters of the Knights Templar and a pantheon of all Grand Masters.

    1 hour

  • Igreja de Santa Maria dos Olivais

    In here we can visit the Church of Santa Maria do Olival, the headquarters of the Knights Templar and a pantheon of all Grand Masters.

    30 minutes

  • Convento de Cristo

    We finish this day in a great fashion: The Convent of Christ is a magnificent monument, a Templar stronghold back in the day, constructed under the orders of Gualdim Paes and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hidden gem, amazing sites, and knowledgable guide.

This tour is not to be missed! Leo is an amazing and knowledgeable guide. He is a historian who has a passion for knowledge and passing on education. His storytelling was captivating and he was very thoughtful and considerate with pacing the day and allowing enough time for us to enjoy the sites. In respect to the sites, our family had gone to 12 regions, prior to going on this tour, and I guarantee you, the sites you will see are the most unique in all of Portugal. I highly recommend this tour and Leo as a guide.
