Additional Information

Upon completion of this journey, you will gain an understanding of what truly animates Tomar and gives it vitality. We initiate our exploration at Várzea Grande and progress towards Saint Mary Church, a one-time Cathedral known for its importance as a diocese locally and further afield. On our downward traversal, we’ll encounter sights of the Saint Iria’s Convent, which boasts one of the finest panoramas Tomar can provide. Subsequently, our journey will immerse us in the verdant Mouchão Park, where the Mouchão Wheel stands, purportedly an evidence of the Moors’ sojourn in this region. We resume our journey, this time venturing into the former Jewish district, stepping back into the 15th century and Jewish historical narratives. As we travel, let’s appreciate the renowned corner windows, the hallmark of yesteryear’s architecture. We will wrap up our tour in the city’s heart, the central square.

Great experience and a lot of information about history of Tomar - Sarah was our wonderful guide on a tour in Tomar. She explained the history and culture of people of Tomar very well and answered the avalanche of questions we had. Tapas at the end of the tour was a nice addition.

The city center history comes alive with this tour! - Sandra was an excellent guide! She really made you understand the people, history, and architecture of Évora. The little details everywhere came alive with her knowledge. A great way to spend 3 hours.

Tour History with a Knowledgeable Guide - David provided an excellent and informative tour of Tomar’s city center. He highlighted facts about buildings and sites that only a knowledgeable guide would be able to provide. A great value.

Time well spent - David, our tour guide was the best tour guide we have ever had. We have done similar tours in many international cities and he was the best. His training and education gave him a sound knowledge of Tomar and its history. He was also very friendly and a good communicator. I think many people go to Tomar just to tour the Covent and the Castle. The city has many other historic aspects that are worth learning about. I highly recommend this tour and company if you are planning to visit Tomar.

History of Tomar - David was an outstanding guide, extremely knowledgeable and relaxed. We enjoyed the city tour so much that we booked the castle and convent tour for the next morning. I would highly recommend both tours.

Tomar city tour - We did the city tour of Tomar with David after he informed us we couldn't tour the Convent of Christ as it was closed due to a Netflix filming. We were disappointed to not see this famous site but David gave us a lot of the Templar's history albeit without the spectacular backdrop. Next time.

Absolutely Exceptional - This company is like fine wine, it only gets better with age. I have had a tour 2 years ago with them and was extremely satisfied. Came back this year and they outdid themselves. 10/10 to David our guide and 10/10 to the beautiful city of Tomar!
