Overview

Discover the Convent of Christ through the eyes of people who truly know Tomar. Our small-group English tour combines authentic local knowledge with carefully researched Portuguese history.

One of our founders has lived in Tomar for almost 50 years and holds a Master's degree with distinction in Cultural Tourism Product Development. Our guides were born and raised in Tomar, bringing genuine local knowledge and a passion for its Templar heritage.

Our interpretation is grounded primarily in Portuguese academic research and specialist studies of Tomar, the Knights Templar and the Order of Christ. The Templar dimension is also curated with the contribution of an active member of a contemporary Portuguese Templar Order, adding a specialist perspective on this living heritage.

We clearly distinguish historical evidence from legend and speculation, while making the past engaging and memorable.

History without myths. Mystery without fiction.
