I am an English tour guide based in Tomar. I love the history of the Templar knight and the medieval period of Europe.
Explore Tomar beyond the surface with a tour designed for the traveler, not just the tourist. Of course, we'll delve into the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Convent of Christ and the formidable Tomar Castle. But this journey takes you deeper—into the hidden stories of those who sacrificed their lives to build this city.
Tomar's past is steeped in bloodshed, death, and concealed horrors, forged by the hands of soldiers. Hear the tragic tale of the saint murdered for love, learn about the massacre of Jews and uncover the city's connections to wars, crusades, and sorrow. This isn't just about admiring church windows, though you'll see a few of those too.
I'll guide you to the best places to visit after the tour, from museums to the best spots for a drink. You'll get insider shortcuts to make the most of your time here. My tour is like wandering through the city with a friend who loves his home and wants to share every bit of it with you. And if you don’t laugh, you get money back.
I'll be by the statue
I pass this and show you where it is
I leave you here to explore yourself
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
