We greatly enjoyed our Knights Templar tour with João. Even before the tour, he was very communicative and then arrived promptly to whisk us away from Lisbon for the day. In addition to showing us magnificent sites, he kept the discussion interesting, with everything from history to fiction and conspiracy theories. The pace was good, with enough time to enjoy each stop, plus a leisurely lunch at a tasty restaurant he suggested in Tomar. We wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with him the next time we're in Lisbon.

Joao (John) was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He clearly loves his job and sharing his knowledge with his clients. He is very accommodating and focused on what we wanted and needed. The tour was well organized and he was very aware of opening times, lunch closures, traffic patterns, etc. He selected a great place for lunch that met our needs for diet restrictions. The various monuments, monastery, churches, and other significant Knights Templar sites were exceptional and Joao's research and ability to discuss the history, various theories, how they relate to each other and the larger political events was very enlightening. He was especially engaging when he learned my husband was a Freemason and could share a lot of relevant information. Joao also enlightened us about the tile history and various tile production. He also spoke about other sights in Lisbon and various other bits to help us enjoy the rest of our stay. Highly recommend this tour and Joao.
