Highlights
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. Your ticket is included.

About Coimbra
Coimbra is a hill city on the Mondego River in central Portugal, home to a centuries-old university, a baroque library and its own style of fado.
Coimbra rises above the Mondego River in central Portugal and was the country's capital in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Its university, founded in 1290 and settled in Coimbra from 1537, is the oldest in Portugal, and the old campus on the hill is a UNESCO site with the gilded Joanina Library and a tall clock tower. Students still wear black academic capes.
Top-ranked sights in Coimbra: University of Coimbra (Universidade de Coimbra).
