Visit to the one of the most important Shrines in the world.
Our visit continues to the Castle and Convent of the Knights Templar, a Unesco’s World Heritage Site, has one of the most expressive testimonies to the history of Portuguese architecture, that later became the Order of Christ, construction of which occurred between the 12th and the 17th centuries.
Visit to the historical center of Tomar.
Paulo was a very kind and informative guide. My family and I learned about the history of the Templar Knights, the Covenant of Christ, and Fatima from Paulo. He has a deep love for this area and it shows as he presents it to you. Paulo also took us to see Castelo de Almourol in the middle of the Tagus River which was not in the original tour. I highly recommend Paulo. He has was great!
We had a wonderful day. Our guide was awesome and very knowledgeable. It was just my daughter and I on a private tour and we were very comfortable. Great conversations with our guide.
Paulo was wonderful and so knowledgeable- we fell like he is now a dear family friend. We visited Tomar - had lunch at a local rest and the. Off to Fatima where we had a great experience as Paulo knows so many people!
We had the most amazing day with Paulo today. The Tomar tour of the Knights Templar Convent of Christ was incredible, and we enjoyed our time at the Fatima Sanctuary as well. Paulo knew the history of each so well and answered all of our questions. We had great conversations with him and he was an excellent driver too. We stopped for a nice lunch with him in Tomar also. He picked us up on time and we rode in a nice Mercedes minivan. We highly recommend his tours.
This is truly an experience and not merely a tour. Intertwining Portugal's history and the Templars in Tomar by an expert historian was fascinating. The castle/monastary compound in Tomar is larger and more diverse than anticipated and Paulo pulls all the extensive facts together. Fatima is also a special visit for those of the faith and others who have heard the recent story. A local lunch completed the day with wonderful food you don't find in the big cities. An expensive but very worthwhile excursion with lasting impressions.
Paulo was an expert on the Templar knights. It was a lovely trip with lunch at a traditional Portugal family owned restaurant. I highly recommend this trip.
Paolo was an outstanding guide and host. His knowledge and passion for Portugese history and how it is intertwined with faith is impressive. He knows all the best routes and places and is very patient answering our many questions. Truly a joyful day that we will cherish. Thank you Paolo
Our guide Jorge was excellent— great stories and history of all sights. Tomar was truly magical — cloister tour was beautiful. Fatima was heavenly. We were treated to a children’s choir. My husband was walking with a cane and Jorge found ways for us to enjoy every sight.
This was a wonderful dream come true for me to visit Fatima Paulo Moreira dropped us off at the main gate and allowed us to experience the little chapel, tree and basilica and later joined us at the chapel It was a real treat for him to take us to the little village where the children had lived and to meet the niece of Francisco and Jacinta. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Convento de Cristo He knew a great deal of information We absolutely loved the day❤️❤️❤️
We did the one day private tour with Paulo to Fatima and Tomar. We cannot say enough about Paolo. He shared his historical knowledge & insight and was very familiar with the history of Portugal and the specific sights we visited. We visited these locations on a very stormy day. Paolo monitored the weather to change up the order and we were able to dodge most of the bad weather. He also brought us an umbrella. Paolo was very friendly. We enjoyed our many conversations throughout the day.
Paulo was very knowledgeable and courteous. My husband and I had a great experience with this tour. He even provided suggestions for items we wanted to purchase in Portugal. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Wonderful experience: Paolo is so knowledgeable--an expert, really--on the history, architecture, and various art styles that have been so lovingly preserved at these sites. The chapel inside the Convent of Christ at Tomar is jaw-dropping. Hearing the history and legends while viewing these relics is so illuminating. Great tour if you're curious, like to learn, and don't mind the oppressive July heat! The van was air-conditioned, and seated our group of 6 comfortably. The drive was a pleasant one, through beautiful landscapes and lush fields of grapes and olives. Well-priced for a private tour; don't miss this gem with Paolo.
Our tour guide Paulo was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and personable. We highly recommend this tour and Paulo .
This was a fantastic day tour of Fatima and Tomar with Paulo our guide and driver. We were the only 4 pax in a comfortable MB van so it ended up being a private tour. Tomar is a must see for history buffs like us. Paulo was well versed in the Knights Templar history and we enjoyed listening to his stories. It was a comfortable day since it was a private tour and Paulo was flexible with our time, allowing us to go shopping in Fatima and buy religious objects. We were lucky to hear mass at Fatima and we had our rosaries blessed. I highly recommend taking this tour with Paulo! It was money well spent!!!
When my I planned this tour, I didn't expect it to be a private one with just me and my party. It was worth the experience! Paulo is a kind, approachable, knowledgable, and a flexible tour guide. Initially, we were looking forward to seeing Fatima, but Paulo also took us to Tomar. What a great visit! He made the whole experience interesting and fun. We started in Tomar to visit the Convento de Cristo. His historical and political knowledge of the place really helped put the site's significance in the context of Portugal's history. Following lunch, we went to Fatima. Paulo was flexible enough to allow our party to spend more time at the holy site to explore before heading back home. If you are looking for a nice, friendly, dependable, and fun tour of Tomar and Fatima, I highly recommend Paulo's tour. Thank you, Paulo, we loved it!
Paulo shared his knowledge & friendship with Dan & me all day on this MUST EXPERIENCE Portugal architectural & religious tour. Just the two of us with Paulo, doesn’t get ANY better than this!! His English was so good and his historical perspective makes us want to travel with him again. Thanks for a tremendous trip.
We were in a group of four people (me, my fiancé and his parents). Paul was extremely punctual and kind from the very beginning. We traveled in a very comfortable minivan, with Wi-Fi available. During the whole journey Paulo provided us with valuable information about the history of Portugal, and we were fascinated by his ability to pass so much knowledge in a pleasant and friendly way. At the Convent of Christ in Tomar, he demonstrated his understanding of history, architecture, politics and religion, making our visit even more profitable. Next we went to Fatima, where he indicated us an excellent restaurant for lunch, after which we went to the Sanctuary, and Paul left us very comfortable with the time to visit him, and even reserved us a wonderful surprise at the end. In short, more than a guide, we made a friend that we will definitely look for when we return to Portugal. Highly recommended tour!!!
