All of Tomar's history and loads of fun.
Overview
Award-winning actor turned storyteller brings Tomar's history to life through unforgettable tales, humour, and local insight.
This isn't a dry history lesson or a march between monuments. It's a journey through the real Tomar, the town behind the famous Convent of Christ and one of Portugal's most fascinating places.
Hear stories of the Knights Templar, a saint murdered for love, the tragedy of Tomar's Jewish community, royal intrigue, and the people who shaped Portuguese history.
Along the way you'll discover hidden corners, traditional crafts, local culture, and receive insider tips on where to eat, drink, and explore after the tour.
Fun, informative, and full of personality, this experience feels less like a guided tour and more like exploring Tomar with a knowledgeable friend who loves sharing its stories.
