Tomar - Tomar, Portugal

Your private day tour will begin with a pick-up from your Lisbon hotel or cruise port. The objective of the day will be to show you the national monuments in Tomar, part of which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As this is a private tour, you can rearrange your tour how you see fit. Below is the standard itinerary for a Full Day Tour (The Half Day Tour will be more focused in the town of Tomar and the Convent of Christ):

After the pick-up, we will head directly towards Tomar, an approximate 1h30m drive. Upon arrival, we will visit the castle area, which includes the famous convent of Christ, where one of the most beautiful works of the Manueline style can be seen. Afterward, a small stroll in the center of the city, where you can taste some of the local sweets and/or lunch, after which we will head to the Almourol Castle, a small castle in the middle of an island in the river Tagus, which was also an important location for the Templar Knights. 

Before heading back to Lisbon, we can still have some time to visit Barquinha, a small but beautiful village by the river where the Templar Interpretation Center is located.
