Travel back in time to the days of the Knights Templar with this 8-hour, guided tour. Join us as we visit some of the most important monuments associated with one of the most intriguing and enigmatic military orders the world has ever seen. The order of the Knights Templar was founded at the beginning of the 12th century for the protection of the Holy Sepulchre and of Christian pilgrims on their way to the Holy land.
We will pick you up at your hotel or accommodation in Lisbon and drive you to the Convent of Christ, originally a Templar stronghold that later became a Roman Catholic convent after this military order ceased to exist in the 14th century. Explore the convent and learn more about the history of the Templars.
Also see the magnificent castle of Almourol, a medieval castle atop an islet in the middle of the River Tagus. This castle was part of the defensive line of the Templars and acted as their stronghold during the Portuguese Reconquista.
Get the chance to enjoy queijinhos do ceu, a traditional Portuguese sweet, along the way. We will drop you off at your hotel or accommodation after the trip is over.
Taste the essence of Portugal and Spain as you wander through historic cities with rich culture and vintage wines. Explore Lisbon, where narrow Moorish streets meet expansive squares and a castle that overlooks a vibrant, cultural scene below. Walk the scenic Ribeira waterfront in Porto, a Portuguese harbor city and home to Port wine. Enjoy a relaxing 2-night stay on the grounds of a winery in the Douro River Valley. Visit the lively city of Salamanca, before touring Bilbao and San Sebastián and get up close with the local culture of the Basque Country, one of the most renowned Spanish regions for food and wine. Savor this journey along rolling hills, distinct cultures, curving coasts, and twisting vines.

Overall satisfied with the tour. Guides were pleasant and knowledgeable. Drivers were safe and friendly. Areas to improve is to ensure bud drive back to the hotel when guests were left to tour the city. We were a big group 17 pax and were left in the city to find our own means to get back to the hotel. The Sintra excursion was a disappointment to the whole group as we were not taken to the actual Sintra Castle but only at the bottom site where there is not much to see. We all felt short changed for the excursion fees we paid. The Flamenco excursion was unsatisfactory too. Also we were misinformed that the Flamenco is outside the city and would be tight if we watch the bull fight show of 6pm. We were all dismayed when we were taken the Flamenco venue located only within the bull fight stadium.
They did everything they promised, but it is what they did above & beyond that stands them apart. We were caught in the fires in Portugal & they arranged transport to get us out of danger, changed hotel bookings to accommodate the new circumstances & made us feel very safe. We were more than impressed with the level of communication & service. I won't be looking anywhere else when I book my next trip.
