We are two friends who met each other at the Tomar area. After building a strong friendship and feeling how wonderfull it is to explore Tomar, we realized we had to share this exciting adventure with the whole world. So we've decided to go deeper and learn everything about the city. As we went further, our passion for Tomar became stronger and stronger. So strong that we have to share it with you!

It ended up being a tour just for me, that alone is very much appreciated. Due to incessant rain we went to Convent of Christ. Frederico started by enquiring about my interests, then he had both facts and general flow of history at his fingertips. Great guide. Btw Cistern during heavy rain is very impressive.
