Originaly from Lisbon, I've moved to Tomar area after realizing that all I had to do in the big city was done,
Feeling how wonderfull it is to explore Tomar, I realized I had to share this exciting adventure with the whole world.
So I've decided to go deeper and learn everything about the city.
As I went further, my passion for Tomar became stronger and stronger.
So strong that I have to share it with you!

Frederico was an amazing tour guide and gave us an excellent tour of the Convent of Christ, and explained the history of the Knights Templar and the history of Tomar. He is clearly very knowledgeable on the subject and his passion and storytelling really brought the place to life.! he was very communicative and really helped us with our travel plans from Lisbon to meet him for this tour. We highly recommend Frederico as a tour guide and recommend his tour with him. It was so interesting and we’re so glad that we took it.

His knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for sharing the history and culture made the experience truly special. He was engaging, informative, and made the tour both enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended!

Frederico was extremely knowledgeable. While many areas of the convent are under restoration, the areas we visited were overwhelmingly beautiful and Frederico's knowledge of Portuguese history is vast. This was our first experience with Guru Walk and we enjoyed this tour very much.
