Description

Award-winning actor turned storyteller brings Tomar’s rich history to life! Fun, educational, and packed with tales you’ll love — a must-do tour for curious travellers.

Most people come to Tomar for one thing — the castle.


Right now, it’s closed after hurricane force winds.


But here’s the truth:

If that’s all you see, you’ve missed the real story.


This walking tour takes you beyond the gates of the Convent of Christ and into the living, breathing town that made it possible.


Because Tomar isn’t just a monument — it’s a story.


Tragic story of a saint murdered for love, the horror of the Jewish massacre.


Tomar is artistry too. Watch skilled artisans craft traditional tiles and pottery


Insider tips where to eat, drink, and explore. Think of this as walking Tomar with a friend who loves the city And if you don’t laugh, your money back!

Guiding since 2024
I am an English tour guide based in Tomar. I love the history of the Templar knight and the medieval period of Europe. I travelled Portugal for two years before I settled on Tomar, so I know quite a bit about Portugal too.
