Overview

Step into the heart of Portugal’s Templar heritage on a private tour of the UNESCO-listed Convent of Christ in Tomar.

Explore the Templar Charola, Manueline Chapter House Window and magnificent cloisters while discovering how the Knights Templar became the Order of Christ and shaped Tomar’s history.

This is more than a sightseeing tour. It is a deeply researched interpretation shaped by years of first-hand knowledge. One of our founders has lived in Tomar for almost 50 years and holds a Master’s degree with distinction in Cultural Tourism Product Development. Since 2015, our team has researched and interpreted Tomar’s heritage.

Our storytelling draws on Portuguese academic research and specialist studies, enriched by the contribution of an active member of a contemporary Portuguese Templar Order.

We distinguish documented history from legend and speculation—giving the mysteries greater depth, context and meaning.

History without myths. Mystery without fiction.
