Overview

Award-winning actor turned storyteller brings Tomar's history to life through unforgettable tales, humour, and local insight.

This isn't a dry history lesson or a march between monuments. It's a journey through the real Tomar, the town behind the famous Convent of Christ and one of Portugal's most fascinating places.

Hear stories of the Knights Templar, a saint murdered for love, the tragedy of Tomar's Jewish community, royal intrigue, and the people who shaped Portuguese history.

Along the way you'll discover hidden corners, traditional crafts, local culture, and receive insider tips on where to eat, drink, and explore after the tour.

Fun, informative, and full of personality, this experience feels less like a guided tour and more like exploring Tomar with a knowledgeable friend who loves sharing its stories.

What's Included

  • Explore Portuguese food in the market (not Monday or Sunday)
  • Onward Travel Knowledge - I have travelled in Portugal for two years and I know it well.
  • The best places to eat and drink in Tomar - breathe Portuguese culture in.
  • Convent of Christ admission

Roda do parque do Mouchao

The Roda Hidráulica do Mouchão in Tomar, Portugal, is a historic hydraulic water wheel dating back to the 17th century. Located in the picturesque Mouchão Park, it served as part of the city's irrigation system, harnessing the power of the Nabão River to supply water to the surrounding areas. The wheel, made of wood and iron, stands as a testament to Portugal's engineering ingenuity of the time. Today, it's a charming symbol of Tomar's rich history and is a popular spot for visitors to admire and photograph.
