You have come too far not to have a fabulous time and learn. Follow the trail of knights, secret symbols, and lost stories through cobbled alleys and hidden shrines most tourists miss.

Explore Tomar with a local guide and seasoned traveller. Yes, I’ll visit the stunning UNESCO Convent and mighty Templar Castle — but also uncover dark legends and the gripping tales of those who built this city with blood, sweat, and sacrifice.

Tragic story of a saint murdered for love, the horror of the Jewish massacre. This isn’t just about admiring historic sites, though you’ll see breathtaking ones, it’s walking in the footsteps of knights, monks, and martyrs.

Tomar is artistry too. Watch skilled artisans craft traditional tiles and pottery in a working studio, keeping centuries-old techniques alive.

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