Paulo was a very kind and informative guide. My family and I learned about the history of the Templar Knights, the Covenant of Christ, and Fatima from Paulo. He has a deep love for this area and it shows as he presents it to you. Paulo also took us to see Castelo de Almourol in the middle of the Tagus River which was not in the original tour. I highly recommend Paulo. He has was great!
We had a wonderful day. Our guide was awesome and very knowledgeable. It was just my daughter and I on a private tour and we were very comfortable. Great conversations with our guide.
Paulo was wonderful and so knowledgeable- we fell like he is now a dear family friend. We visited Tomar - had lunch at a local rest and the. Off to Fatima where we had a great experience as Paulo knows so many people!
We had the most amazing day with Paulo today. The Tomar tour of the Knights Templar Convent of Christ was incredible, and we enjoyed our time at the Fatima Sanctuary as well. Paulo knew the history of each so well and answered all of our questions. We had great conversations with him and he was an excellent driver too. We stopped for a nice lunch with him in Tomar also. He picked us up on time and we rode in a nice Mercedes minivan. We highly recommend his tours.
This is truly an experience and not merely a tour. Intertwining Portugal's history and the Templars in Tomar by an expert historian was fascinating. The castle/monastary compound in Tomar is larger and more diverse than anticipated and Paulo pulls all the extensive facts together. Fatima is also a special visit for those of the faith and others who have heard the recent story. A local lunch completed the day with wonderful food you don't find in the big cities. An expensive but very worthwhile excursion with lasting impressions.
Paulo was an expert on the Templar knights. It was a lovely trip with lunch at a traditional Portugal family owned restaurant. I highly recommend this trip.
Paolo was an outstanding guide and host. His knowledge and passion for Portugese history and how it is intertwined with faith is impressive. He knows all the best routes and places and is very patient answering our many questions. Truly a joyful day that we will cherish. Thank you Paolo
Our guide Jorge was excellent— great stories and history of all sights. Tomar was truly magical — cloister tour was beautiful. Fatima was heavenly. We were treated to a children’s choir. My husband was walking with a cane and Jorge found ways for us to enjoy every sight.

This was a wonderful dream come true for me to visit Fatima Paulo Moreira dropped us off at the main gate and allowed us to experience the little chapel, tree and basilica and later joined us at the chapel It was a real treat for him to take us to the little village where the children had lived and to meet the niece of Francisco and Jacinta. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Convento de Cristo He knew a great deal of information We absolutely loved the day❤️❤️❤️
We did the one day private tour with Paulo to Fatima and Tomar. We cannot say enough about Paolo. He shared his historical knowledge & insight and was very familiar with the history of Portugal and the specific sights we visited. We visited these locations on a very stormy day. Paolo monitored the weather to change up the order and we were able to dodge most of the bad weather. He also brought us an umbrella. Paolo was very friendly. We enjoyed our many conversations throughout the day.
Thank you, Melinda It was nice to meet you and share this day in your company. Thank you again for booking with us. Paulo moreira
