Reviews

What people who took this tour have said.

We really liked the fact that the tour was self guided. We were able to stop when we wanted and explore. Our only recommendation is that there could be more tours in other cities like Lisbon, Porto, and Sintra.

A good audio guide to assist a walk through Tomar via 6 or 7 key locations. Set your own pace and off you go. The ai narration with very little emphasis and emotion really did get annoying towards the end hence 4/5. Otherwise a really good value experience and I will look for similar guides in other towns and cities I visit.
