“Anastasia was the perfect guide. She was so informative not only about the locations and landmarks we visited but also about culture, food, traditions, geography, history of the area and beyond. She pointed out locations to make sure we see on our own and recommendations for tours we were booking with others. I felt like we were traveling with a friend. I highly recommend her. I learned so much about the Templars and the order of the cross on this tour. Such an interesting and influential part of Portugal and European history. The monastery was incredible. Make sure to take this tour. You will not regret it.”
