Explore three of Portugal’s most stunning UNESCO World Heritage Sites on this 9 hour private tour of Tomar, Batalha and Alcobaça.
You will be picked up at your hotel at 8:30am to begin your private tour. On the hour and a half drive to the Monastery of Alcobaça your guide will tell you about the country’s largest church that was built by the country’s first King around the same time of the founding of Portugal as a nation. You will also learn about the tragic tale of Prince Pedro I and his murdered mistress Inés de Castro, Portugal’s greatest love story. During your guide tour of the Monastery you will see their beautifully carved tombs that are placed facing one another in the transept.
The next stop on the tour is the Monastery of Batalha, a magnificent example of Gothic and Manueline architectural styles, which houses the tomb of Prince Henry the Navigator, who initiated Portugal’s Age of Discoveries. After your visit you will have an hour free time for lunch in town.
The last stop on the tour is the town of charming Tomar, where you can take a step back in time and learn all about the world of the Knights Templar. You will visit the impressive Convent of Christ, the octagonal church modeled after the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and and the last Knights Templar town to be commissioned.
