Knights Templar Tour - Boost Urban Thrills

The Best Tour To Tomar From Lisbon

ORIGINS OF PORTUGAL

About the Full-Day Tour

We promise you a journey back in time, castles that were built by the legendary Knights Templar and then later used by the Knights of Christ, the guys that set up the Age of the Discoveries.
At the first stop, there will be a short boat trip that will take the group to the island of the Almourol Castle, the most stunning medieval castle you can find in Portugal, with breathtaking views and sceneries around.
Next the medieval journey will take you to Tomar, a city founded by the Knights Templar that turned out to be also important a few centuries after when Henry, the Navigator, was the leader of the Knights of Christ.
In Tomar there is a stop at Santa Maria do Olival Church, former mausoleum of the Masters of Knights Templar in Portugal, and at the Convent of Christ, one of the most outstanding and important buildings for Portuguese history, an UNESCO site since 1983.
It also includes a surprise to sweeten you mouth. Join the Knighthood!

We had an incredible experience doing the 3 hour E-bike tour along the Belem with Yanick. He explained history around the city so well and the ride itself was beautiful and easy. We will definitely book with Boost when we come back!

The GoCar is a must! Amazing experience to visit Lisbon! We took the car for a full day which allowed us to park it and go see the monuments! João was so friendly and he helped us a lot!

We had an amazing ebike experience. Took the private tour with my partner. I hadn't gotten on a bike in years, let alone one on the streets in Lisbon. The tour guide, Andreas, was patient while I stumbled and navigated terrain. The spots we visited were beautiful. The city is full of history, and I definitely learned about it. Highly recommend the ebike tours.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour of Lisbon Hills on electric bikes with Bia, and I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences I've had tour wise! Bia was an amazing tour guide, and her knowledge of the area was truly impressive. She was kind, attentive, and upbeat throughout the entire tour, making sure that everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves.Bia's passion for the history and culture of Lisbon was evident in the way she shared information about the different sites we visited, and her enthusiasm was infectious. I felt like I was able to see and learn so much more about the city than I ever could have on my own.Overall, I would highly recommend choosing Bia as your tour guide for a truly unforgettable experience. Her professionalism, expertise, and wonderful personality made the tour an absolute joy. Thank you, Bia, for an amazing tour!

We had an awesome time biking around Lisbon with the electric bikes. Lisbon seems like a tough city to bike in, but everyone on the streets are respectful and it turns out to be a ton of fun. David, an employee, was awesome and helped us switch our rental to the right day after we scheduled the wrong day. He was awesome to talk to and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Thanks David and Boost!

Peter was the best!!! We had such a great tour of the city, he gave us such rich and amazing information not only on Lisbon itself but it’s vast and important history, down to why certain places were called what they are called and how the streets are built and mapped out. I called my parents right after this trip to share many of these details ♥️ Peter thank you!!! Already recommended you to all my friends coming soon 🙏 the bikes were also super easy and great to use. Lovely experience
