Leafing through this immense book we will be get in touch with the most diverse styles and forms which coexist there, making it the greatest example of this magnitude in the world.

Amazing place, having a guide is a must!!!

Published on Dec, 2024

We visited the Convent of the Christ after a morning tour of Crustas De Mira de Aire which is 40 minutes away. We had lunch at the cafeteria do Castelo (meeting point with the tour guide) and started our tour in time at 2:30 with Anna. Anna is an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide. She took us back in time to the Middle Ages recounting relevant stories about the place and gave us a nice overview and an outline of the tour while on the grounds outside the convent. Next we went inside, where she walked us through the three main sections of the place telling us historic facts about every little detail. It was a wonderful tour and we were very happy that we had a guide, otherwise we would have missed a lot of nice stories and details about everything… there are almost no signs or plaques to tell about the place so having a guide is a must!!!

Tomar tour

Anna was very knowledgeable but inserted humour to keep things interesting. One of the best tours we have had in Portugal. Would recommend this tour to all visiting Tomar.

Not to be missed!

I did this site by myself and loved it. The walk up the hill to get there was fine. Finding the entrance to the convent was a little tricky, even though I asked numerous people where it was. Once inside, it was mesmerizing. The layout and wall paintings are fascinating. Reminded me in some ways of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. It is such an unusual site and well worth the time to visit. The book shop unfortunately did not have any books, on the convent, in English.

Wonderful visit to the Convent of Christ

Published on Nov, 2024

Wonderful, interesting and educational. We spend half a day at the convent and walking around the gounds. It is a massive monastery complex and is worth the trip.

Amazing guided tour. Highly recommend it

We just finished a tour of the Convent of Christ with Tiago, and it was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable and even extended the tour for us. Tiago went the extra mile by walking us down to the old city and sharing some of its history along the way. Despite the rainy weather, he was thoughtful and kept us covered with his umbrella. This tour completely transformed our experience, and we highly recommend it 100%!
