Portugal Travel tips + Guides
Walking tours of Tomar and audio guides of Porto, Lisbon, Faro, Lagos and Fatima
Mark was an excellent storyteller and very engaging as we walked the sites of Tomar.
Enjoyed very much and highly recommend!
Mark is an excellent tour guide who knows Tamar inside out. Very knowledgeable and flexible in his approach to adapting the walking tour to our needs and interests. Gave us fascinating info on the Knights Templar, etc., and the vagaries of life in Portugal through the ages.
I had a solo tour with Mark. He tells the story of Tomar and the Templars with great enthusiasm and knowledge. I learned so much about the Templars and Henry the Navigator. I appreciated the stops at the ceramic studio and the (odd) matchbook museum. He was very thoughtful of my age and mobility issues for which I was very grateful. Very glad I booked this tour.
Mark was everything a tour guide should be—enthusiastic, knowledgeable, fired up by history and most of all an excellent storyteller who opened our eyes to the delights and mysteries of Tomar. Plus it was fun! He gave us great tips for restaurants and further travel. Thanks, Mark!
Tomar has an extremely interesting history and Mark, our walking tour guide, opened up this
world for us. He is funny, engaging and extremely knowledgeable about this wonderful
town. Highly recommended.

Mark gave us a great tour with history combined with folklore and humor. A delightful
morning spent learning about the Knights Templar.
Our guide was really great
Extremely well informed and a great storyteller. Brought things to life😊
Exceptional tour!
Mark’s enthusiasm to share so many details of the history of Tomar is exceptional, He walks you through town and then up to the castle, the entire time sharing historical events in an easy to understand manner. Always ready to take questions; the group walk is a comfortable dialogue. Highly recommend. He also offered dining recommendations which we followed and had two of the best meals since being in Portugal. We even suggested he should start a Tomar foodie tour. This is by far the best tour to learn about Tomar.
Mark was a fount of legends, history and myths that kept us entertained for nearly 3 hours .
Very knowledgeable and GREAT FUN!!
Wonderful!!!
We had an absolutely delightful tour of Tomar with Mark. He was loads of fun and loads of
information and really brought Tomar’s history alive for us. We can’t recommend him highly
enough!!
A Perfect Guide: Engagement, Knowledge, & Laughter
Mark turned what could have been a standard sightseeing walk into something memorable: something we’ll talk about long after the trip ends.
His engagement, delivery, knowledge, and sense of humour made our time there truly unforgettable.
Thank you again for sharing your passion, energy, and laughter with us, Mark. We won’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone visiting Tomar — you helped make our journey special.
Enthusiastic and Informative!
Mark was one of the most enthusiastic, entertaining and informative tour guides we've had.
Small group. Something for everyone. So well done.
