Itinerary
Day 1
Private pickup in Lisbon, comfortable drive to Tomar, visit Convento de Cristo and the historic centre, relaxed lunch and riverside walk, then return to Lisbon. Timing is paced for seniors with short walking segments and regular rest.
Meeting & pickup — Lisbon address (driver contact)
Meet your driver at the confirmed pickup address. Driver will assist with luggage and can arrange a gentle escort to the vehicle. Please have your phone on so the driver can contact you if needed.
Tips from local experts:
- Accessibility: confirm elevator or step-free access at your pickup building in advance; if there are stairs, the driver will meet you at the ground-floor entrance.
- Pack a small day bag with any medications and water within easy reach — the driver can place larger suitcases in the boot.
- Driver contact: keep your phone charged. The operator typically calls 30–60 minutes before pickup to confirm exact meeting time.
Drive: Lisbon → Tomar (private)
Comfortable private drive to Tomar in an air-conditioned vehicle with Wi‑Fi. The driver will plan the smoothest route and can stop for a restroom/comfort break on request.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a short comfort stop about halfway for leg stretches and restroom use — the driver will pick an accessible service area with seating.
- If you prefer to travel without sharp sunlight on one side, ask the driver to adjust seating or window shades for comfort.
- Motion-sickness: sit in the front passenger seat if you are prone to travel discomfort; the driver will be happy to accommodate.
Visit Convento de Cristo (Convent of Christ) — accessible touring
Gentle, senior-friendly visit to Convento de Cristo — main cloisters and Manueline window. Short, easy routes highlighted; benches located in courtyard areas for rests. Driver will park nearby and wait or return later as agreed.
Tips from local experts:
- Accessibility: the Convent has some uneven stone floors and steps; bring comfortable, non-slip shoes and use the courtyard benches for brief rests.
- Timing: arrive early to avoid the mid-morning crowds and let staff know you’d like a slower-paced route; many areas have seated viewpoints for rest.
- Facilities: public toilets are available near the entrance; confirm the nearest accessible restroom on arrival.
Lunch in Tomar historic centre — relaxed meal
Leisurely lunch in Tomar's historic centre. Driver can recommend and take you to a nearby senior-friendly restaurant with comfortable seating and a calm atmosphere (you may ask for low-step entrance).
Tips from local experts:
- Request a table with comfortable chairs and minimal steps when you arrive — many central restaurants are happy to help for mobility needs.
- Try regional specialities (mild options available) — ask for smaller portions or a half-portion if you prefer lighter meals.
- If you have dietary restrictions, mention them when the driver makes the reservation; most local restaurants are accommodating with notice.
Stroll & light cultural stop: Sinagoga de Tomar (Luso-Hebraic Museum) & Nabão riverside
Short, flat stroll through the historic streets to the 14th-century synagogue (now Museu Luso-Hebraico) and along the Nabão riverfront — easy-paced with seating and frequent shade.
Tips from local experts:
- Route: request the easiest, step-free route from the driver; the synagogue and riverside paths are close together with short walking distances.
- Seating: benches line the riverfront; plan a relaxed stop to enjoy the scenery rather than a long walking circuit.
- Museum access: the synagogue museum is compact — visit the main exhibition and use the benches inside if you need a rest; check for reduced-mobility entrance info at the ticket desk.
Tea / gentle break at the riverfront (Cais do Nabão)
Sit-down tea or coffee at a calm riverside café, ideal for resting before the return journey. The driver will park close-by and assist with any steps.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for a seat with back support and minimal foot traffic for a quiet rest.
- If you use a cane or walker, request a table closest to the entrance so you minimise steps.
- Hydration: have water and a light snack here before travelling back — small cafés can prepare simpler, easy-to-eat options.
Drive: Tomar → Lisbon (private return)
Comfortable private return drive to Lisbon. Driver will plan a scenic yet smooth route and can stop for a comfort break if needed.
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer to avoid late-afternoon traffic, request an earlier return; this plan aims to avoid peak rush-hour in Lisbon.
- Seat choice matters: reserve the front passenger seat for easier disembarkation and smoother ride if you need it.
- Stretching: ask the driver for a 10-minute stop halfway for gentle leg stretches to reduce stiffness before arriving back in Lisbon.
Drop-off & goodbye — return to Lisbon meeting point
Driver drops you back at the original pickup address (or another agreed Lisbon address). Driver will assist with luggage and escort to the door if required.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your preferred drop-off door or reception point in advance to make the final steps easy and short.
- If you need assistance carrying luggage upstairs, request this when booking — drivers are usually happy to help within safety limits.
- Keep the driver's contact until the booking is complete in case of any after-service questions or lost items.
