Mafra library bats night tour

I recently listened to a podcast on Atlas Obscura about the Mafra library bats. At the end of the show she briefly mentions night tours available where they give you headlamps and you can explore the grounds and see the bats flying in and out of the library, but I can't find anything about this anywhere online. Does anyone have information on this? It sounds like such an amazing and unique experience!

If there is such a tour (and I heard nothing about it when touring Mafra), it should be on the Mafra Palace website. It’s very worth taking a tour of the Palace even if it’s in the daytime.
