Very informative tour. Definitely a must see in Coimbra. It is worth booking and seeing. My wife and I liked it. I wished I was a student at this university.
Great tour, great tour guide - learned so much about the rich history of Portugal and town of Coimbra
We had a fantastic guide (Bernardo was his name I think). As a graduate student of Coimbra University studying history he was both extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Coimbra and the history of Portugal. We learned so much in the couple of hours that we spent together. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Coimbra!
My wife and I had an excellent tour, given by our guide, Bernardo, who was exceedingly knowledgable and enthusiastic about, showing us around his university and town. Thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend it.
The insights provided by Joao, our expert guide, were the highlight of our visit. The University of Coimbra is quite impressive. Having an expert guide who was both an alumnus and a faculty member added so much to our experience.
It was wonderful. My guide gave lots of interesting details and due to the fact that it was the first visits on the morning, it was not full of tourists (like me) and so more pleasant (I recommend so 9:00 am). The university is beautiful and you must do it !
Joao was an excellent guide. He gave us a wealth of information and moved us effectively through the areas. He was most gracious and this tour was a highlight of our trip to
Portugal.
I have to confess that I am very picky in regards of tours and usually do not like to write reviews. But Renan exceeded my expectations. He was so knowledgeable , emotional in a good way, his passion to the history was so obvious and transparent that we simple fell in love in Coimbra. Highly highly recommend for the people who want to know more about the history , architecture, traditions and not only to perform a check mark.
Thank you very much!
It would have been better if the guide had a sign so I knew it was the tour guide. I could barely see his name tag under his coat. He was very knowledgeable.
