João was fantastic. Very informative and passionate about Coimbra! Walking was pretty much downhill all the way (take a Bolt or Uber up to the meeting place). Definitely recommended!
Thank you. I'am very happy that you enjoyed the tour! All the best! :)
Joao gave us a very interesting 3-hours tour. He has a great knowledge of history and he also made the tour very enjoyable with fun facts about Coimbra and the actual situation in Potugal. (Mentioning how is life im Coimbra, what are the university students’ special ceremonies etc) It was really worth it!
Thank you! I'am happy that you liked the tour
