Our guide Bruno was enthusiast of his city. He dinamically and professionally explained in details the history of the university. Even if it was not possible to visit the library, as both my husband and myself are graduated in chemistry at Padua, he was able to include the visit to the old chemistry laboratory. Beautiful! Thanks Bruno.
Thank you so much for your review. We also do tours in Tomar and Évora. We wish you the best.
Great experience! Really worth it. Bruno was an excellent guide, with a lot of knowledge and led us to visit Coimbra and the University in a unique way. We will definitely try the other options of this company. I highly recommend.

Incredible tour, we visited everything and it was a wonderful cultural experience, I am not interested in history, but the architecture and the way the guide spoke left me quite curious, I loved it, I would repeat 1000 times!!
