I wanted to write and say what a fabulous job Ines did in difficult conditions on our Coimbra tour. In the worst weather possible for a walking tour, she kept us engaged in the review of Coimbra’s historical highlights. Her detailed knowledge of the city’s history and culture was impressive and resulted in a successful tour despite the inclement weather. We appreciate her attitude, style and uncompromising standards to make our tour memorable. We highly recommend her and this tour!
Thank you so luch for your feedback. I am glad you had a great time despite the rain. Obrigada Inês
