コインブラの歴史ハイライト|2012年からエキスパートガイド

This was outstanding! So detailed and the guide was super knowledgeable. She went to this university so it made it very personal for her as well. She knew her history and interesting facts for the city as well as the university.

The tour conducted by Sara was excelent. Her historical knowledge was great and made it fun for about 2.5 hours. The tour started at one of the high points of the city, the university area, and slowly came downhill covering all the historical facts along the way. I would suggest getting a taxi to the start point to make the walk down to the river level a positive experience. Sara was great and the tour was also covered a huge range of history.

We were supposed to meet Sara Cruz on top of the hill in Coimbra, going down. However, the annual parade of the university happened to take place the same days, which was an exciting site in and of itself, but the road were blocked, so we could not get there by taxi. Instead, Sara came down to our hotel and we took the walking tour going up. It made it a bit more difficult, but Sara made it all worthwhile. With her vast knowledge and home-grown perspectives, her familiarity with the students' lives and culture, her lovely demeanor and sense of humor, she painted the place for in bright virtual colors, making it a very special experience. Thank you, Sara!

Fabiana gave us a tour around the main parts of the Baixa and Alta (except the cathedrals), and taught us many facts about the city of Coimbra that we didn't know, especially student and university related. We missed a bit more depth of the historical facts and general city history, and also felt the 2h guide could be more structured (I think we could have gone through the same amount of info in 30 minutes less). If they improve the historical depth of the tour, I would definitely increase the rating, as Fabiana was super friendly and nice, and it was great visiting the city with her.
