Our guide Ana Paula was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend time with. We learned so much and could not have had the same experience on our own without her history and stories. We would highly recommend this walking tour.
Thank you Wenfy for you great feedback! It is due to guiding guests like you that this tour is turning into a success! You're the best!
Our guide Ana Paula was super well organized. She was able to adapt and spoke to us in French according to our needs. It is a person filled with knowledge and who only seeks to make us discover them. To do absolutely.
Anna was knowledgeable, friendly and fun! I would definitely recommend her as a Tour Guide in Coimbra.

Thank you so much for your feedback Steve! I'm so glad to know you really liked your tour with me! I was blessed to be your tour guide, because you both were one of the best couples I trully enjoyed to be with! You're the best!
Excellent guide but charge by TripAdvisor was too much. In the future I will work harder to find local tour guides without paying 100% overhead to Trip Advisor
Hi Lorraine! Thank you so much for your feedback! It was a real pleasure to meet you both and show you Coimbra! I agree! The cost of private guided tours on OTAs is now a bit high, but there is always the possibility of booking directly with the tour providers if you know how to do it! I am truly sorry for the situation!
Anna is a wonderful guide who just grows on you. She has so much knowledge to share and we appreciate her candour and humour.
