    We had a lovely time with Alfredo! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the Roman Ruins. He also ensured the hike was at a pace and difficulty that fit our group. We couldn’t recommend it more! Great way to get out of the city and out into nature.

    It had been raining and the guide's advice was that the trail would be slippery and involved some rock scrambles, so we decided to instead go to the RO, a museum dedicated to the ancient Roman presence in current-day Portugal. It serves as a great introduction to the Conimbriga ruins. If you're like me, the last time you studied Roman history in earnest was in secondary school, so it was a great refresher for my knowledge and it never ceases to be fascinating the technology and civil infrastructure that the Romans built and enjoyed, that was later lost to the world for centuries. After the museum, we explored Conimbriga and they surely must be some of the most well-preserved Roman ruins in all of Europe! It's in good enough shape to easily imagine yourself living there 2000 years ago. I probably still would have enjoyed hiking, rain or shine, but I appreciate the guide's flexibility and the tour was a great success by any measure.

    We had a brilliant morning hiking and viewing the Roman ruins at Conimbriga with Alfredo. We were picked up at our Airbnb in Coimbra, and driven around 20 mins to the start of the hike site. It was a beautiful morning and after a few days in Lisbon it was lovely to get outside for some fresh air. The hike is not too challenging but I'd still recommend decent footwear as some sections were a little slippery. The Roman ruins exceeded all expectations and were incredibly impressive. Alfredo gave us the history as we walked around and answered our questions as we went. Highly recommended.

    The hike was really beautiful, and the ruins (with excellent explanation by Alberto) were very interesting. (Note that the hike involved some scrambling, so it is not suitable for people with a lack of agility.)

    We enjoyed this tour. It was great to do a short hike in the countryside. Unfortunately the river was dry but the trail was still very enjoyable. The tour of the ruins was very good. Alfredo was very knowledgeable and provided great insight into the history of the ruins.Would recommend this tour to others .

    Museu Monografico de Conimbriga - Museu Nacional

    Inhabited since pre-Historic times, Conímbriga was occupied by Roman troops in 139 BC and it became the prosperous capital city of the Lusitania province. In the next century, during the reign of Emperor Augustus, the urban part of the city grew. It was during this period that some of the most important buildings for everyday life in a Roman city were build such as the forum, the amphitheatre and the thermal baths. Later, a three-nave basilica was built in the town’s centre. You can also visit the Museum where several rooms will take you to everyday life at this Roman city through objects discovered after many years of excavations, its religious life, architecture manor houses and their decoration and even life at the forum.
