It’s a MUST! You can miss almost everything in this quaint Little city without a guide. She was very knowledgeable

June_B

Guide was late to meet us. She advised us to buy our tickets for the library when we booked our tour a month ago but she didn’t get a ticket for herself and was sold out for the day of. We had to go by ourselves into the library and then we sat on a bench with her after to explain what we saw. Also, the tour doesn’t tell you the library is a 30 minute walk up steep hills from the meeting point. This tour was run very poorly compared to other Viator tours. She had a rushed attitude and was upset about how crowded everything was. Very disappointed!

Our tour was great! Anna Paula was a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable and her passion for Coimbra comes through clearly. We loved Anna Paula’s presentation of history and her great sense of humor! I will recommend her to my friends!

We met Ana at 10.30am in the centre of Coimbra, and were taken on an epic excursion by the best personal tour guide. Ana went above and beyond in explaining the history of Coimbra in a way that engaged us fully. Even the inclement weather didn't dampen our tour. Thank you Ana :)

Ana was very informative and we enjoy her. Lots of steps but we took the elevator and that helped a lot. Be sure to get round trip tickets

Ana was a terrific guide! I so much enjoyed my time with her, as she made each site in the tour come alive for me. Her command of the history and architectural details is wonderful! I highly recommend this experience and look forward to seeing Ana in the near future.
