Wonderful experience. Well worth the money! The library was fantastic. He adjusted the tour to fit our timeline.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our tour of the University of Coimbra, as led by Joao. His having studied art history at the University, as well as being a native of Coimbra, made for a highly informative and enjoyable tour. When we asked him about fado and the differences of Coimbra-style fado from other styles, he gave an insightful explanation complete with a recording from his phone of Coimbra fado as performed at a “leave taking” ceremony for students graduating from the University. Highly recommended!

Great tour of the Coimbra University including the library. Very comprehensive for the amount of time but we did not feel at all rushed. We also very much enjoyed talking with João about the people and history of Portugal.

The insights provided by Joao, our expert guide, were the highlight of our visit. The University of Coimbra is quite impressive. Having an expert guide who was both an alumnus and a faculty member added so much to our experience.

My wife and I had an amazing visit to University of Coimbra and nearby downtown. Joao, our guide and graduate of Coimbra University, was super knowledgeable and very patiently answered all our questions with thoughful answers rooted in facts. Joao was also 'very organized' and knew how to keep us on schedule so we did not miss our important and 'tightly controlled' visit to the library. Of all the tours we took in Portugal during our September visit, this is the tour where we learned the most. I strongly recommend this tour and in particular their guide Joao....

It was great to learn about Coimbra history from a University of Coimbra educated guide. Pedro was articulate, knowledgeable, personable, and seemed pleased to answer our many questions.
