Renan was amazing. His enthusiasm was contagious. And his knowledge was extensive. Couldn't recommend him anymore highly.

Michael_W

A good and informative tour led by a current History student (Bernardo) who explained matters clearly and reasonably accurately. My one suggestion is that he could have pointed out the existence of information sheets in different languages, since some French members of our group did not understand much English.

We were guided through Coimbra University by Bernardo, a Master’s student at the university. His enthusiasm and the clarity of his explanations of the history of the university and of the related political and social issues were most appreciated. This tour should not be missed!

Anna_L

If you're making a stop in Coimbra, I highly recommend this tour! We learned so much about the University as well as Portuguese government, architecture, literature and culture during this tour. Our tour guide (Renan) was the MOST enthusiastic history buff I have ever encountered. He had us laughing often and left us with many memorable facts. The library is 100% worth it, but note that you cannot take any pictures while inside. The tour was the perfect length; we were excited to explore the rest of Coimbra by the time the tour wrapped up. Make sure to bring your own water!

For many years I had wanted to visit Coimbra University and this tour, with my husband, didn’t disappoint. Our guide, Renan, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. I can highly recommend this tour.

Wendy_E

Our tour guide was excellent. He was very personable and knowledgeable. He spoke very good English. He was a student of the university and was getting a history major. The meeting point was easy to get to and the tour started on time. There was 6 in our group - which was a nice size. The tour of the university was interesting and it was definitely worth seeing.
