Amazing site and excellent guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Eva was wonderful. As a former student she was very knowledgable and had fun insights into the traditions and history of the university. And you could tell she really enjoyed sharing her knowledge. The tour was excellent.

Wonderful tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour guide, very knowledgeable about the university and area. Nice stories that made the history come alive. Accommodated my elderly mother in her tour. Great experience and must not miss.

Perfect bite-sized highlights of Coimbra University

Published on Nov, 2024

Our friendly and knowledgeable guide had done both her undergraduate and graduate work at Coimbra University. It was clear she knew the place in minute detail, and she was able to answer questions and tell stories about anything we asked, from academic practices to details of the restoration work. She was considerate of the fact that some in our party had limited mobility, and that all of us had older knees than she did! (There are several flights of stairs involved. Good handrails and nothing you need to be in great shape for, but enough to notice.) The tour guide dealt seamlessly with all the necessary tickets. We saw impressive ancient academic rooms that are still in use, the chapel, and the library, all in a little over an hour. It was perfect for our energy level and time budget. The only downside is not the tour's fault: parking anywhere near the top of the hill in Coimbra seems to be a nightmare.

Fabulous. Great guide and very interesting subject matter.

Published on Nov, 2024

Loved our guide, Eva, who shared her incredible knowledge about Coimbra University and the Joanine Library and her personal history of having been a student at Coimbra University.
