We had a tour with João and went way better than expected. João covered many topics, answered all our questions and I can’t think of a better way to learn about a place than from a local. I highly recommend him!

João was prompt and easily located in the meeting location in Coimbra. He allowed time for stragglers and began the uphill tour with three of us. He provided some good restaurant recommendations along the way. He also provided some interesting insight about the student culture of Coimbra.
Unfortunately, the tour progressed more slowly than anyone in the group wanted. There were also long periods of standing around without discussion. Also, with this small group, there was one attendee who decided she liked talking more than listening to the guide, and the guide let her talk and talk.
I think this tour might be better as a brief 1 to 1-1/2 hour walking tour.
