Free walking tours in Coimbra

¡Increíble tour! ✨ Mi novio y yo habíamos ido a Coímbra sólo por unas horas sin saber qué esperar, pero Roger, apasionado por su trabajo, además de contarnos y guiarnos por lo imprescindible de la ciudad, nos hizo querer regresar a conocer más. Superinteresante toda la información histórica, datos curiosos, leyendas y recomendaciones, junto con una personalidad y sentido del humor muy agradables. Genuinamente uno de los mejores tours que he tomado. El grupo reducido dio más tiempo a hacer preguntas y mirar las cosas con un poco más de calma que en otros tours con grupos más numerosos. Recomiendo ampliamente reservar con él. ☺️

un guía apasionado por toda la buena dedicación y onda. buena predisposición y muy simpático

Would definitely recommend this tour with Igor. He pointed out many small easily missed details, gave everything personality, and gave good explanations of historical legends and events. It was very rainy during my tour, so I was the only one in attendance, but that didn’t stop Igor from giving the whole tour with as much vigour as on a sunny day. Very educational and fun.

Aunque el clima no fue el mejor y nos tocó lluvia, nuestro guía fue increíble. Siempre mantuvo una actitud positiva, explicó todo con entusiasmo y logró que el recorrido fuera muy agradable. A pesar del frío y la lluvia, disfrutamos mucho la experiencia. Se nota que le apasiona lo que hace. ¡Muchas gracias!

Great guide, very knowlegeable and pleasant. Roger gave us great recommendations. Highly recommended!

Excelente!! Un tour 5 ⭐️ Roger sabe muchísimo, podríamos estar todo el día caminando y que nos cuente todas sus historias! Lo hace súper ameno y le pone toda la pasión!!! 100% recomendable

Weather was bad and I was expecting tour guide to cancel the free walk. Igor turned up happy n chirpy. It brightens our tour. Thk u v m.

Igor foi muito profissional, atento, demonstrou muito bom humor e foi muito flexível com relação aos nossos pedidos. Conhece bastante da história e compartilha fatos interessantes. Foi excelente!

Roger is a passionate, kind and a very knowledgeable guide. You can rest assured that you will get the best tour of Coimbra along with dramatic depictions of the important historical events and also learn about university traditions and Fado music. The restaurants Roger recommended were also top-notch in food quality and hospitality. I highly recommend it!

Roger was absolutely fantastic. I got so lucky that the other people who were supposed to be in the tour with me canceled, so I got a private experience. Roger was so knowledgeable and so nice, truly one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. We talked about a plethora of topics and he made the history of Coimbra really come alive in the streets as we were walking them. I truly recommend anybody looking for a tour in this city to book with Roger. He will take care of you from start to finish.

Siamo stati contattati poi dalla compagnia e abbiamo svolto un tour al pomeriggio. Che è andato bene.

Igor is a curious, flexible and genuinely friendly person. Thanks to the tour, I have discovered fascinating historical facts, interesting details and lovely anecdotes about Coimbra. I would recommend this tour to everyone 😊 Muito obrigada pelo passeio!!

Roger es un guía excelente, muy conocedor de la historia de Coimbra y de Portugal. Explicaciones amenas, graciosas y apasionadas. En definitiva, un guía genial.

Roger is a fantastic guide: mixed history, knowledge, and entertainment while keeping energy high. I definitely recommend !

Igor foi incrível! O tour foi feito como se fôssemos amigos há anos. Ele tornou tudo interessante fazendo perguntas sobre observações que eu podia ir fazendo ao longo do caminho. Ele busca integrar as informações turísticas aos aspectos humanos da cidade e da própria dinâmica do diálogo do tour. Ahazô, Igor!

Muy buena visita! Totalmente recomendable para conocer la historia de esta maravillosa ciudad. Gracias!

Roger es muy entusiasta contando la historia y peculiaridades de los lugares visitados. Habla buen inglés. En general un tour divertido. Roger también contestó mis preguntas e hizo sugerencias. Recomendado.

Fue una experiencia muy positiva. La guía genial!!!

J'avais beaucoup appris, que des belles découvertes à Coimbra.

I arrived in Coimbra without many expectations, but this walking tour turned out to be a great surprise. Since there were no other participants, the tour became a private experience, which made it even more engaging and enjoyable. The tour was guided by Igor, who walked me through the city’s history from its early foundations to more modern times, taking us through historic streets and gardens that really help you understand the character of Coimbra. As a Harry Potter fan, I found it especially interesting how many of the stories, traditions, and the academic atmosphere made strong connections to the kind of fantasy world J.K. Rowling later brought to life. Several moments and locations genuinely felt like they could have inspired that universe. Overall, the tour was well-paced, informative, and different from a typical walking tour. It gave me a much deeper appreciation of Coimbra and made the city far more memorable than I initially expected. Definitely worth doing if you want history, context, and a touch of magic.

Estuvo interesante, divertido. La verdad la pase genial y Fernanda fue excelente!!!! Altamente recomendado.

José was an amazing guide for our tour. He is really nice, so you are confortable since the beginning. He speaks a really good English, and always try his best to understand your questions. We did a Coimbra tour, and it was nice to see the Tourist Spots, but also some hidden places. We learnt a lot about the traditions of the scholars here. José helped us to take photos, and he give us some jokes. After the tour, he also give us more recommendations in the city, like restaurants, where to take a good coffee to hear fado,... It was one of my favorite tour ever!

Hicimos el tour mi suegra, mi esposo y yo. A mi suegra las subidas le cuestan un poco, pero María, nuestra guía, tuvo muchísima paciencia con nosotros. Lo pasamos muy bien y disfrutamos mucho de la ciudad, que es hermosísima. Sin duda volveremos a visitar Coimbra.

João provided a top notch tour of the city, giving you all the information you need to be familiar with its history, culture and its people. Totally recommended!

Gracias, João, por mostrarnos Coimbra con tanta pasión y cercanía. No solo aprendimos historia, sino que sentimos la ciudad a través de tus explicaciones. Un guía extraordinario.
