Tour description

Experience the real Coimbra with a local guide in a small group (max 5 people).

This walking tour shows you the essential highlights of Coimbra in a relaxed, authentic, and personal way — not as a history lecture, but as a meaningful experience.
You’ll explore the historic center, the famous University of Coimbra, charming streets, hidden corners, scenic viewpoints, and places most visitors would never find alone. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about student life, traditions, local culture, and what it’s truly like to live here.
I was born and studied in Coimbra, and after traveling to more than 50 countries, I created the kind of tour I would personally love to join as a traveler: friendly, flexible, and never rushed.
There is plenty of time to stop, take photos, ask questions, and enjoy each place. The small group size makes it easy to connect, move comfortably, and adapt the experience to you.
This is perfect for travelers who want to discover Coimbra beyond guidebooks — through real stories, local insight, and genuine connection.
By the end of the tour, you’ll not only see Coimbra — you’ll feel it.
