"João spent several hours leading us through important moments in the Jewish history of Coimbra. He was knowledgeable and very happy to answer questions. We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed his commentary. "

"My wife and I only had a short time in Coimbra. We decided to take the “Hidden Gems” tour with João. It was a great experience, time well spent. He not only delved into older history of the regions (e.g., some of the first kings) but also about more recent history (e.g., the construction of the new schools/faculties at the University). We got a good feel for the downtown area by visiting a few churches, walking up to the University and back down via the botanical gardens. João also made suggestions as to where to eat some local foods and try some local beers. He helped us make the most of our limited time in Coimbra. "

"Daniel made us feel comfortable right away. He took us on a 3 hour walking route through Coimbra that revealed more than just the tourist sites. We saw the old market, residential areas, the Roman aqueduct and University Botanical Gardens entrance. Throughout the tour he gave us interesting insights and information."

"Made a last minute booking for a walking tour of Coimbra with Mateus. SO HAPPY I DID! This was the perfect way to get oriented to the city, with a warm, knowledgeable, and thoroughly engaged guide. Mateus is a wealth of knowledge about the history of the city and the university. His commentary added so much more depth to our walk than we could have possibly learned on our own. This is the perfect choice for your first day in Coimbra, and is money so well spent. Mateus treated us like valued friends for whom he was responsible for welcoming to his city. His enthusiasm for guiding and his love for Coimbra was a delight. Thank you, Mateus, for a memorable experience. A highlight of our entire trip to Portugal. "

"Mateus is a fantastic guide. He is enthusiastic- both about Coimbra and the way he relates his knowledge of Coimbra. Mateus also asked us questions about our interests and made sure that he passed on tips about those interests like the best Fado bars. We had a lovely tour with Mateus and we couldn’t be more pleased with our tour."

"Thank you, for a fabulous morning. Mateus was engaging and informative. He made the morning interesting and he was very knowledgeable. He had a lovely nature and genuine enthusiasm for life . Highly recommended "

"Before the tour, Mateus kept in touch and on the morning of the tour itself! He arrived on time for the visit and in his company, you immediately felt at ease. He is very knowledgeable about Coimbra and its University. Since he is currently studying there, you get to know about student life today as much as you do about the traditions of the past. His English is impeccable and he paces the tour, so that you do not feel rushed. One of the most interesting parts for me, was learning about the history of the Royal House in Portugal. Truly, a discovery. "

"Mateus was a wonderful, very friendly guide who shared with us his real life experiences of being a student at the university. His English was impeccable and he had such incredible knowledge of the history of both the university and the city. This experience compliment the separate tour we did in the afternoon of the internal historical rooms of the university. High recommend booking this tour with Mateus!"

"Mateus was delightful. He always made sure we were comfortable, even offering sunscreen and an umbrella on our very warm day. His knowledge of Coimbra’s history was well beyond his years. I felt sad to say goodbye!"

"Matheus was an absolutly excellent guide and I couldn’t fault the attention, Service and information that he imparted. He was punctual and waiting at the meeting place with an enthusiastic and cheerful greeting He then took the group all around the town taking in the historic monuments and telling us about the history on the interesting aspects of Coimbra. He made interesting recommendations about places to eat and introduced me to a fantastic coffee shop for coffee and local pastries. I would absolutely recommend Matheus to anyone else visiting Coimbra. "
