We learned about the many centuries of peace between the major religious groups in early Coimbra, the history of the Kings, through the period of the Inquisition, and into modern times of independence. João was absolutely the best host!  He has a Masters Degree in Anthropology from the University of Coimbra and is so very knowledgeable.  Most of all João's engaging personality made the tour through the beautiful old city of Coimbra the most enjoyable time of our five day holiday in Coimbra.  João answered all of our many questions, and tailored the tour to just what we wanted.  It was the ultimate interactive tour.
