"Mateus was excellent!
He picked us up at our hotel on time, and took time to discuss what we might like to see in Coimbra.
As he was a student there, he was quite familiar with the history of the University. With each stop, he carefully took the time to inform us, not only about what we were seeing, but also about its history and evolution. His knowledge of Coimbra and the role that the University played was very impressive.
We never felt rushed, He was fun, comfortable to be with, and very attentive to answering any questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting him, and his tour of Coimbra. On our trip to Portugal, we had a number of guides, he was clearly exceptional, and one of the best guys we have ever had.
Thank You.

A++++ Exceptional tour with João
"We took the Highlights and Hidden Gems tour in Coimbra with João yesterday. He was extremely knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and was able to answer every question we threw at him - including many that were far afield from the sights of Coimbra. We chose João because we are a group of senior Jews, and we noticed that he also had a tour of Jewish Coimbra. When we asked him to show us a few places of Jewish interest, he cheerfully modified our tour according to our interests. He also checked frequently to make sure we were feeling up to another three flights of steps before proceeding (note to those new to Portugal - expect hills *everywhere*.) I can’t speak highly enough about both João and the tour itself. Highly recommended!"
"Mateus is an amazing and professional guide. He is extremely knowledgeable of Coimbra. My friend and I had a fantastic time exploring heritage sites as well as off the beaten track sites. I highly recommend Mateus as your Coimbra guide! "

Excellent Tour of Coimbra
"Joao was a terrific guide and very informative. We had ventured out on our own the day before but we experienced so much more on our tour with Joao. We also took him up on his recommendations for dining and Fado, both of which were excellent. Highly recommend! "
"Mateus made our custom tour of the university and Coimbra a perfect day. He is a beautiful storyteller, sharing history all along the way. Weaving in the past and present to bring this amazing location to life. He was a gift to connect with you easily making it feel like you have known him for years, becoming part of your family in a mere 3 hours. He communicated important information before and after our time with him. You will be grateful for the time you have spent with Matheus learning about Coimbra and Portugal history. "
"What a fun 4 hour stop in Coimbra that included a private tour with Mateus! Not only was he knowledgeable, personable, and passionate, but he excelled at reading his audience, tailoring both content and pace to meet our interests and schedule. We so enjoyed his many historical tales and facts as we toured the city, but also how he easily contrasted those with current events or conditions. And so many hidden gems…a personalized and exceptional tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great experience
"Highly recommend Joao. He was very friendly and knowledgeable as well as easy to work with. We enjoyed all that he had to share about Coimbra and the University. We had originally tried to book with Tiago who did not respond until several weeks after the inquiry with a decline the day before the tour date. Joao was empathic with my frustration and reassuring to make it a positive experience. "
