Jewish Tour of Coimbra
"Although there is very little remaining , physically, of the Jewish community and life in Coimbra, João brought a wealth of knowledge and charm to bring the history back to life and his anthropological perspective of the history of this town with particular interest in the inquisition was both harrowing and fascinating. "
"Joao was communicative and precise before the tour. We met and he started sharing great info right from the start. We had a 2 hour tour that went by quickly and was filled with great, local info that was current, and all the history as well. Highly recommend. "
"We got so much out of our tour with Joao. We knew very little about Coimbre when we arrived and finished this very informative tour with Joao with knowledge about the amazing history particularly around the university which is so central to this city. Joao is knowledgeable and friendly and a great guide to a wonderful town full of history and culture. Thanks for a wonderful tour Joao we enjoyed it very much. "
"Mateus was a great guide. He is a student at the University so was able to share his knowledge of the student life and traditions. He was very considerate and we enjoyed our time with him very much. "
"We had a really informative and enjoyable 3 hour historical tour of Coimbra in the company of Joao. It rained for most of the time but the interest he engendered very much countered any concerns of getting wet. We explored old Coimbra via its many narrow steep streets and discovered all sorts of things we wouldn’t have been aware of but for him. He also pointed out some great restaurants and local shops some which we revisited the following day. We would definitely recommend booking a tour with Joao to ensure you make the most of your visit to Coimbra. "
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Coimbra with Mateus! He was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun to spend the morning with. We highly recommend him."
"We had a great time with Mateus, although still a student his historical knowledge and enthusiasm were great. Just as labelled, a great way to understand the City. Mateus’ English was great and his storytelling was excellent. Brilliant tour. "
