Our guide and story teller, John (in English) was informative and knowledgeable, The walk starts at the top with lovely views and is an easy walk down hill into the old city. I highly recommend this experience to capture the uniqueness of Coimbra.

Our guide was Filipe, who was very knowledgeable and gave us an interesting overview of the history of the city, the university, its relation to the city and customs. We covered both cathedrals, the city walls and the Santa Cruz church. Also the group was very small - it was just us!

The tour was incredible, very enriching to hear stories that you never heard speaking in front of such ancient monuments that tell the history not only of the city, but also of a whole continent. The knowledge of the guide Renan is amazing, in addition to being light and pleasant. Thank you very much.
