A Fabulous Tour. We Loved Every Minute.

5.00Yesterday we went with Alfredo to Conímbriga, the ruins of a Roman city outside of Coimbra, Portugal. It was a fabulous tour. Alfredo took us to a local museum about Roman life before we went to the ruins which gave us a much better awareness of what we would be seeing in the context of Roman daily life. He then took us to the ruins and answered all our questions as we walked all over the ruins. I really appreciated the relaxed pace he set, his in depth knowledge and his interesting stories. We ended the tour with a visit to the Conímbriga ruins museum, and finally at the artesian spring which fed the aquaduct to the city. Our 4 hour tour was so much more interesting than we had expected. I recommend it whole heartedly to everyone.

5.00Excellent tour with an informative and helpful guide. Conimbriga is well worth seeing. My trip also included a stop at the nearby springs that are a primary water source for the aquaduct that supplied the Roman settlements. Highly recommended!

5.00Tour was small and the guide (Alfredo) was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our family of four comprised the whole tour so we were able to go at our own speed the whole time. Tour includes two small archeological museums in addition to the Conímbriga Roman ruins. Be aware that you have to pay separate museum admissions. We thought the trip was totally worth it.
Well-preserved ruins

5.00Fantastic tour of the countryside around Coimbra! It was very peaceful. The ruins themselves are great: they’re very well preserved. Excellent use of a morning and our guide was wonderful.
