The Roman Empire had an enormous weight in our culture and the evidence of this can be found a bit everywhere in the Sicó area.

In this adventure we will start to discover the complex of the Roman Ruins of Conímbriga where you can contemplate the architectural capability of the Roman people and how they lived.

From here we will head towards another “ex-libris” of this region, the Casmilo Holes, majestic geological formations that were once complexes of underground caves that are now exposed to the surface.

All this and much more is what we will discover in this adventure...

Our visit to the Roman Ruins of Conimbriga and the Caves of Sico was wondeful! Sergio is an excellent guide and is very knowledgeable about the history and geography of the area. We learned so much about Roman history as well as findings related to other civilizations in the area. We would not have appreciated the ruins nearly as much exploring on our own. I highly recommend the tour with Sergio to understand the development of the Roman community at Conimbriga as well as the historical and current significance of the Caves of Sico. Thank you, Sergio, for a great afternoon!

This tour was amazing! It was the best tour we did while in Portugal! It ended up only being my boyfriend, myself, and our tour guide, Sérgio. The ruins are amazing and so well preserved! Sérgio was super knowledgeable and he made it such a great experience!

Sergio was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. He was happy to answer all our questions. We got to see some remote villages and out of the way spots. We are very happy to have chosen this tour. Thank you Sergio for a wonderful day.

Our tour guide, Sérgio, was amazing! We did a small group tour and since he picked us up on time, we were too early for entry to the ruins. Therefore, he took us on a short drive up through the hillside where we stopped to view a cave. The drive took us through a small village where we could get a sense of the lifestyle of those living there and saw several shepperds tending sheep; something I never expected to see! Sérgio's knowledge of the local area and the ruins was immense and he was able to answer all our questions. In addition, the ruins themselves includes almost no signage so without his vast knowledge, which he shared constantly as we walked through the space, the experience would have not been the same and would honestly have been much less impressive. We could tell he cares about his job as he made sure to be well read on the area and that we were getting the best experience possible. He even took pictures during the tour which he shared with us later. Went way above! I would go on another tour with him in a heartbeat!
Unique tour, fantastic host and guide

Was such a great tour just myself and husband went, but really relaxed pace, picked us up right at our accommodation. Sergio really loved showing us the natural cages on spectacular countryside. He brought us around Conimbraga, really brought it to life and then sent us loads of great photoes. Real pleasure and a really unique tour - can’t recommend highly enough

After walking the hills of Coimbra we decided a tour of the Roman ruins at Conímbriga would be a good change of pace. Sérgio picked us up right on time and we drove out to the site passing the pilgrims making their way to Fatima. He was able to share about that as well. The site is large and we would have missed a lot without the helpful information he provided. He was able to point out things we would have missed and provide interesting background information. I can highly recommend this walking tour and Sérgio. We also loved a day off from all the hills and stairs of Coimbra!

Sergio is such a personable and knowledgeable guide. He showed us many small details of things in the Roman ruins that we would not have noticed. He is well versed in the history of the Roman city. He sends you pictures that he took on the tour with you. It was such a great tour. We highly recommend it!!!
Perfect in every way!

Perfect tour- we were shocked by the vast amount of Roman ruins excavated & even more so to learn it's a tiny percentage of those known to be in the area! The Caves of Sicó were far more than we expected a truely magnificent wonder of nature. Sérgio was a brilliant guide with extensive knowledge who made my daughters 21st Birthday a day she'll always remember with fondness.
