Best tour guide in Coimbra!

Our guide Renan was absolutely wonderful! He was very knowledgeable, funny, and did an excellent job keeping us engaged while we learned all about the history of Coimbra. We loved his passion for teaching and even told him he needs to be a professor. At the end of our tour Renan even suggested a nearby restaurant to us that was so delicious! We strongly recommend Renan. He was the best tour guide!!

He made the tour to the palace , university , library , multiple cathedrals and old town worse visiting. We learned a lot and because of him fell in love with the old city of Coimbra.
Highly recommend !!

This tour was great! Our tour guide (Renan Souza of "Walking Talking Coimbra") was fabulous and basically a walking encyclopedia of Portuguese history and so many details about Coimbra. We loved walking with him and hearing all the historical details. I am hesitant to spend much beyond an entry ticket in many cases, but this tour was worth every penny. The tour was the perfect way to spend our morning in Coimbra and I loved that it went beyond the university and throughout the city. He was even willing to recommend a local spot for lunch that we so enjoyed before heading on for the rest of our trip.
a lot of history lessons

Apesar de eu já conhecer os locais visitados, Renan, o guia, acrescentou uma profundidade que tornou tudo ainda mais interessante. O ritmo foi perfeito, nem lento nem apressado. Pude aproveitar cada minuto para aprender sobre História, artes e curiosidades. E ao saber do meu interesse por arte de rua, Renan saiu do percurso para me mostrar um mural que eu dificilmente encontraria por conta própria. Também destaco o profissionalismo de manter a excursão mesmo com apenas um participante.
Führung großartig.

Guía muy atento, considerado y simpático, con muchos conocimientos de la ciudad. Tiene en cuenta los/as intereses de los participantes por la ciudad, proporcionando información y mostrando los mismos, si es posible. La visita permite conocer lo principal de Coimbra y llevarte una perspectiva general de la ciudad bastante completa.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
