Renan was a fantastic guide! He is very knowledgeable and can recall seemingly endless historical information. There wasn’t a question asked that he didn’t have an in-depth answer for. He made the history of the University far more interesting than we expected it to be. The library is mystifying. I definitely recommend this tour because you will get so much more out of your visit to Coimbra.

This tour was two hours filled with interesting information, trivia, and incredible rooms at the University. Besides seeing the Library, we also saw a lot of the Royal Palace. Filipe was one of the best tour guides I have had. His English was so good and his attitude and attentiveness were noteworthy. Thank you!

Easy to arrange on-line. Our guide, Filipe, was very knowledgeable, and presented information in an engaging manner. He made use of earbuds so easy to hear. Movement around the grounds and into various buildings was fluid. Enjoyed quick entrance to library and chapel.
