Important message from the supplier
My tours are walking tours. Tours in Coimbra start in Coimbra (although we can arrange to meet you at your hotel in Coimbra if you are staying in the city center, if that is more convenient for you). For tours outside Coimbra, if you need help, I can help you get to your destination. Usually, the meeting point will be at the location specified in the tour, but I can guide you in Conimbriga, Figueira da Foz, if you can kindly pay my transportation fee.

About Tour Guide Joao M.
Hello, I'm João. I was born in Coimbra, and I have a degree in Anthropology, and master's degree in Cultural heritage, management and programming. I am a certified guide. I love meeting new people and helping them get to know my country better. If you enjoy history and want to learn more about our culture and traditions, I think my tours are the best choice for you. I work mainly in the city of Coimbra, and around. I am based in Coimbra region, but I am also available for tours in Lisbon, Aveiro, or Porto. I will be happily suggesting you a full customized tour in these 3 cities. Please send me a request, just customize your request.
This is just a suggestion, but If you are very interested in history and would like to take an original tour in Lisbon, we can visit various archaeological sites in Lisbon (such as Roman cisterns, city walls, and Iron Age neighborhoods), sometimes walking through unexpected places, such as shopping malls or under hotels, banks, churches, and even bathrooms (public, clean)... History is where you least expect it.
Thank you!
