Coimbra Unraveled

Published on Nov, 2024

Anna Paulina was a font of information and a accommodating and pleasant tour guide. We saw some of the best of Coimbra and the history that went with it, as well as, explanations of Coimbra U customs.

The perfect way to start or end your visit to Coimbra. You will learn so much and enjoy the process!

Ana Paula is truly an exceptional guide and human who has a deep knowledge of Portuguese history and takes great pride in her work. In the hours we spent with her, we learned so much about the history of Coimbra and Portugal (and local sites and wine!), got all of our questions answered, and felt like we made a new friend! On the practical side, the advance communication was great and it was wonderful to easily gain admission to the major historical sites of this fascinating city.

A great experience

The guide was very knowledgeable and also very empathic--I was feeling ill that day and she made sure to find places where I could sit down. I learned so much history and details about Coimbra I wouldn't have learned elsewhere.

Wonderful experience !

Ana Paula was very sweet and knowledgable. She took her time to explain and answer any questions we had. Her facts and town stories made it even more enjoyable. Recommended many restaurantes and activities along the way. The tour of the university and its library were fascinating as was the monastery of Santa Cruz.
