Without a doubt, the highlight of our Portugal trip was a full afternoon tour of Coimbra University, and its hidden gems from the top of the hill, all the way down to the Mondega river. Our family of 4 was so lucky to have a private tour with the absolute, best guide in Coimbra--Mateus! He is one of the friendliest, most knowledgeable, and accommodating guides we've ever had. He is a great communicator, fluent in English. He's also an upper-level student at Coimbra University, majoring in computer science...so he was able to share unique insights about university's history, programs and traditions.
We would highly recommend Mateus to anyone interested in learning about Portugal's rich history/culture! It truly was an unforgettable experience!!!
Many, many thanks Mateus!

Excellent tour with Mateus
Mateus was an excellent tour guide, prompt, cheerful, good command of English and Coimbra. Happy to oblige us with any special request, take pictures, spend extra time more than expected. Highly recommended.
difficult to do the price value rating, as it was worth it. What does that mean? 5 out of 10 average, or meets expectation ? 10 out of 10? I don't know. Main thing we were very satisfied with the tour.
