We had such a wonderful experience walking and chatting with João on the walk With Locals Historic Jewish Walking Tour of Coimbra! We learned about the many centuries of peace between the major religious groups in early Coimbra, the history of the Kings, through the period of the Inquisition, and into modern times of independence. João was absolutely the best host! He has a Masters Degree in Anthropology from the University of Coimbra and is so very knowledgeable. Most of all João's engaging personality made the tour through the beautiful old city of Coimbra the most enjoyable time of our five day holiday in Coimbra. João answered all of our many questions, and tailored the tour to just what we wanted. It was the ultimate interactive tour. He made it seem like we were visiting the city with a friend. Hire a friend for your next tour; hire João of Coimbra! Obrigado! Robert & Deborah
Joao what was a very impressive young man, with amazing knowledge of the history of the Jewish people in Coimbra. he loved his city and made sure that we got the full benefit of his knowledge with regard to all the important locations and information relative to the tour. we never felt rushed during the tour. in addition to the Jewish history of Coimbra, Joao also provided us with lots of local knowledge about the city and the university of Coimbra, which he attended. all in all, Joao was an excellent tour guide.
We recommend Joao highly! His extensive knowledge of the Roman Ruins at Conimbriga is full and compelling. He is kind and flexible and speaks excellent English.
Joao was very knowledgeable about both Jewish history and the general history of Coimbra. He patiently answered all my questions and made the history of the Jewish community of Coimbra come alive.
