"Daniel made us feel comfortable right away. He took us on a 3 hour walking route through Coimbra that revealed more than just the tourist sites. We saw the old market, residential areas, the Roman aqueduct and University Botanical Gardens entrance. Throughout the tour he gave us interesting insights and information."

"Made a last minute booking for a walking tour of Coimbra with Mateus. SO HAPPY I DID! This was the perfect way to get oriented to the city, with a warm, knowledgeable, and thoroughly engaged guide. Mateus is a wealth of knowledge about the history of the city and the university. His commentary added so much more depth to our walk than we could have possibly learned on our own. This is the perfect choice for your first day in Coimbra, and is money so well spent. Mateus treated us like valued friends for whom he was responsible for welcoming to his city. His enthusiasm for guiding and his love for Coimbra was a delight. Thank you, Mateus, for a memorable experience. A highlight of our entire trip to Portugal. "

"Spending the afternoon with Mateus was an absolute pleasure. He’s not only deeply knowledgeable about Coimbra but also has a wonderful way of connecting history with personal stories and lived experience. We especially loved hearing about his own time as a student here — it gave the city such a vivid, human touch. Mateus was attentive to all our questions and made the tour feel entirely our own. On top of that, he’s simply a lovely person to be around: thoughtful, engaging, and genuine. We see a bright future ahead of him and wish him all the best, both professionally and personally. Wholeheartedly recommended!"

"We had a great tour with Mateus. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and responded to our questions and interests. It is great he is a student as this provides a different perspective. Cannot recommend him more highly. "
