Uncover the best of University of Coimbra the local Way

"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."

"Mateus was a fantastic guide. As a university student in Coimbra he knew a lot about the history ancd the funky places. His Englis was A +++ Wpuld highly recommend him for your Coimbra tour. "

"We were in Coimbra for only one day and wanted to make the most of our visit. Mateus had great knowledge of everything in the city and even adapted our tour around an appointment at the library. He was an amazing guide and I recommend his tour to everyone! "

"My wife and I had a great time with Mateus. He was very knowledgeable about the area and places we visited along with what to do on our own. We were grateful to spend the time with him and share our experiences with traveling the world with him. At over twice his age it was great to discuss what his future travel life may hold. Coimbra is a great city. Battling a bit of rain but one just needs a proper outfit to still enjoy the day. I asked if Mateus could provide us a couple of umbrellas and he was able to do so. We also took a nice break with him at a local cafe. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mateus to others. "

"Our tour with Mateus was terrific! He was charming, friendly, and highly knowledgeable about this beautiful city. Mateus really made Coimbra come alive for us. We can’t recommend a tour with him highly enough. "

"If you really want to see Coimbra,book a tour with Withlocals and ask for Mateus as your guide!"

"Our walking tour around Coimbra with João was exactly what we hoped it would be. He gave us a great foundation from which we could (and did) explore on our own. Coimbra is a fascinating place but the terrain, with its many hills and winding narrow streets, requires an expert to decipher. We really enjoyed learning the secrets of Coimbra from João, then we were most appreciative of his knowledge when we struck out on our own. Thank you, João for a wonderful memory of Coimbra! "

"Great tour with the excellent Mateus. One of our best tours. Very obliging and patient. Also very informative and full of useful recommendations. Can't recommend enough. Many thanks Mateus!"

"We had a truly wonderful day with Gustavo. It the highlight of our visit to Porto. He drove us to Coimbra, Aveiro, Costa Nova, and was knowledgable and helpful in every way. He really goes the extra mile to make your visit meaningful and enjoyable. He took us to lunch to eat roast suckling pig at a restaurant he has been frequenting as a child. It was our favorite meal of our trip to Portugal. He also recommended a wonderful fish restaurant for dinner where we ate a fantastic grilled seabass and sardines -- with no other tourists there -- just locals. I would not hesitate to call Gustavo the next time we are in Porto."

"Mateus did guide us through the old part of Coimbra, explaining the history of the University campus, churches and much more. Thanks a lot for your nice and open style."
