Renan is an excellent guide. His enthusiasm for Portuguese history is infectious! As a former student, he provides great information and shows you great sights. Especially loved the Joanina Library. Because of Renan's excitement with the history, this non-history lover is inspired to read and learn more about Portugal's history. Thanks for the great tour!

You MUST do a tour with Renan

Published on Dec, 2024

Renan was absolutely amazing. His knowledge of Portugese history was incredible and his passion for Coimbra, and in particular the University where he had studied, was infectious. We learnt so much in such a short period of time and had enormous fun. We could have listened to his stories for hours longer. We would HIGHLY recommend to anyone wanting to get a genuine taste of this beautiful and important part of Portugal.

Highly recommend this tour for all history lovers!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was one of the best tours I've taken. From the instructions on where to meet to the tour itself, Renen was an incredible guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the area and this is evident in his stories about the old university, the Joanina library, and the old town of Coimbra. I learned more about Portugal's history in a few hours than I did in the many years of visits to Portugal. Highly recommend this tour!

I learned a lot about Coimbra during my tour with Renan. He gave a lot of context behind the beautiful buildings of one of the oldest universities in the world.
