Monica was very attentive and was very enthusiastic about the Knights Templar and their role in Portugal's history. She told us of the kings and the history of the area, she is very knowledgeable about Manueline architecture. She helped us find a restaurant with authentic food of Portugal in the time of exploration. Excellent tour that will surprise you with the Templar mysteries and the beautiful castles that protected the Portuguese. It is very interesting and Monica made the history come alive. Kudos.

We had a nice tour of the older parts of the university (incl. the former palace) and the downtown. Since Coimbra is a small town, I think it would have been possible to explore the place on our own, but it was very helpful to have Joan as our guide to know the history and Coimbra and that of Portugal by extension.

As a graduate of the University of Coimbra, I was able to hear more vivid explanations and experiences. I learned about the entire history of the University of Coimbra through professional explanations. The guide kindly answered all my questions and guided me on time. I highly recommend it! :)
