Our guide was friendly and informative, he started with a primer of Coimbra and how the university came to be then started the actual tour. We had two teens and both were enthralled by the little details of the campus. The highlight was entry to a walkway on the outside of the building near the rafters! The views were so beautiful and looking over the city one could see the history from ancient roman occupation to moorish rule to present day. There is so much to see on this tour and if you are interested in learning about the history and culture then this tour is for you. Our guide was very knowlagable about the history Portugal.

This was a fantastic tour. Our guide Joao was informative and passionate about the university and knew his content exceptionally well having attended university on the campus. Not only was he on time and waiting for us, but we got a WhatsApp the morning of our tour with contact information which was so helpful to stay in touch. The university is amazing and seeing it with a private guide is the way to go! The library alone was worth every penny to have access to see it. Thank you Joao!
