I am a certified guide
Please book the tour if there are at least 2 people! With fewer people, No-tour. Or just let me know if I have other bookings (if that's the case, I can make the tour). If you see that the cancellation rate is high on my profile, that has something to do with it. There are no one-person tours. Or people no show up.
Any questions, please ask. Thank you!
This activity includes:
- Largo da Portagem
- Sé Velha - Coimbra

- Jardim Botânico da Universidade de Coimbra
On arrival
The meeting point is in front of the entrance to the beautiful Agência Banco de Portugal, in Largo da Portagem.
To identify me: My name is João, I always have a colored bottle, and I have dressed, a green t-shirt.
Things to note
If it's just one person and you see that the site only accepts two, please don't mark it as two. Be honest with the guide. It's not fair to arrive at the meeting point and be tricked. If the guide doesn't have anyone else, he won't do the tour with just one person. I live far from the center, and I spend a lot on fuel, which is a huge expense.
How can the tour be free?
Our concept is simple — there is no set price. Instead, you tip your guide at the end of the tour whatever amount feels right to you. Typically, guests give between $10 to $50, depending on their satisfaction and budget.
Most guides accept cash or card payments, or you can do it via our app.
Free Cancellation
You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
