We booked this tour but it could not be confirmed because not enough people had signed up for the day we wanted to go. They were very accommodating, rescheduling us a day earlier.
The tour was interesting, particularly the university in Coimbra. Our guide was knowledgeable and very helpful.

Touch Tours provided clear and timely information as well as a very comfortable and spotless Mercedes sedan. They sent us a guide, Antonio Maximo, who was fantastic from start to finish. Antonio was completely fluent in English and in fun and interesting ways shared his extensive knowledge of the history, culture old and new, day-to-day life today. He drove us to Coimbra through torrential rains, had umbrellas for us to use, picked a lovely spot for lunch on the way from Coimbra to Aveiro, and I’m sure I’m forgetting other things that made it a really great day. The Coimbra tour was amazing. The University, chapel, Chem lab building, botanical gardens - they all have to be seen to appreciate their full wonder. Then after a full day Antonio dropped us off at the beach in Porto so we could have time at the Atlantic shore. His directions for using public transit to get back to our hotel when we were finished at the beach made it as easy as can be. We loved the entire day, October 23, 2023.

It was an interesting tour, our guide was good, I enjoyed a day with other couples. A boat tour at Aveiro was a little bored and guide on a boat wasn't good. Other than that, I enjoyed a day. Thank you.

There was so much to learn about Coimbra and its impact on Portugal. It was clear that our guide, Alex, is passionate about his job and sharing what makes Portugal and these two cities special. Coimbra was the highlight for me. Aveiro was a fun boat trip included in the tour.

Our tour guide, Alex, was knowledgeable, passionate about Coimbra, and fun to take the journey with - unlike some guides who, though knowledgeable, struggle to enhance the trip.

The excursion to these beautiful towns was awesome! Perfect spots for a day trip from Porto. Our tour guide, Alex (the great!!), was amazing. His English was great so communication was easy, he had answers to our questions, gave us a lot of cool facts and told us stories about Portugal. He was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and the best tour guide!

I would highly recommend this tour and request Sophie/Sophia to be your tour guide! Sophie was an amazing tour guide and did a wonderful job explaining all of the history behind all the great places we went, and even gave the tour in French and English at the same time! If you are able to do the tour, I would highly recommend booking it!
