Inmejorable. Nuestro guía Felipe nos contó con todo detalle la historia de la universidad hasta nuestros días, lugar que conoce muy bien ya que estudió en ella. Tuvimos el privilegio de contar con él como guía particular, puesto que fuimos los únicos que reservamos el tour ese día. Translate this opinion into English.

Unbeatable. Our guide Felipe told us in detail about the history of the university up to the present day, a place he knows very well since he studied there. We had the privilege of having him as our private guide, since we were the only ones who booked the tour that day. Opinion translated. Show original.

O passeio foi ótimo. O Renan é um guia que esbanja conhecimento, sobre todos os aspectos do passeio, além de dar uma aula de história. O que mais foi impactante foi a paixão na hora de falar sobre os fatos históricos. Recomendo para qualquer tipo de passeio, sempre será uma experiência positiva. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was great. Renan is a guide who is full of knowledge about all aspects of the tour, as well as giving a history lesson.

O Filipe foi pontual e foi explicando tudo sobre os espaços, prédios e a história dos lugares que passamos, de um jeito que prendeu nossa atenção em todo o tempo da visita. Foi incrível sua explanação, tudo muito claro, de forma leve e interessante. Eu e minhas amigas adoramos a visita e é claro que sermos guiadas pelo Filipe fez toda a diferença. Infelizmente não registramos um momento com o guia, mas do lugar fizemos fotos maravilhosas. Translate this opinion into English.

Filipe was punctual and explained everything about the spaces, buildings and history of the places we visited in a way that kept our attention throughout the visit. His explanations were incredible, everything was very clear, light and interesting. My friends and I loved the visit and of course being guided by Filipe made all the difference. Unfortunately we didn't get to record a moment with the guide, but we took wonderful photos of the place. Opinion translated. Show original.

Renan is an extremely knowledgeable, passionate guide who is able to engage you in recounting the historical events he presents with playful participation, adding interesting trivia and amusing anecdotes. Our own Kentaro Miura among the narrators of history! Brilliant!

Nuestro guía fué Gonzalo. Una visita verdaderamente preparada, trabajada sobre el terreno, y muy muy agradable. Además de mostrarnos la Universidad a fondo y de responder con enorme paciencia todas nuestra preguntas fué acompasando la visita y sus explicaciones a nuestras paradas para "foto". Gonzalo consiguió que al ser un grupo pequeño el vigilante de la biblioteca Joanina nos permitese verla un momento a solas. Excepcional. Muy agradecidos a Gonzalo por una visita muy muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was Gonzalo. A truly well-prepared visit, worked on the ground, and very, very pleasant. Besides showing us the University in depth and answering all our questions with enormous patience, he timed the visit and his explanations to our stops for "photo". Gonzalo managed to get the guard of the Joanina library to allow us to see it for a moment alone since we were a small group. Exceptional. Very grateful to Gonzalo for a highly recommended visit.

La actividad fue genial!!! Gonçalo tenía mucho conocimiento de la universidad y era capaz de complementarlo con fotografías que lo hacían muy interactivo. Se han explicado tradiciones, usos de las cosas y otros aspectos muy interesantes que han hecho que la ruta valga la pena. Importante ser comprensivos con su acento para hablar español, todo el mundo puede tener dificultades Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was great!!! Gonçalo had a lot of knowledge of the university and was able to complement it with photos that made it very interactive.

Gonçalo nos explicó muy bien la vida estudiantil y las distintas tradiciones, así como lo relativo al palacio real, la capilla de San Miguel y la biblioteca joanina. Sin embargo, la visita se hace un poco larga, con hora y media sería suficiente. La bajada a la catedral vieja sobra, se puede explicar la fiesta desde el balcón desde la que se ve cuando se visita la universidad Translate this opinion into English.

Gonçalo explained to us very well the student life and the different traditions, as well as everything related to the royal palace, the chapel of San Miguel and the Joanina library. However, the visit is a bit long, an hour and a half would be enough. The descent to the old cathedral is superfluous, you can explain the party from the balcony from which you can see when you visit the university Opinion translated. Show original.

Gonzalo fue un guía estupendo y le entiendes perfectamente en castellano. Además está muy atento en que todo se comprenda. Además de explicarnos la parte histórica de la universidad, nos ha ilustrado en costumbres universitarias, además de enseñarnos varias “republicas”. Desde luego es obligado hacer una visita así para comprender la Universidad de Coimbra. Dan ganas de volver a estudiar y hacer un erasmus!! Lo recomendamos sin duda. Translate this opinion into English.

Gonzalo was a great guide and you understand him perfectly in Spanish. He is also very attentive that everything is understood. In addition to explaining the historical part of the university, he has illustrated us in university customs, in addition to teaching us several "republics". Of course, it is obligatory to make such a visit to understand the University of Coimbra. Makes you want to go back to study and do an erasmus !! We recommend it without a doubt. Opinion translated.

Muy interesante lo que nos contó tanto de historia como de la vida y tradiciones de La vida estudiantil Yo ya lo recomendado a mi cuñado que va en agosto a Coímbra Translate this opinion into English.

We made a visit with Gonzalo and we loved the visit, he explained the University very well and the visit that was 2 hours was almost 3 and it was short. Very interesting what he told us about the history as well as the life and traditions of the student life.

No hay que dejar de visitarla, y si es guiada mucho mejor. Con Gonzalo te enteras muy bien de todo. El sabe mucho y te lo explica muy bien aunque diga que no sabe mucho español nosotros no tuvimos ningún problema para entenderle se le ve muy buena persona y que le gusta lo que hace. Translate this opinion into English.

You must not miss visiting it, and if it's guided, even better. With Gonzalo, you learn everything very well. He knows a lot and explains it very well, even though he says he doesn't know much Spanish. We had no problem understanding him; he seems like a very nice person who enjoys what he does.
