Memorable tour of Coimbra University and ancient capital city site. - RM Tours Felipe took us round this wonderful and fascinating University, one of the oldest in Europe ,and to the old part of this very old and beautiful Portuguese city, the former capital before Lisbon,He was very knowledgable having studied at the university himself and an excellent guide. It was great to have a one to one tour with Filipe, he took myself and my husband round the entire site including the university library and Royal Palace.we then went down into ancient city to get some history and Visit the Igresa de Santa Cruz to finish. A wonderful and memorable experience.

Great oversight of the history of Coimbra and Portugal - Renan was an excellent guide. Quirky, great sense of humour and tremendous knowledge not only of Coimbra and the University but also the general history of Portugal.
