Fun time
We had a great tour of Coimbra. We got a great overview of this wonderful city. And we appreciated the flexibility of the change of the start time.

Tuk tuk of Coimbra.
Our 4 hour tour was amazing. Our driver, Goncalves took us everywhere and then some. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the city and also told us some funny great stories. He took time out so we could take pictures or make stops at places we wanted to see. Great personality and funny. We had a wonderful day.

Tour magnifico
Passeio com a mãe para matar saudades da sua cidade preferida. Ótima solução , descontraída, novidade para ela. O Gonçalo foi um extraordinário guia, muito simpático e com bastante informação de todos os locais. Adoramos! Muito obrigada

Top tour in a tuk tuk
Three of us boarded the tuk tuk yesterday in a lively and lovely plaza in Coimbra. Two of three of us have mobility issues so this was a great option over the walking tour. Armando was a wonderful guide as we covered a lot of ground with a few stop off points. We loved being able to see the old town, the university area, and also the other side of the river in just over an hour. A perfect solution, a perfect tour, a perfect guide. And...more things to see next time we return!

Sono venuto all'Erasmus a Coimbra quest'anno e sebbene conosca già la città, vorrei mostrarlo ai miei genitori che stavano visitando il Portogallo. Dato che entrambi sono abbastanza grandi, camminarli su e giù non sembrava una buona idea. Ho visto il tuk tuk vicino all'università e l'ho trovato perfetto. L'autista parlava un buon inglese e tutti abbiamo capito. Così sono stato in grado di rendere una visita molto confortevole e divertente. Aiutò che era una bella giornata di sole.

Maping Coimbra
One hour tour that allows you to map the main monuments and other interesting places of Coimbra. From the Baixa and the Santa Cruz church, to the University, and almost in the top the beautifull Saudade garden full of poems that supposedly are written from former people and students that lived in Coimbra. It´s an up and down and the tuk tuk becomes ideal, especially in the old and very narrow streedts of the old part of town. Our guide was very kind and patient and the tour took a bit more time than expected but he didn´t mind. Recommend it.

Good way of starting
Making a 1 hour tour on tuk tuk across Coimbra it´s a very good way of starting to know the the city. There are many points of interest such as the Arch of Almedina, Santa Cruz church, Sé Nova and Sé Velha and of course the University. Many of this points are not so close to each other and public transport can be confused. With the help of the driver-guide one can pass many of the main spots and later maybe to make a more depth visit.
