Half-day tour from Coimbra - Sergio was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. He was happy to answer all our questions. We got to see some remote villages and out of the way spots. We are very happy to have chosen this tour. Thank you Sergio for a wonderful day.

Great Experience! Highly recommend! - Our tour guide, Sérgio, was amazing! We did a small group tour and since he picked us up on time, we were too early for entry to the ruins. Therefore, he took us on a short drive up through the hillside where we stopped to view a cave. The drive took us through a small village where we could get a sense of the lifestyle of those living there and saw several shepperds tending sheep; something I never expected to see! Sérgio's knowledge of the local area and the ruins was immense and he was able to answer all our questions. In addition, the ruins themselves includes almost no signage so without his vast knowledge, which he shared constantly as we walked through the space, the experience would have not been the same and would honestly have been much less impressive. We could tell he cares about his job as he made sure to be well read on the area and that we were getting the best experience possible. He even took pictures during the tour which he shared with us later. Went way above! I would go on another tour with him in a heartbeat!

Unique tour, fantastic host and guide - Was such a great tour just myself and husband went, but really relaxed pace, picked us up right at our accommodation. Sergio really loved showing us the natural cages on spectacular countryside. He brought us around Conimbraga, really brought it to life and then sent us loads of great photoes. Real pleasure and a really unique tour - can’t recommend highly enough

Roman Ruins Revealed - After walking the hills of Coimbra we decided a tour of the Roman ruins at Conímbriga would be a good change of pace. Sérgio picked us up right on time and we drove out to the site passing the pilgrims making their way to Fatima. He was able to share about that as well. The site is large and we would have missed a lot without the helpful information he provided. He was able to point out things we would have missed and provide interesting background information. I can highly recommend this walking tour and Sérgio. We also loved a day off from all the hills and stairs of Coimbra!

Visit ancient Rome with Sergio!!! - Sergio is such a personable and knowledgeable guide. He showed us many small details of things in the Roman ruins that we would not have noticed. He is well versed in the history of the Roman city. He sends you pictures that he took on the tour with you. It was such a great tour. We highly recommend it!!!

Perfect in every way! - Perfect tour- we were shocked by the vast amount of Roman ruins excavated & even more so to learn it's a tiny percentage of those known to be in the area!
The Caves of Sicó were far more than we expected a truely magnificent wonder of nature.
Sérgio was a brilliant guide with extensive knowledge who made my daughters 21st Birthday a day she'll always remember with fondness.

Great. - The site is the most impressive Roman excavation we’ve toured and we’ve seen many of them.
Our guide was equally impressive. There wasn’t a question we asked him where he didn’t have a reasoned, factual response; not just regarding the site, also questions about Portugal generally.

Great - We’ve been to quite a few Roman sites over the years. This was one of the best. It was bigger than we thought annd had some unique features, and Sérgio was a very knowledgeable, interesting and charming guide. There’s a good little museum on site too.
Oh, and Sergio takes (better) photographs (than me), which he sends for you to download.
At the end he takes you down rugged country lanes to the remains of some limestone caves.
We really enjoyed it.

Great - We thought this was really good. Conímbriga was more extensive and more interesting than I thought it would be.
Sérgio was one of the best guides we have had the pleasure to meet. He was informative, insightful, and a pleasure to be with. We have seen many Roman sights over the years. This trip ranks right up at the top.
