The best day, with a fantastic host - James was an outstanding tour guide who deviated from the Coimbra itinerary to give our daughter (a scholar of ancient Rome) a tour of the amazing ruins of a Roman city in nearby Conimbra. The city was occupied in the 100s and the mosaics are fantastic, as is the museum. Our first stop in Tomar was equally wonderful, as we toured the romantic castle headquarters of the Knights Templar (circa 1100) and the baroque convent within its walls. Again, we loved James.

Defrauded by Viator - We had an awful day. We specifically asked for an English speaking guide and all we got was a driver. He was unfamiliar with the place, did not know the itinerary. We decided to cut the trip short and come back to Lisbon. To make matters worse, the car broke down on the way home and we took an uber to get home. The worst part of all this, Viator could care less about our terrible experience. They refused to refund our money and they also did not bother to investigate the matter. Viator also claimed that they didn’t say we would get a certified guide. But they made us pay for one during the booking. Go figure!! They said that they checked with the vendor BlackCab who claimed everything was great! Please be advised that there is no way to call BlackCab or Viator easily. We tried calling them when the driver was late, but the numbers don’t work. We felt completely defrauded by Viator. Please be careful and be aware that these companies are only there to take your money, not to give you a wonderful experience.
