Free visit of Roman Ruins and Monografic Museum
The e-bike ride was a surprise for my wife, and at the last minute she chickened out of it (she hasn't been on a bike in 30 years!). Instead of cancelling, the guide generously offered to take us to the Conimbriga ruins by car. The ruins and museum are worth visiting, we spent about 2 hours in the whole place. Shouldn't be mised.
We enjoyed our time with Xavier (sp) and learning about the ruins. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. We were thrilled with the bonus stop at Rabacal for wine and cheese - a highlight for sure! Thank you Xavier for all the insights you shared and making it a fun outing!
This was the highlite of our trip to Portugal. To imagine being in a first century city of such wealth that endured for four centuries and that ended with such a heroic and massive defence. The mosaic floors were dazzling and the extensive garden fountain still working after all these centuries was a marvel. Alfredo was the most knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. He engages with the people working at the museums and at the archeological site.
Xavier is a marvelous guide with a wealth of local knowledge of the region. We drove through beautiful countryside and charming villages to see the unique limestone caves of Buracas of Casmilo. Xavier bought us an espresso and treated us with local cheese at the village of Rabaçal before we headed to the Conímbriga Roman Ruins. Xavier brought alive, through fascinating facts and stories, the history of this impressive archaeological site. We highly recommend this tour! Ellen and Ryan, Canada
This is a perfect tour. You get an explanation of Roman culture and history, all with an excellent guide! Xavier Pereira is personable, very knowledgeable and makes history come alive. Thumbs up, a highly recommended tour. Colleen and John, USA
We had a great afternoon exploring Conimbriga and the surrounding area. I highly recommend this tour and our guide was delightful. We visited a small village where he shared an excellent local cheese we would never have otherwise tasted.
He is an excellent tour guide! He is very knowledgeable and loves what he does. Enjoy the fountain experience as it’s fun!
Javier was great. He’s knowledgeable and very pleasant. On the way he pointed out sights along the way, including parts of the Camino and Fatima pilgrimages. We stopped for coffee and he treated us to the local artisan cheese. Picked us up at our hotel at the appointed hour. It was a lovely half day trip, I recommend it.
Everything was perfect from the booking to the collection to the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lovely insight into the local area as well as the roman ruins. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and it was a pity we didnt have time to explore other tours with the company. Definitely a guide who enjoys people.
Xavier not only educated us on Conimbriga but also the surrounding area. He took us to these beautiful limestone caves, to the town of Rabaçal and bought us it’s famous artisan cheese and bread. What a lovely surprise. He showed and explained the markers for the Fátima and St James pilgrimage trail. Both going through Conimbriga. We highly recommend this tour by Xavier.
Enthusiastic guide, who took us on a wonderful adventure. Assisted us seniors in climbing up to the caves on the trails. Escorted us into a hillside bakery where he bought us bread and cake then into a charming hillside town where he gifted us with local cheese. Onto the ruins where his own wonder of the discovery was evident. Great day from pickup to drop off at the hotel. Thank you Xavier .
Our tour guide was possibly the best one I have ever encountered. He was informative, flexible, generous with time spent at each location and had great local knowledge.The trip included a bonus mix of the natural country side and the tiny villages. We had a glimpse of the village lifestyle, plus the history of the region. The car was extremely clean, spacious and a smooth ride even on the unmade roads. He provided water for the guests. He ran to schedule and was able to share a joke with us. Overall an amazing experience
It's worth it!!!! Amazing, beautiful walk. Our guide, Monica, is a charming and knowledgeable subject. Thank you 😊
The explanation of Peter great, we loved visiting the Roman city and all the curiosities he has told us. We recommend it
It's worth it. Mosaics and very interesting environment. By car it is not far. In the restaurant you eat well. But if there are many people they overflow
The guide was very attentive and gave us a history lesson. Very good walk, highly recommended. Thank you Xavier.
