About Activity
This is a new product offered by RM Tour in Coimbra. A private tour for those who love history and want to get the most out of their guide.
RM Tour was born from the idea of transforming visits to the University of Coimbra into a unique experience, transforming the guided tour into a pleasant experience of knowledge and cultural enrichment in an interesting way. Therefore, in our company we always seek to combine the beautiful history of the University of Coimbra with the present day and its customs that permeate our institution to this day. This was all made possible by the training we have in the areas of history, sociology and tourism. Our employees are alumni of the University of Coimbra, which brings a great appreciation and knowledge of it to our services.

Reviews
Great overview of the University of Coimbra and City of CoimbraKZ-RW
Renan Alves was our guide. He is getting his PhD at the University of Coimbra in history. His knowledge was beyond description. Details. Dates. Perspectives. Insights. It was amazing - even if, at times, overwhelming. We never had to wait on lines. The tour was 2 hrs 30 min. which seemed to be the right amount of time.
Excellent tour!PamelaChaRo
Renan is an awesome guide, knows a lot about history and explains everything in a very entertaining way! We wish we could take him with us to other places in Portugal. I could not recommend him more!
