Jose Antonio - Tour Guide in Coimbra

My name is Jose. I live in Coimbra since I was a student here a few years ago.

I like history, culture and art. And I love meeting new people.

I offer general tours of the city in Portuguese and English. I also offer more specific and in-depth tours of the New and Old Cathedrals and the University of Coimbra.

Jose Antonio was one of the best guides we’ve had in Portugal. Well prepared with large pictures and maps, he is very knowledgeable and brings us to the best spots for pictures. He also gave us a sheet of paper at the end with his local recommandations!

Jose was an excellent guide. He knows his city inside and out and sprinkled history into it without it feeling like a history lesson. His English is easy to understand and he kept the tour very entertaining. We highly recommend!

Response from Jose Antonio
Hello Giovanna, Thank you for your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. From your comments, it seems that you may have been looking for a more dynamic or entertainment-focused experience, rather than a traditional guided city tour. I apologise if the description of the tour did not make this distinction clear enough in advance. My intention is always for participants to finish the tour feeling that their time was well spent. Had I known during the tour that it wasn’t what you were hoping for, I would have personally recommended that you not stay until the end and instead use your time in a way you would have found more enjoyable. The tour is designed to offer a balanced introduction to the city for a wide range of visitors, although I understand that preferences and expectations can vary from person to person. Once again, I’m sorry that this was not the experience you were looking for, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Wishing you all the best in your future travels, José

José was an amazing guide for our tour. He is really nice, so you are confortable since the beginning. He speaks a really good English, and always try his best to understand your questions. We did a Coimbra tour, and it was nice to see the Tourist Spots, but also some hidden places. We learnt a lot about the traditions of the scholars here. José helped us to take photos, and he give us some jokes. After the tour, he also give us more recommendations in the city, like restaurants, where to take a good coffee to hear fado,... It was one of my favorite tour ever!
