Tour to Tomar and Coimbra
This review is an 4.5. Our guide, NuNu was very kind and knowledgeable. He did everything to make us comfortable on the trip. He gave interesting information about the sites. To make the trip even better, I would have liked time for lunch and also for him to go into the sites with us and explain. We liked touring with NuNu so much we are planning to book another tour with him this trip.

Memorable Coimbra
Coimbra's old-world charm is very captivating. The city is full of history. Ricardo, our tour guide, did so well in introducing us to many interesting and beautiful places around and we really enjoyed the tour. Thanks Ric!

Great day with Ricardo and Coimbra and Tomar
This tour was a enjoyable tour we covered a lot of territory in just one day traveling from Lisbon to Coimbra and Tomar home of the Templars. Ricardo was knowledgeable, helpful courteous, thorough, and interested in what we wanted to do. Good guide.

A few things, before you decide.
Yes, as a private full-day tour — normally 8 to 9 hours door to door, with pickup as listed on this page. The Joanina Library runs on timed entry, so your visit time is set by the available slot on your date.
Why we designed this day
Full Day in Centro. The Templar Convento de Cristo in Tomar, then Coimbra's ancient university and old town along the Mondego.
It fits history lovers, couples and culture seekers. The rhythm we hold is convento de cristo, coimbra university, old town walk — private guide, private vehicle, no group to wait for.
Why this place matters
Tomar's UNESCO-listed Convent of Christ preserves the transition from the Knights Templar to the Order of Christ. Coimbra carries the story into Portugal's university tradition; the Joanina Library visit depends on timed entry.
Convento de Cristo
Templar fortress — round church, manueline window, layers of orders that shaped the Discoveries.
