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
