Are you ready to fall in love with Coimbra and enjoy some of the best Portuguese sparkling wine?! Oh, you will, I promise you! On this tour, you'll have the chance to learn more about the city's essentials: the University (the oldest in Portugal), The Old Cathedral, The New Cathedral, the city's Roman Forum, the city's Ancient Wall, and other "cultural "treats". We'll talk about the history of Coimbra, the University Student's traditions and celebrations, and mouthwatering food. All of this will be delivered from the perspective of a local professional certified tour guide who actually studied here. The tour's 2nd half will be in Bairrada region (well known for its sparkling wine) where we'll visit the Aliança Underground Museum, a spectacular wine cellar that is simultaneously considered to be art, as well as a ceramic, archaeology, mineral and fossil museum. The cherry on top will be wrapped up with a sparkling wine tasting paired with a mini roasted suckling pig roll (a local delicacy). Shall we go?!

There will be a hired driver with a car (Sedan or VAN- Mercedes E220, Vito, or other available brand/model) at our disposal (a clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned vehicle) during the tour. Nevertheless, to enjoy Coimbra at its most, we have to walk. Otherwise, we will lose most of the city's enchants and wonders.
