Olá! / Hello! My name is Sara, born and raised in Coimbra, a city in the Center Region of Portugal I always loved to share my knowledge about Portugal with people from all around the world ✌️ I have a degree in Tourism, Leisure and Heritage by the famous University of Coimbra, one of the oldest Universities in the World, and the oldest of Portugal, completed in 2008. I also have a postgraduate in Art Studies in the field of Music, completed in 2024 at the same University. I acquired a vast working experience having participated in summer interships during my degree, working in tourism and events management for an agency and hotel after finishing my studies, and doing volunteer work in national and international events. I did my degree intership at a Cultural Music Association in my hometown Coimbra. After these experiences I have decided to start my own Tour Company and worked in it as Manager and Tour Guide from May 2012 to November 2020, when - because of COVID19 - I was forced to shut it down. During that time I focused on creating a YouTube channel and managing social media such as Instagram and Facebook pages, under the name GO! Walks Portugal. I made lots of free content about Portugal for people to enjoy! After things got back to "normal" I continued working as a freelancer Tour Guide, so I am available for hire! I have two comfortable vehicles that I can use for services throughout Portugal: half-day, full-day tours or multi-day routes, you name it! Within cities, I advise doing mostly walking routes and combine it with public transportation whenever needed. If you're planning on coming to Portugal, or if you're already here and want to learn about it, I am ready welcome you. Feel free to contact me for guided tours and routes throughout my country! I have no restrictions entering monuments and museums and I am a licensed Tour Guide (RNAAT 363/2021).

Overview of your Coimbra tour

Did you know that Coimbra has a Roman legacy and background? The location site of Conímbriga was populated by the Romans around 139 B. C. , in a region that contained previous signs of prehistoric occupation, establishing the prosperous capital of Lusitânia. During the rule of Emperor Augusto, Conímbriga grew into a more urban scale including an amphitheater, thermal baths and Roman Forum. Though the most impressive remains of that period are the domus - manor houses - and the insulae. These structures are so well preserved that you will feel like traveling back in time! We will visit the locations of the old town of Conímbriga while learning about the daily livings during that period and understand the strategic location on the territory that later would become Portugal. At the monographic museum we will admire the objects that were used by the people on their daily tasks! Don't miss the chance to learn ancient history about my beautiful city and see how the combination of architectures result.
