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

During this guided visit to Lousã, just 30 minutes away from Coimbra, we will be able to experience a place out of the tourist track! In the middle of the mountain we will find the charming Schist Villages of Candal and Talasnal, the Castle of Lousã, Louçainha Beach and its Waterfalls and the Lady of Mercy Sanctuary where we will have an amazing view to the mountain while listening to the sounds of nature: the water falling. . . the birds. . . the wind in the trees! As a local with family living in small villages, I used to spend my weekends and summers exploring those, so I always feel I am sharing my home when I take people to these places. You can ask me anything, I will be very happy to let you know everything wonderful about the countryside.
