Coimbra Tours, Tickets, & Excursions

Therefore, we always seek in our company to combine the beautiful history of the University of Coimbra with the current and its customs that still permeate our institution. This was all made possible by the education we have in the areas of history, sociology and tourism. Our employees are alumni of the University of Coimbra which brings to our services a great appreciation and knowledge of it.
