This was a perfect tour! - This was one of the best tours we have ever taken. The site is amazing! So much is intact - particularly the mosaic floors!! Often when visiting ruins, I have to use a lot of imagination to visualize what it looked like, but there was so much intact that I could get a sense of the place very easily. Sergio was an informed and helpful guide. He took lots of pictures and then sent them to us. We had a terrific day and highly recommend this tour!!

Fatima & The Roman Ruins of Conimbriga are a must! - What an EXCELLANT Tour. We asked if with could combine two tours as we only had one day and wanted to see both Fatima & the Roman Ruins. Sergio was so accommodating. We started in Fatima and then to the Roman ruins in Conimbriga. Sergio was a wonderful guide! He was so informative, knowledgeable and was so very nice. There is nothing bad that I could say about this tour. I would definitely recommend this tour and especially Sergio to anyone especially my family and friends.

This was a PERFECT day - This was simply a terrific tour. Sergio was knowledgeable and personable and an excellent host/guide. The ruins are expansive and impressive, particularly the mosaics, the outlines of villas and the sense of place. It was very informative and very personal - only the two of us with Sergio. A very special experience, not to be missed if you are in the Coimbra.

History and Nature in one tour - I've wanted to visit Conímbriga for a long time because I really like everything to do with Roman civilization. The level of knowledge that Sérgio demonstrated during the visit made the entire experience much better, as many things would have gone unnoticed by us. The Sicó caves were a very interesting passage, especially for those who like natural curiosities.

Worth the time to see this amazing place just outside of Coimbra. - When we first got there we had no idea it would be so expansive. It's basically a small city that was built between the 1st and 3rd century. The signage is very clear and describes what each area was and how they saw it was built. We toured on our own and really enjoyed all that was there. Definitely a highlight of our time in Coimbra.

Great day outside! - Sergio was a fantastic guide and a great companion for a beautiful day at the Roman ruins and the caves! Pick up at the hotel couldn’t have been easier, and he was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful. He took beautiful photos of my friend and I, but also of all the sites we discussed together. This was a highlight of our trip for sure!

Just use Sergio and don't waste your time shopping around. - The service and guide were excellent. We did the full day experience with pick-up and drop-off from our hotel in Coimbra. Sergio is very engaging and knowledgeable and we throughly enjoyed our day. We can't imagine visiting Conimbriga without a guide. He brought it too life for us!

Sérgio Forte -- One of the Best - Sérgio Forte was one of the better tour guides we had while in Portugal, he is very knowledgeable about the Roman Ruin and the caves, and took the time to answer each and every question we had, no matter what we asked. We also used his services the following day for a trip to Fatima, Nazaza, and Alcobaca (See my review of that tour) . One thing that is really impressive, other than his safe driving and being able to negotiate around one-way streets and lack of parking spaces, is that he photos the tour along with you, and then mails you the photos AFTER you get home.
