Are you coming to Coimbra and still doesn’t know how to visit the entire city without missing a beat? You have to look for GO!walks’ help! The initiative was created by Sara Cruz, who studied Tourism, Recreation and Heritage at the University of Coimbra, a course with the seal of UNESCO that gave her the idea to change the way visitors can discover Coimbra.
“The initiative began in June of 2012 and since then we have been working every day. We work with just one person or groups, providing several visits to monuments, museums and other places of interest in the city of Coimbra. We have served 40 different nationalities and all people seem to want to visit the historical center, including the University of Coimbra, the main (and sometimes only) reason for their visit to the city”, says Sara Cruz.
GO!walks provides fixed routes, but also personalized tours according to the goals of each client. “First, we talk with the client to understand his personality and tastes and then adapt the script to agree with his specificities”, explains the promoter. The visits are guided and reported in Portuguese, English, Spanish or French, with prices between €12.50 and €40.
According to Sara Cruz, GO!walks’ customers “have the advantage of enjoying discounts at various locations such as the University of Coimbra, the Mosteiro of Santa Clara-a-Velha and also restaurants or local craft shops”. Since its beginning, GO!walks “came to change how guests discover the city. It’s totally different when a person understands what it’s being seen”, she adds.
