The freedom and possibility to do what we love 🥰 thank you so much for making your reservations! Everyone that has traveled with GO! Walks Portugal knows how much passion and energy we put in our work, and how much we have studied (and still do, everyday!) in order to have all that juicy Historical and Cultural information on the tip of our tongue!

September is one of the most incredible months of work, so if we take a little longer to answer your requests... it's because we're touring! But worry not: you will most likely get a reply within 24h! Thank you for your patience!

If you, just like me, happen to like Architecture, Literature... and visiting Lisbon... don't miss this spot in Alfama neighborhood! It's called Casa dos Bicos due to its spikes! Its construction was influenced by palaces of the Italian Renaissance and Portuguese Manuelino styles 😊

Built in the 16th century, it surprisingly survived the earthquake of Lisbon of 1755 and was used as residence and even as a warehouse! Restored in the 20th century it became the headquarters of the José Saramago Foundation and one of the locations of the Museum of Lisbon!

If you know nothing about books and writers now you must be asking yourself "who is Saramago"? Well he won the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1998! Now go read a bit 😉📖 and don't forget to visit this place and learn more about him!

Probably one of the best stage sceneries I have ever seen 🤩

Portugal has some of the biggest and best music festivals, do you agree? Our climate, our geography, and our culture of enjoying being with one another, allow these events to be so successful! Although I find this specific festival too big, I couldn't help going and seeing some of the greatest rock bands of Portugal and the world in just 1 day 🎶 3 stages, one of which has this incredible view over Tagus River & Ponte Vasco da Gama.

If you're in Portugal this summer, check out our festivals! It's worth going!

My travelers have been asking me a lot about "the purple tree" 💜 well, it is a Jacarandá! This is an ornamental tree from the Bignoniaceae family, native to Argentina, Bolivia and southern Brazil, which unfortunately is threatened in its natural habitat. In Coimbra you can find them at our beautiful Botanical Gardens!

It is one of the few trees to have the same common name in almost every language in the world 😊👌

✅ Did you know that... the Tropical Greenhouse of the , completed in 1859, is one of the first examples of iron architecture in Portugal, taking as a reference the greenhouses at Kew Gardens in England? 😊

Thanks to all the thousands of travelers that joined GO! Walks Portugal since 2012. I created many themed tours in Coimbra and Around and it is possible to subscribe to them on the website www.gowalksportugal.com - I have put a lot of work on GO! Walks Portugal design throughout the years and, together with the right people, managed to bring my vision to the world 🤓

When we're personally not available to welcome you, which only happens when we are fully booked, there are audio tours ready for you to enjoy! The Historical Highlights Audio Tour of Coimbra is making a HUGE success and I am already working on another one!!!

You can also learn from me anytime through my YouTube Channel (I have uploaded 72 videos so far!)

A very special THANK YOU to all the tour operators that put their trust in me to plan the best customized experiences for their VIP clients while they are traveling in Central Portugal 🙏 I love working with you and will keep on pushing with new ideas and a top notch service!

Thanks to all the Hotels in Coimbra that see in us a committed team of guides, and call so many times asking for us to welcome their clients ☺️

OBRIGADA to all the guides that cooperate with me and make this machine function when I cannot be in more than 1 place at the same time!

OBRIGADA to the partners who complement my services. Without you, my tours would be incomplete! I know I don't say it often but you are so so valuable and appreciated!!!

Those who are close to me, or used to be at some point, know that this has become my life. And what a life ✨ if there is one thing I take from it is that I love my job and making people's travel dreams come true.

Cheers from Coimbra 🥂

April was an incredible month for GO! Walks Portugal 🌹 after such a long, harsh winter, we finally guided many travelers in 89 tours throughout Central Portugal... and one of our travelers even asked his girlfriend to marry him during one of those tours! Together with his tour agent, we helped organize everything and he got a big fat YES 🥰

What will May bring? Our 12th birthday celebration 🥳 and lots of tours, that's for sure! Thank you all for trusting our knowledge and commitment.

Nop!!! This isn't Lisboa 🤭 it's Portugal dos Pequenitos in Coimbra: a theme park that represents Portugal in a reduced size, let's say!

It is one of the most visited places in town (second after the University of Coimbra) and everyone should go there at least one in their life. I went there sooooo many times already. Not with travelers, as most don't come here with their children and rather spend their short time here visiting the Historical Center and University... but this was my kindergarten and I was a happy baby, surrounded by the fascinating history and architecture of my country 💕

And if you are in Coimbra for a while and thinking you're an adult so there is no interest in coming here... think again! Don't we all have an inner child? And you will learn so much in such a small place! So it is definitely worth it!

I will be sharing some other pictures of this mini Portugal with you in future posts, so stay tuned!

The Sanctuary or Fátima receives about 6 million visitors every year... and some of them learn everything about it by joining our Pilgrimage & Religious Devotion Tour 😇

It is here where the 3 little Shepherds claim to have contacted our Lady of Fátima from May until October 13th (with the exception of one of the months, as the apparition took place closer to the village where they lived). In fact, on the 13th of October thousands of people were here and claim to have witnessed what they call "the miracle of the sun" ☀️

Wanna learn more about this and visit all those sights? Go to our website and subscribe to our full-day tour of Fátima and Nazaré... or send us a message asking for a customized itinerary!

Architecture at its best @ the Sanctuary of Fátima 😇

Join our tour of Fátima, come learn all about these amazing buildings and those who designed them! Yes, because coming here can be much more than just learning about the Apparitions and the three little Shepherds 🙏 Fátima isn't only about religion: the Sanctuary is a work or art in itself. And we personally love that!

Summer is long gone but the heat didn't leave us... yet!

Who's ready for those days indoors under a blanket, with a huge hot tea cup in hands and some scented candles burning, while roasting some chestnuts? 🙋‍♀️ I am so looking forward to it! Until then, we'll be in full force guiding tours until November. Then things will get a little more quiet, and we will recharge batteries and plan the year ahead!

BTW we are already receiving requests for 2024 so don't wait until you are here: book your tours ahead of time and make sure not to miss the best of Portugal alongside our guides!
