Great - We’ve been to quite a few Roman sites over the years. This was one of the best. It was bigger than we thought annd had some unique features, and Sérgio was a very knowledgeable, interesting and charming guide. There’s a good little museum on site too. Oh, and Sergio takes (better) photographs (than me), which he sends for you to download. At the end he takes you down rugged country lanes to the remains of some limestone caves. We really enjoyed it.

Great - We thought this was really good. Conímbriga was more extensive and more interesting than I thought it would be. Sérgio was one of the best guides we have had the pleasure to meet. He was informative, insightful, and a pleasure to be with. We have seen many Roman sights over the years. This trip ranks right up at the top.

Insight and Sympathy for a Lost City - The motto of Aventuras Fortes sums it up: "More than just a tour; an adventure." We would both say "More even than an adventure: a treasured experience." From the beginning of the journey to Conimbriga Sergio was helpful and considerate, ensuring we approached the vehicle in the most convenient as well as safe way. On arrival there was little delay and we were escorted throughout the tour with helpful commentary that showed how well he understood the site and its history. The tour followed a gradually revealing route through the buildings outside the late defensive wall, with explanations of why our approach was from their rear. On reaching the front entrance we could see each building layout clearly as well as how it had been overshadowed by the wall that eventually failed in its purpose of defence. Beyond the wall we were of course impressed by the governor's residence and the gymnasium area but both seemed insignificant compared with the magnificence of the merchant's house. How heartbreaking it must have been to have built such a mansion and then have to abandon it before the city was overwhelmed by an enemy. The whole narrative was given to us in an understanding way, and the care Sergio took of two elderly people on a site with deep steps and uneven surfaces was exemplary. The final visit to the site museum to see objects found by excavation added mush of the human dimension to a long-lost city. We are both very grateful and recommend Aventuras Fortes heartily.

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.

Roman Ruins Tour - Sergio was an excellent guide. Accommodating with pick up and drop off and most of all very knowledgeable about the Conímbriga Ruins. Excellent Tour!

To do - I've been wanting to go for a while and today was the day!!! Great place with beautiful ruins, well explained QR codes are available with languages, French, English and Portuguese. Site to absolutely do!!!

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.
