olá! / hello! / hola!
my name is sara, born and raised in coimbra, a city in the center region of portugal
i always loved to share my knowledge about portugal with people from all around the world âï¸
i have a degree in tourism, leisure and heritage by the famous university of coimbra, one of the oldest universities in the world, and the oldest of portugal, completed in 2008.i also have a postgraduate in art studies in the field of music, by the same university.
i acquired a vast working experience having participated in summer interships during my degree, working in tourism and events management for an agency and hotel after finishing my studies, and doing volunteer work in national and international events.i did my degree intership at a cultural music association in my hometown coimbra.
after these experiences i have decided to start my own tour company and worked in it as manager and tour guide from may 2012 to november 2020, when - because of covid19 - i was forced to shut it down.
during that time i focused on creating a youtube channel and managing social media such as [sensitive content] and [sensitive content] pages, under the name go! walks portugal.i made lots of free content about portugal for people to enjoy, so you're invited to take a look to it too!
after things got back to "normal" i continued working as a freelancer tour guide, so i am available for hire!
i have two comfortable vehicles that i can use for services throughout portugal: half-day, full-day tours or multi-day routes, you name it! within cities, i advise doing mostly walking routes and combine it with public transportation whenever needed.
if you're planning on coming to portugal, or if you're already here and want to learn about it, i would love to welcome you.please feel free to contact me for guided tours and routes throughout my country!
i have no restrictions entering monuments and museums.
