João was prompt and easily located in the meeting location in Coimbra. He allowed time for stragglers and began the uphill tour with three of us. He provided some good restaurant recommendations along the way. He also provided some interesting insight about the student culture of Coimbra. Unfortunately, the tour progressed more slowly than anyone in the group wanted. There were also long periods of standing around without discussion. Also, with this small group, there was one attendee who decided she liked talking more than listening to the guide, and the guide let her talk and talk. I think this tour might be better as a brief 1 to 1-1/2 hour walking tour.

Risposta di João:
I find several of your thoughts regrettable. The information about the tour (route, timetable, ascents and descents is on my page, and I gave you this information at the beginning of the tour too), I'm sorry you're not paying attention! assess whether or not you can afford it. You suddenly left the tour halfway through with the excuse that you were having dinner (at 6pm). You missed 50% of the tour information. As for saying that the tour was unpleasant for everyone, I'd like to know where you got that idea... but it's a huge lie, I finished the tour with a single tourist (the oldest), who you say that speak a lot, yes she was very interested in everything, including history and other things. She was not being rude, she wanted to meet people, and to know history and new cultures. She was very happy and told me that she loved everything about the tour, her comment is online (and by the way, I stayed with her longer than the tour route, half of her too, to help her with other questions, and she was very curious, "the one who talked too much"). I had two tourists who were not at all correct, with attitudes that were not normal on a tour, and they didn't understand the context or the work of the guide. Not to mention the fact that I was underpaid by both of them (one of whom was you). One who was walking alone in front of me. I told her sometimes to wait us.!!! A guide's primary mission is to talk about local/national traditions and history, and to give other suggestions, clarify doubts, and talk to you too, but for that to happen, the tourists also have to want it (and I didn't feel that from you or the other person. The tird person was interested). Something is not right here, I finished the tour at the scheduled time, 3 hours, as I said, I stayed longer with the tourist to help her. Amy Teichman, her name. The tour also takes place according to the patience and interest of the tourists. And according to the politeness and respect for the place they are visiting and the guide they have. With that in mind, I'll be able to pass on as much information as possible. Tourists also play a fundamental role in how the tour goes. If some people don't know how to behave, I can't keep drawing attention to them every single minute! That's all I do. In fact, if you felt uncomfortable with the tourist who was talking to you, why didn't you ask her to shut up?!
