    So much fun!

    Ana Paula is amazing! She is a wealth of knowledge about the city of Coimbra, it's history and culture and cuisine. Our small group was entertained with fun and interesting facts and stories of the city. The restaurants we visited just were not places that an ordinary visitor would ever get to see! The food and tastings were both fun and filling. Thank you so much Ana, our entire group loved the tour! I highly recommend.

    Coimbra Culinary tour

    The food and wine tour has 3 stops, the first one was amazing and authentic which you would never find by yourself. The second one was much more trivial which I would not expect in a culinary tour. The third was in a place you could get by yourself, but the specialty and the story is a unique one. Anna Paula, the guide is a great storyteller, has fluent English and is knowledgeable about the places and the history.

    Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Coimbra.

    How much does Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk cost?

    +

    Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Coimbra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Coimbra is not rushed.

    Is Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Coimbra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Coimbra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Coimbra and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Coimbra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Coimbra?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Coimbra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coimbra Top Attractions Walking Tour, Discovering the charms and places of Coimbra, Soft Canyoning, river Ceira, Góis, Serra da Lousa, Coimbra. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Coimbra?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Coimbra?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk?

    +

    Included: Private Tour Guide services. Not included: Lunch; and No vegan and vegetarian food available. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Coimbra Secret Wine and Food Tasting Private Guided Walk?

    +
