Bad, we would not do this excursion again.
The driver brought our bicycles to us. He provided us with no directions to the Ruins. He said "follow the signs". The signs were not available and difficult to see most of the way until we got close to our destination. His instructions on the return trip were to "go back the way you came" which was next to impossible because we went through many little towns and villages that we turned on. Also, the signs were backwards as you could barely see them going out to the Ruins and could not see them at all on the way back. It was not a straight route. We got lost on the way back. When we called him to come and get us, he gave us no help. He gave us some very vague directions to "go back and turn right". We called several times telling him we were lost and asked him to come and get us....he refused. Finally he came and found us making excuses why he couldn't come and blaming us for getting lost. While we enjoyed the ride, there are apps that could provide you with routes (like Ride with GPS) and provide you with specific instructions like Google map. This driver was totally unacceptable. I would not recommend him.
Response from the operator: The description of the activity is clear, we don't know how people with no experience in cycling and no sense of adventure book this type of activity. The suggested round trip routes are pilgrimage routes, Camino de Santiago, yellow signs heading south/north, and Rota Carmelite, blue signs heading north/south, where thousands of pilgrims pass. However, you are free to use whichever route you want, simply by entering the directions on Google Maps to guide you in the mere 16 km that separate Coimbra from the Ruins, you have the whole day to do it, and we have already made it easier for you by providing electric bikes to minimize fatigue. In this case, you felt lost, we first gave you instructions by message because you were 350 meters from the route and you went in the opposite direction without understanding what we were indicating. After seeing that they were not going the right way, in less than 20 minutes we were with the clients to pick them up in the van to take them to the start, which took us 5 minutes from the "lost" point to the starting point. We do not understand why the pejorative tone and the attempt to create an image of discrediting the activity and of myself demonstrated in the review. There are several reviews of our other activities and of myself so that you can clear up any doubts. We only suggest that you relax, you are on vacation, enjoy life and transform difficulties into achievements... at least try. Cheers

Great experience!
Really great highlight of our trip to Portugal! The cycling was quite hard (big hill getting out of Coimbra) but the bikes are really good quality so we just took our time and were rewarded with the views over the valley, small towns and the Roman ruins. Stopped for an espresso and pastel de nata in a town we would never otherwise have gone through. Recommend fully!
Response from the operator: Hi Jessica, I'm glad the bikes responded on the climbs... :) and that you enjoyed every minute of this spectacular experience. I hope to be able to welcome you again on your next visit to Portugal and perhaps on a cycling tour program Thank you very much

Amazing ride to and tour of Roman ruins from Coimbra.
Getting bikes was super convenient. Bikes were smooth, and we rode to Roman ruins passing through many interesting and quaint/non-touristy areas on the way to stop and relax. The ruins were incredible. Highly recommend this due to spot on logistics, uniqueness, and value.
Response from the operator: Exploring the area to roman ruins by bike is the unique experience. Thanks for your spirit adventure

E-bike to Conimbriga Roman Ruins, from Coimbra: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Coimbra.
How much does E-bike to Conimbriga Roman Ruins, from Coimbra cost?
+
Prices start at $96 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 E-bike to Conimbriga Roman Ruins, from Coimbra take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 E-bike to Conimbriga Roman Ruins, from Coimbra worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Coimbra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule E-bike to Conimbriga Roman Ruins, from Coimbra?
+
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 E-bike to Conimbriga Roman Ruins, from Coimbra suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book E-bike to Conimbriga Roman Ruins, from Coimbra?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does E-bike to Conimbriga Roman Ruins, from Coimbra start and how do I get there?
+

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.
