Traveling between Lisbon and Porto? Don't skip this!

Central Portugal is more than a pit-stop. Mass tourism only scratches the surface: dropping crowds at the same spot, at the same hour, leaving nothing behind... We created GO! Walks Portugal because this territory deserves better, and so do you! Dare to stay a bit longer, slow down, and let us show you why we are so deeply rooted in this land.
‍
We’ll explore Roman sites, walk the paths of the Knights Templar, and hear the bees humming in the Schist Villages. Together, we’ll wander through relic forests, palace gardens, learn about the most tragic love story of Portugal, and get lost in the heartfelt chords of the Coimbra Fado and Serenade. Our journeys weave through World Heritage Sites, medieval castles, and hidden fortifications. Along the way, we’ll stop for authentic convent pastries - ancient recipes you cannot find anywhere else - and genuine regional meals. We’ll even chase the giant waves of Nazaré, visiting one of the country’s oldest sanctuaries, and discover the deep faith of Fátima. There is so much to unveil: this is just a glimpse of what we study daily to share with you!

About me | Available for hire!

Welcome to my website!
‍
My name is Sara Cruz, founder of GO! Walks Portugal.
‍
I am passionate for UNESCO Sites, Music, Traveling, Sustainable & Conscious Living, Animals and Portuguese History & Culture!
‍
Coimbra, in Central Portugal, is my home: the place where I was born and my favorite city in Portugal, classified as World Heritage since 2013!
‍
I am graduated in Tourism, Leisure & Heritage by the University of Coimbra and worked as Manager, Travel Consultant and Tour Guide between 2012 and 2020 in my own Tourism Company called GO! Leisure & Heritage. During those years I have built many themed and tailored routes throughout Portugal, so I have a deep knowledge about the country not only on paper but also because of my experience.
‍
Because of COVID19 I was pushed away from guiding tours, but I haven’t given up on doing what I love most which is promoting my beautiful and inspiring country… so I invite you to join me on a journey through the most impressive areas of Portugal, especially if you are interested in unique secluded places and Portuguese History!
‍
I am currently managing an Instagram and Facebook Page, where you can learn about what I’ve been up to… and my main project right now is a YouTube Channel under the name “GO! WalksPortugal”. I make available virtual tours, travel vlogs, “tips & tricks” and other travel & living related content about Portugal… so JOIN ME THERE!
‍
I am obviously available for hire as a Tour Guide and Travel Consultant, so feel free to contact me ☺

[[en]]We did the walk of Coimbra and University in September. So pleased we did, as would never have got all the knowledge and history of Coimbra wandering around by ourselves. If you are going to Coimbra do the walk, we only had a night there but thoroughly enjoyed our stay and could've stayed longer.[[pt]]Nós fizemos a visita de Coimbra e da Universidade em Setembro. Estamos muito satisfeitos por o ter feito, visto que não teríamos obtido todo o conhecimento sobre a história de Coimbra passeando por nós mesmos. Se for a Coimbra faça esta visita, nós só passámos uma noite na cidade mas gostámos tanto que teríamos ficado mais tempo!

[[en]]Our tour guide was excellent. His knowledge of not just Coimbra, but Portugal in general its history and art, was superb. Being a university student himself, he entertained us with anecdotes about student lore and customs - all delivered in perfect English. Very highly recommended.[[pt]]O nosso guia foi excelente. O seu conhecimento de Coimbra, mas também da história e arte de Portugal, é soberbo. Tendo sido um estudante nesta Universidade, entreteu-nos com piadas sobre as tradições dos estudantes - sempre num inglès perfeito. Altamente recomendado!
