Traveler reviews
Unique and efficient day trip from Porto
Cuber and Marcia were a lovely duo. The trip was definitely efficient - don’t expect to spend a lot of free time at either location, but that was known when booking. Cuber accommodated for language preferences and the cities were cute and cool for a day trip from Porto! Morning window was nice because the sights were not too busy, but being sunscreen as it gets hot and sunny early!
Overall, very good
Our guide was Diego and our driver was Joel, who were very good. The places visited were interesting and we were given a good history lesson. However, during the planned stops en-route, it felt rushed without enough time to explore properly, so a recommendation might be to extend the time so people have more time to do more exploration. Kudos to Diego for doing the tour in both Spanish and English, as that can’t be easy.
Beautiful and entertaining
Fantastic tour, beautiful scenery and areas to visit full of history and unique culture and art. Our tour guide Mario Pinto was very knowledgable and entertaining. Highly recommended 👌
Supersaturday
It was wonderful. Really wish i had more time. Joel and Diego are a great team. I really enjoyed Diego interacting with the group.
excursion to Costa Nova
We visited Aveiro and Costa Nova for 4 hours with Cuber and the truth is that the experience was worth it, the guide was attentive with his explanations and even though it was for a short time we were able to visit Costa Nova and Aveiro
