Traveler reviews
Nice
The tour guide Susaiua / Fravco is very nice and so helpful for us.I will recommend to my friend to join this tour again!!
A great Journey with a great guide.
Traveling with our driver and guide, Diogo, was an excellent experience. Our discussions on the way to Aveiro varied from past history of Aveiro and Costa Nova to modern day issues of Portuguese life. Diogo was extremely knowledgeable and we learned quite a lot. The Aveiro stop included a canal tour, and yes as people say its not Venice, but Aveiro is small, quaint and that was just right. Our Canal guide Alex was courteous and intelligent. A note: we left our souvenir photo in Diogo’s vehicle. But Living Tours reached out to Diogo, who located it and drove all the way back to our hotel and dropped it off for us. Its the big things that make a tour good. But sometimes its the small things that make it great. Thank you Diogo, Living tours and beautiful Aveiro. Now wherek’s that box of Ovos Moles???
Aveiro is Beautiful
Fred our tour guide was exceptional, he took the time to explain Porto, Aveiro and Costa Nova. He made the tour fun as well. Highly recommend this tour Aveiro was beautiful
A nice day by the coast
This tour was a lovely way to spend an afternoon away from the bustle of Porto. Both locations were pretty. Our guide, Rui, was very helpful and we had great conversations with him about Portugal. He also was kind enough to give us recommendations for great meals in Porto.
Lots to see and little walking
If you want a tour where you’ll see a lot of stuff in a short amount of time, this is the tour for you. We paired it with a walking tour of Porto in the morning. This tour will take you briefly to a little beach town with striped colorful houses (Costa Nova) and then to a small and cute city (Aveiro) about an hour south of Porto. We got to try raivas (small biscuits that are sweet and salty) and ovos molhos (soft eggs is the translation, which is a sweet like the famous egg custard tart. Bruno Camposi was a really nice tour guide. He even ran to grab a jacket someone forgot on the boat tour in Aveiro. Rui was a good driver and kind.
