Traveler reviews
Great experience
Lovely experience! Our tour to Aveiro was guided by Rita, an enthusiastic woman who shared so much information about the village. It was well organised, I would definitely book again.
Great half day tour.
Great day. Our Guide Rita was open and friendly and shared lots of history and information with us. Cruise was interesting and the town of Costa Nova wonderful to visit also. The vehicle was comfortable to ride in. Very happy with the tour.
A favorite for Nova Costa
Our guide Vitor was amazing!! He explained a lot of things to us about the history of Portugal!!! I learned a lot of things!! Aveiro is okay, but I fell in love with Costa Nova; I would have stayed there the rest of the day!! However, it is disappointing to go there on a Monday because the fish market is closed. A bit expensive for the tour...
Lovely Trip and Pleasant Experience
A euro was a beautiful place with wonderful tile work. We toured some great sites and our guide took care to make sure we saw great examples, such as the tiles at the train station and treats at a local cafe. The boat ride in the canals was enjoyable and that guide was also energetic, fun, and simply amazing. Costa Nova was an attractive town and worth the visit.
Averio, a hidden gem
Had a fabulous time. Averio was a surprise and delight. So beautiful the Veniceof Portugal and centre of Art Nouveau. Our guide Rita was informative, fun but still very professional. Highly recommend this hidden gem.
