Beautiful day out

Lovely trip, really worth going on and the guide was great, and so funny too. The only one downside I would say, is I would have loved 45 mins-1hour free time, as it felt a little rushed. Don’t however let this put you off the trip

Interesting excursion

A comfortable way to see Aveiro and Costa Nova in one afternoon. The guide, André, was very pleasant and spoke perfect Spanish and English.

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...
