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.
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...
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié les paysages d'Aveiro ; c'est vraiment un endroit plein de petites surprises ! Nous sommes désolés que vous n'ayez pas pu visiter le marché aux poissons ; peut-être une prochaine fois ! À bientôt !
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.

Pedro made the trip enjoyable. We’re glad we did the 1/2 day (4 hours) because it just enough time to visit each town to see a bit & move on. We didn’t have time to have a sit down meal, but enjoy the areas anyway. We would recommend going.
