This was a wonderful tour. Diana provided a wealth of information and the activities provided were enjoyable and gave us a different view of the region. The additional activities going to the chapels enriched the tour

Nice tour, very comfortable, but the guide didn't really seem like a guide; they told very little and often didn't even speak English as described, tending to speak French due to the presence of other people in the group who spoke it.
Four of us went on this tour (2 couples) and Pedro was our guide. He’s super knowledgeable about Portuguese history and culture and is so funny. He made our 45 min trip to Aviero entertaining and informative. The tour itself was also amazing. Casa Nova and Aviero are great local beach towns. Our first stop was a lighthouse, then on the Aviero, then a church on the beach. We had about 3 hours in Aviero to explore on our own, but Pedro offered a ton of suggestions and recommendations. We loved Pedro so much we booked a Duoro Valley tour with him the next day.
Excellent tour, especially Antonio the driver and guide, truly skilled and professional; he took us to discover the places with friendliness, courtesy, and great professionalism.
We did a full day tour visiting Costa Nova, Aveiro, Velega & Senhor de pedra. Our host for the day was Antonio who was really knowledgeable, spoke so many different languages which was really impressive! It was a small tour of 7 people, Aveiro was definitely my favourite, absolutely stunning place. We had a few hours there where we rode the Gondola, had lunch and had a look around, just beautiful. Costa Nova was gorgeous with all the striped houses. Velega is probably the most stunning church I have ever seen, the entire building covered in mosaic tiles both inside and out, breathtaking 😍 Senhor de Pedra was also beautiful, when the tide comes in making the church appear to be floating in the sea. A fantastic full day trip not be missed! Thank you Antonio!

Luis was a lovely guide and the trip was great. Lots of free time to wander but Luis was on hand if you needed anything. He was full of useful information and very knowledgable. We especially loved art nouveau architecture hunting in Aveiro. Highly recommended

Luis accompanied us on this delightful tour of the Coast that we highly recommend! He entertained us but at the same time left us free to be able to enjoy the local attractions. Absolutely recommended!

We really enjoyed our day with Antonio to Aveiro, Costa Nova and the Atlantic coast. The van was very comfortable and Antonio's interesting commentary left us much wiser about so many things. He was kind and patient and gave us plenty of free time in each place, making helpful suggestions about things to see, places to eat etc. We were very fortunate as the two other passengers didn't turn up so it was like a private tour. I would highly recommend this company and Antonio Bras, the guide, in particular. Thank you for a great day out.
Dear Traveler, It's wonderful to know that Antonio helped make the experience so enjoyable and that his knowledge, patience and thoughtful approach made you feel well looked after throughout the day.

Lovely small group tour , informative guide and driver . Lots of interesting facts - would have preferred a shorter visit in Aveiro and a bit longer at the beach but only because the weather was so nice .
