André was absolutely fantastic. At first, it left me completely at ease and proved completely available so I could live the experience to the fullest. In addition to teaching me the sport, André shared with me curiosities about the town of Vila do Conde as well as we stopped at beautiful spots in order to capture a unique look at the city. If you want to stand up paddle, Villa's Adventure is the right Enterprise for you!
I was surprised on my single farewell with a surprise paddle activity on Rio Ave with the Villa’s Adventure and me and my friends loved it! Our monitor André was very friendly with us and provided us with a 2h guided tour of the River Ave addressing historical points of the city. Funny and kind and still took us a lot of photos to remember! Gave us brief training on the paddle and was easy to learn! I highly recommend the experience! I repeated again!
Andre was an outstanding and generous host - Originally booked for a group of 7 through TripAdvisor, then one of the group dropped out, and there was some initial miscommunication via TripAdvisor (completely my fault) but he was easily contactable via the Instagram (@villasadventure) and rearranged the trip for 6. I have to thank him for his patience whilst booking! Everything was ready for our arrival and Andre was great fun, and was patient and compassionate with one member of our group who had never paddle boarded before and was struggling against the wind. His English was incredible (putting us to shame not knowing any Portuguese) and he also gave us some great recommendations to visit that evening (we were a hen party) and it was a lovely way to learn a little bit about Vila do Conde from a local. He was prompt at sending over photos after the session with the long list of recommendations. We were all tired after the two hours on the water but all for the right reasons, I would 100% recommend this trip.
We went like a bachelor's farewell. It was an incredible 2h experience. André (our monitor), was extremely friendly, professional, patient, fun and during the activity explained us the history of some points of Vila do Conde. I advise everyone to try and it is an experience to repeat.
Sympathy, professionalism, seriousness, good equipment and excellent communication. Nothing safer to explore the River Ave while enjoying the fantastic views over Vila do Conde. Experience with a group of friends to repeat, I highly recommend!! We are waiting for the photographic records ☺️
Just amazing!!! I highly recommend! An amazing city, full of life and also learn a lot about the history of Vila do Conde. All this done on a board. Thank you for the Service.
Me and my girlfriend went and enjoyed every single second of the activity. The Guide was amazing and helped my girlfriend learn to paddleboard as she has never done it before, he was a great teacher!!!! We did stand up paddle on a lovely river by the sea and even saw some old Portuguese boats and some lovely historic buildings! We massively enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone who is coming near or around Porto!!!! We believe we also made a friend in the experience aswell :)
An incredible experience, very fun, cultural and relaxing! To be realized both in family and/or friends, as well as individually!
We love the experience. A different way to get to know a little bit of the city and relax in contact with nature. We were only 2 people with the instructor André and no doubt that the accompaniment made the difference, at the end of 10 min we were both standing and was the first we did paddle :)
Great afternoon in Vila do Conde! Incredible and super relaxed experience with Andre and VIlla's Adventure. First time doing Stand Up Paddle and with Andre's instructions we managed to enjoy the maximum. New and quality material, photos taken during the experience and incredible views of Vila do Conde. They still carry a liqueur of history by the middle. I recommend 100%!
