Beautiful Costa Nova & Aveiro - A beautiful trip to Aveiro, the beach and two historic churches. The description is off however.. the first stop at the beach and coast was advertised as one hour, and we only got half that time. Ten minutes max at the first beach. The highlight of the trip was at the end, at Senhor de Pedra Chapel in Gaia circa 1686.. It was built out into the sea and you have to run through the tide to reach the steps and church. Thrilling and beautiful. Our guide Johnny was lovely.

Interesting - Overall it was a very nice experience wirh a lot of interesting stops and information. One minuspoint would be that the collegues of living tours were constantly talking which made it difficult for us to follow the door. Still I would recommend this tour and tourguide alexia!!

Very hasty. - I found too many destinations in a very short time, in the group there were different languages so the guide was slow to explain and lost free time. I wouldn't repeat
