Great way to see the highlights of Aveiro and Coimbra in one day! - Great way to see the highlights of Aveiro and Coimbra in one day. Our guide Tiago gave us just enough information at each place to keep it interesting but not too much to make it boring. Small group tour, just 7 people made it easy to keep track of everyone and stay on schedule. Lunch stop at Meta dos Leitoes was fantastic!

Great tour on an awful weather day. - Our guide was fabulous. In the morning it rained cats and dogs with no sign of a let up. Her energy was infectious and her flexibility meant that when the sky’s cleared in the afternoon we had some wonderful walk-about and lunch. We didn’t miss anything and didn’t get soaked to the bone. Great day trip

Aveiro and Coimbra in a day - Alex was a good driver and very knowledgeable, with good English. He anticipated the weather without any prompting and rearranged the tour route so our stop in Aveiro, with an open top boat ride, was undertaken in the dry. Coimbra was very interesting and would recommend the additional fee for the visit to the palace, church and library. All in all a great tour.

A good one day getaway - Alex was very professional and informative. He is apparently a Porto native. We were lucky to have a small group with just one other couple.

Great day trip to Combria and Aveiro - We had a great trip to Coimbra and Aveiro with Alex. Car was very comfortable, Alex was everywhere on time, very courteous and knowledgeable with excellent English. We booked entrance to Coimbra library, had time to see the town and had a great trip on a canal in Aveiro. Excellent day trip to see historical sites outside of Porto. Thanks, Alex!

Pleasant - Alex has been a friendly and very nice guide. It answered all the doubts we had and has taken us to the most interesting areas but we consider that the excursion is a bit expensive for what it really offers. If you go to Coimbra you have to pay the visit to the University and whatnot (which is worth it). It would also have been nice to be able to spend more time in each city because in the page says it lasts a day and we have been from 8:00 am to 17:00 (counting the hours of car). We stressed Alex’s kindness but also missed more explanations and context of the places we have visited.
