A fun day. The suspension bridge and Paiva Walkway were the highlights. - Joao was an exceptional tour guide. He had so much knowledge about our activities and was so pleasant to be around. He made everyone feel very comfortable. A wonderful and busy day.

A wonderful excursion! - A great trip from start to finish. Dani our guide gave everyone a warm welcome and was an amazing guide throughout the day. His commentary was entertaining and really interesting. The tour was such good value and the bridge and walk way were the highlight for me. Lunch was great too - lovely food and plenty of wine or water.

Amazing experience with lovely views - I really loved this tour led by Tomas, he shared a lot of really interesting facts about the places we visited, history and about Porto and Portugal in general. The suspension bridge and walkways had so many beautiful views. Really enjoyed the traditional lunch which included some amazingly tender and flavourful roasted beef (there was a veggie option) and Vino Verde too. The visit to costa nova to see the beach/striped houses was a nice inclusion too and liked the boat tour in Aveiro as a good way to see the city.

What an incredible day!... - What an incredible day! Tomas took us to the Paiva Walkways (stunning views and that epic suspension bridge!), the colorful striped houses of Costa Nova, and the charming canals of Aveiro. He kept the whole day fun with great stories, local tips, and plenty of laughs. We never felt rushed, and every stop was even better than the last. Tomas is not just a guide, he’s the kind of person you instantly feel like a friend with. If you want a day full of beauty, adventure, and great vibes — this is the tour to book!

Amazing trip! - This was a great trip! I recommend it. Danny, our tour guide was super fun. The towns were lovely and beautiful, the bridge scary at first (for me- everyone else was loving it - lol) but a great adventure. Loved it!

Great day for a hike and to explore - 4 completely different experiences in one trip. The brochure is accurate. Drivers and staff very helpful and informative. Had three 8 person vans who traveled together and got to meet interesting people.

Wanted to be active - Our tour guide Arnaldo was excellent, he was very informative, and friendly. It was a great break from most tours where you sit all day long. We stopped at some really nice beach towns and a really nice spot for lunch.

Day trip - Brilliant tour with Joao yesterday, he is friendly and informative. I didn’t make it across the suspension bridge but my husband did and he enjoyed it. The walkways were peaceful and pretty with many steps. Costa Nova was nice but my favourite place was Aveiro, I could have spent more time there and the boat trip along the canals was great.
