Additional Information

We provide you the chance to explore two mesmerizing northern Portuguese cities:

Departing from Porto, after an hour’s journey, you’ll get to know Aveiro, affectionately known as ‘little Venice’, separated into two halves by its three canals. Here, we will embark on a 1-hour guided excursion, appreciating its architectural marvels, exploring the antique residences of fishermen and the historical edifices of the town.

Following this, we will enjoy a 45-minute ride on one of the local ‘Moliceiros’ boats, with a design akin to Venetian gondolas. After this tour, you’ll have spare time to roam around the town.

Next, we wave goodbyes to Aveiro and steer towards Costa Nova, home to one of the most breathtaking beaches in Portugal, celebrated for the distinctive striped dwellings dotting the bay. Here, we will engage in another one-hour guided tour, capturing necessary photos, then we will proceed back to Porto, carrying back memories to treasure, reserve your spot now!

Very good tour - We were able to do all the activities on the itinerary and an extra at the end. The guide, Pedro, gave interesting information and answered any questions we had. We liked it a lot. The tour has an agile pace, it is not that they rush you through the points to visit, and the guide we had was friendly, but I recommend being able to walk at a sustained pace. Very good experience.
