Lovely way to explore outside of Porto - Lovely way to get out of Porto and visit some more local and relaxed towns/cities. The Art Deco buildings in Averio are beautiful! In your free time make sure you visit graveyard! As you have a couple of hours free time make sure you check opening times before selecting your day for trip as done were closed on Monday. Loved the little canal trip and costa nova was picturesque! Great guide I think Alain & driver Lourdes.

Wonderful Tour - We really enjoyed our tour of Aveiro and Costa Nova. Our tour guides María and Carlos were very knowledgeable. Capela do Senhor da Pedra was stunning! On the bus the tour was provided in both English and Spanish. To ensure all guests get the most out of the tour, I would recommend the tour guides ask guests to be respectful when they are providing the information in both languages as people were talking loudly during the English explanation making it hard to hear. Upon arrival in Aveiro, the groups were divided and had their own guide in their language. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour! - Alexander did a great job! We did think we were on an English tour but he was super fluent and went between Spanish and English easily so we got used to it pretty quickly. I thought he handled our group well as it poured during the entire tour and he still managed to make it fun and informative! Its well worth the extra road time to see the chapel on the beach at the end... its spectacular! So glad we had time for this tour during our trip and we were still back in time for dinner and some evening exploring!

Beautiful Aveiro with cruise, Costa Nova, Capelha de Senhor de Pdra - Really liked the places we visited with ample time at each location. We had Lourdes the driver and I forget the guide’s name. Driver was very good so was the guide. The only complaint was that we asked to be put it an english group and it was mixed with many languages including portuguese, spanish and english. At times, I felt we missed out on information.
