Great tour! We had ... - Great tour! We had Carlos as our guide (English speaking group) and Tania for the Spanish speaking group). They were both pleasant, knowledgeable and patient. We left Porto on time to visit Aveiro, Costa Nova and Capela do Senhor da Pedra. We had a smooth bus ride all the way. I researched on a lot of tour providers and this company (Buendia Tours) offered the most value So I decided to book with them. I’m happy with the sights and experience we had.

Great day out from Porto - Great day out visiting beautiful Aveira with its canals and art deco houses. Also enjoyed the visit to Costa Nova do Prado to see the colourful buildings and the beautiful white sandy beach. Finally visit to the Chapel in the rocks with some great photos to take. Thank you to Maria for making it so interesting.

Enjoyable day! - It was October 29 in English and Spanish overall it was an excellent trip informative and organized. I really enjoyed Aveiro cosa nova. I wish we had more time in both of the towns. I did not enjoy the last stop. It was cool to see a chapel on the beach, but it was a run down town and it was quite a drive to go there. I would’ve preferred an option to just stay at aviero or at Cosa nova. Both the tour guide and the driver were very good.

Interesting places - Interesting places to see and well worth the visit. Maria, our guide was very nice and good. This tour again was in two languages (which was not indicated on the booking page) and I had booked the English language tour. It’s very hard to follow when the guide speaks in two different languages and switches back and forth. Also the group size was way too big. It should be half of that if not smaller.
