Tour Reviews
Es war alles sehr schön! Nur die Fahrweise fanden wir riskant- zuwenig Abstand von anderen Fahrzeugen, knappe Überholmanöver, zu schnelles Fahren.
Mauro our tour guide was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting stories and facts about the cultural of Portugal. I had a really great time and the lunch at local restaurant was delicious too.
Lovely tour with a wide range of different Adventures. Highly recommended.
Sehr abwechslungsreicher Tagesausflug mit Abenteuer, Natur, Sonne und Meer. Wir waren begeistert. Thomas war ein super Tourguide und wir haben während der Fahrt viel gelernt.
Excellent day trip! The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The Arouca Bridge and the Paiva Walkways give access to the beautiful Paiva River valley and surrounding hills/mountains. A delicious lunch in Arouca was followed by a visit to the colorful houses in Costa Nova, a ride on the canals of Aveiro in a moliceiro (a colorfully painted gondola-style boat), and some time to explore Aveiro. Highly recommend.
It was a fantastic travelling experience. We had a great guide, Tomas, who was perfect with the schedule and made sure we had ample time to have a fullfilling experience at each of the destinations. He also has a pleasant attitude and actively talks about the history, culture and background about the places we visited and Portugal in general, which made the visits even more enriching. They had arranged a delicious lunch at Arouca involving local cuisine. Tomas was also great with my 8-year old daughter who enjoyed the trip a lot. Overall, i would strongly recommend this tour with these folks, either as solo travellers or with families, for those who love courtry-side, mountains, and culture.
