It was an excellent tour.The sites visited were excellent.The tour guide was excellent.We had an excellent LUNCH. I recommend this tour highly
The suspension bridge and Paiva walkways are an unique experience, highlighting the beautiful Portuguese countryside . The walk was about 8 kms long following the Paiva River , which was beautiful even on a rainy day .
Our guide Ricardo was friendly and attentive… helping in any way he could to make it a wonderful day . We enjoyed a delicious traditional lunch served family style
The tour ended with a boat ride in Aveiro and a quick stop at the pretty houses along the beach in Costa Nova
Full of highlights of the region.
This is such a wonderful tour! It’s a full day seeing all kinds of highlights in the region with lots of time to rest in between as you’re driven from place to place. Ricardo was a fantastic guide who made sure everyone was well taken care of.
