Discover Coimbra a must Unesco site and visit Aveiro, the Portuguese Venice!
Aveiro, the so called “Portuguese Venice”, is quite different from any other city in this country. It is a colorful, charming and romantic city, and strolling through the “little Venice” canals onboard of a “moliceiro” – the traditional boats – will make it memorable and unique!
Before heading Coimbra, we'll visit Costa Nova, the magnificent fishing village with wooden houses in bright striped colors. A must see!
By being someone passionate about history, I'll make sure Coimbra will be an unforgettable experience for you. We'll wander around the old quarter and walk up the medieval streets. Arriving at the University, the oldest in this country and official residence of our first King, you'll embrace an historical epic tour!
Besides the Royal Palace, and S. Michael Chapel, I'll also guide you through the Joanina Library: a masterpiece of the Baroque style and one of the most beautiful and valuable libraries in the world!

Tour Reviews
Norberto was wonderfully flexible. He was informative and passionate about the history of Portugal. He gave us wonderful insights about the places we visited. All in all, Norberto was a great guide.
Norberto was a great companion on our tour of Coimbra and Aveiro. He took special care of our needs, and there was never a dull moment in our conversations along the way. I highly recommend Norberto as a tour guide during anyone’s stay in Porto, Portugal.
Norberto drove us six ladies from Lisbon to Porto with a full day tour along the way. He was a great tour guide, excellent company, and kept us all awake (while we fought off jetlag) with intelligent conversation about Portugal, Europe, Africa and beyond! He joined us for an authentic Portuguese lunch in Aveiro, and even organized a canal ride. Such a charming man. We cannot recommend him highly enough!
The best way to visit two beautiful towns!
We had an excellent time! We visited Aveiro, Costa Nova and Coimbra. The tour description on the site is very accurate and Norberto is a great guide and a great guy! We felt like we are having a tour by a local friend, and by the end of the day we felt like we had made a new friend. We enjoyed the tour, the moliceiro ride in Aveiro, the lunch at a local restaurant, and the beautiful town of Coimbra. We would definitely recommend this tour!
