Aveiro, Pasadizos del Paiva & Puente Arouca 516

Amazing tour not to be missed
Wonderful day from start to finish for all you see on this tour! Suspension bridge and walkways were spectacular! Aveiro was a wonderful town for boat ride! Traditional Portuguese lunch was delicious. Mauro our guide was amazing and attentive to all of us.

Paiva Walkways: not to be missed
A very nice day. Good weather. A nice group of 8 people. The walkways were spectecular. 5 kilometers in total. And then a nice portugese meal with drinks. On to Costa Nova. Beautiful. And on to Aveiro. Oud guide Mauro was taking good care of us. A boat-ride was special. A lot of explanation. In a city with all good stores, like Guess, Springfield etc

Excellent trip, even despite the weather 😊.

C’était génial ! L’organisation de l’activité était parfaite du début à la fin. Lorsqu’on prenait la route dans le van, nous avons eu droit à plein d’explication sur la ville de Porto, c’était très intéressant. Le guide était très gentil et drôle ! Je recommande vraiment cette activité ! 🙂

We had the perfect weather for this trip and it was an incredible day. Really well thought out and hosted by our guide, seeing some of the most amazing views in Portugal.

What a wonderful day! João was so knowledgeable and I appreciated his historical commentary as we traveled to each location. And the walkways are beautiful!

Vraiment merveilleux, on fait beaucoup de choses différentes dans la même journée mais on ne se sent pas du tout pressé ! Tout le monde va à son rythme 🙂 et Norberto est une perle !!!

A must do day trip
This was a great trip away from Porto. Getting out into the country to see the beautiful villages and landscape of northern Portugal. The suspension bridge and walkway was an exciting experience. Not too strenuous, but still a good bit of walking. Our lunch stop in the town of Arouca was amazing. One of my favorite meals I had during my entire Portugal trip!

The afternoon stops in Costa Nova and Aveiro were great additions to see different parts of Portugal. Including them for the afternoon on this trip felt like the perfect amount of time to see everything without feeling rushed or starved for things to do.

Our guide, Norberto was really what made this trip spectacular. He was extremely knowledgeable, giving great insight into everything we saw and made sure we all were having a good time. A nice addition for the van rides was his use of a headset connected to the van speakers. It helped ensure everyone could hear all his great information.

The day was amazing! We also had a great guide: Luis! He is so friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. He explained to us so many things about Portugal and the areas we visited. We asked him lot of questions and he was happy to answer and guide us properly. He advised us on best places to visit and to make our experience the best in Portugal. I highly recommend Luis. Paiva walkways are a must do! Views are amazing and the weather was perfect for the walk in the nature, by the river and with the high amazing views from the bridge. Aveiro was an enjoyable experience as well including the river cruise. Lunch was delicious alongside the green wine. We also visited Costa Nova and saw the lagoon and ocean. It was a great day indeed!

It was a good trip being able to do the suspension bridge, walk the Paiva walkways as well as visiting Costa Nova and Aveiro.

Hidden Treasures of Portugal
Norberto was an excellent guide and provided us with so many interesting facts and so much history. Had it not been raining when we crossed the swing bridge; the experience would have been a perfect day. We saw a hidden side of Portugal that included crossing the swing bridge, a beautiful 3 mile hike with waterfalls, a delicious Portugal meal in a typical local restaurant, a trip to Costa Nova and a boat ride through the little canals of the quaint town of Aveiro which is like a little Venice. All in all, Norberto made this day very fun and memorable! We also enjoyed getting away from the busyness of the city of Porto!

What a great experience! Norberto is a super knowledgeable guide with obvious love for Portugal. He explains all expectations and understands when comfort breaks are needed. Norberto will take you from the mountains to the sea in just one experience. I recommend this experience with all my heart and soul. I promise you will not be disappointed. Just remember Portugal is a very hilly. You will be walking up a couple of pretty steep hills. Wear good shoes and if you aren’t in the best of shape or aren’t use to climbing steep inclines your thighs will be angry with you the next day.
