Not enough time to...
Not enough time to walk around Costa Nova, very beautiful village, good guide with Rita who spoke French
BEST TOUR EVER!
Ruta was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and friendly. We would recommend her anytime.
Not what I expected and wouldn't recommend
To be honest, I found this trip disappointing. I would say to a friend, only do it if you have done everything else you want to do in Porto. Aviero waterways were basically a ‘T’ shape and you went up and down each side, mostly bordered by a main road. The most picturesque length took you through the town for 10 minutes to turn round at an old factory and new multi-story hotel. Not at all what I’d expected. Our driver Manuel, was very knowledgeable and was interesting to listen to, but clearly loved using his hands to explain things and didn’t let the fact he was driving (at speed) stop him. We both felt the drive was rather alarming – not necessarily unsafe, but perhaps how you would drive yourself and not on an organized trip.

She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive, making the entire experience enjoyable and comfortable. Rita did a fantastic job guiding us, and we truly appreciated her effort and enthusiasm. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Aveiro and Costa Nova!
Trip to Aveiro and Costa Nova
Rita and Lucas were wonderful guides, and very knowledgeable. We had a great time, and Aveiro Costa Nova were beautiful. The coach van was very nice and comfortable.
