Very disappointing trip not to be recommended

After several trips booked with Viator and we’ve always been pleased this has to be the most disappointing Considering it’s a half day trip we had to walk 20 mins to pick up the coach so lost half an hour before we even started Once we got to Aveiro we had just 15 minutes before the boat trip which just gave time to go to the bathroom Absolutely no time to look around Aveiro Once the boat trip ended we went to sample a local sweet treat before having to get on the coach again Once we got to Porto Nova again only a 20min stop and again if anyone needed the bathroom had to use that time Again no real time to look anywhere Very disappointing trip We booked an English speaking trip but had to share with Spanish group too Would NOT recommend this trip

Lovely half day trip to small fishing town. Great art nouveau architecture. Guide was very knowledgeable. Cost Nova is a beach town with interesting cottages We had heavy morning fog
