Well organised and enjoyable trip. However, could be improved by having a much shorter boat trip and more time to look around Aveiro. You don't see anything from the boat that you wouldn't see from walking around and at the moment it's really just views of building sites. The town is fun to explore.

The tour was good but a little rushed. It would have been better if we were in a group of the same language versus the guide having to explain in more than one language. It meant a lot of talking on the ride to the destination and much of it in a foreign language. Aside from that the places we visited were beautiful and worth seeing. Perhaps making this tour an extra hour longer would give more time in each stop (1 hour versus 30 min if free time at each place).

Carlos was a wonderful guide, switching effortlessly from French to English to cater to the small group I was in. He was very knowledgeable about the route to Aveiro and Costa Nova pointing out lots of interesting things on the way. Costa Nova was very pretty, you can take a short walk to the beach or look at the painted houses/ shops. The boat ride in Aveiro was fun the boats were lovely and very spacious. The ride was very smooth and it was a good way to experience the town. I enjoyed walking around the town itself, there are many beautiful Art Deco buildings and I could quite happily have stayed a little longer. The vehicle we travelled in was comfortable and cool. Carlos gave us some water for the journey back which was wonderful as it was a very hot day.
