We were not too impressed with the boat cruise. The boat was lovely but there was nothing much to see on the canals, I recommend giving people the option if they want the boat tour or more time in Aveiro. The walk around Aveiro was nice but very rushed, not much time on our own. We did not take the lunch however there was still no time to see around.

My highlight of this tour were the pretty striped houses on the Costa Nova and our tour guide Pedro who was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind. If you’re looking to book this tour do not go with high expectations with the idea that this place will be like Venice as it definitely not and you cannot compare the two places.
