Great day trip to Venice of Portugal - Tiago was both an excellent driver and a multilingual guide__English, French and Spanish! Provided lots of interesting information on Portugal, Porto and Aviero. Suggested great seafood restaurants and yummy gelato too. Managed to accommodate a group ranging in age from 10 to 80 plus. Quite a feat!! Highly recommend!

Fun day with Maria! - Maria our tour guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable! Overall, we enjoyed our tour day, especially the Coimbra part. The university including the famous library was a highlight. The full day tour was a little long and we weren’t as crazy about Aveiro. Not a lot to see on the Aveiro river cruise.

Great but short - The guide was very professional and friendly. We had a great day and we were a small group. The only thing is that I would have liked some more time in Aveiro to get a better idea and explore a bit more. It would be perfect if the tour was 2h longer, I think :)
