Wonderful day - Tiago was a knowledgeable guide who even took us on a side trip to a ceramics factory. He patiently answered all questions all day long. I even left my charger in his van, and he called me and we met up. Great trip as long as you have Tiago!

Beautiful area. Great guide and tour - We had a wonderful tour with Tiago. The listed sights were wonderful and his deep knowledge of the history, sights and local area made the day especially good. We have done quite a few tours in Portugal, and Tiago's knowledge and enthusiasm made it one of our favourites.

Pleasant day excursion from Porto - It is always hard to know how much time is used for the sights at hand but also to the necessary free time. This one did it fine. There was enough time for both. Of course it helps that the group is small, maximum eight, but only five in this case.. It was also good that we had more time for and in Coimbra as that had more to see. Coimbra, of course, is about 100 kms/60 miles south of Porto so there is some sitting in the car involved. Alex the guide was knowledgeable and he switched between Spanish and English easily, spoke clearly and loud enough. The timetable given was accurate. I would do this again.

Two enjoyable cities - We were a small group, but that made it more enjoyable. Our guide showed us all the sights and explained them very fully. The short cruise was also enjoyable. There was a bit of flexibility as I had to leave the tour early, much appreciated

Enjoyable Day Tour! - We enjoyed the day with our guide Maria. In Coimbra I wish we had a little more time to walk around. But we booked an optional tour of the University Library, which took up some of the leisure time. Aveiro was lovely with plenty of time for lunch, exploring, and canal boat trip. A very worthwhile and enjoyable trip.

University of Coimbra highly recommended - Excellent tour x University of Coimbra and city of Aveiro. Guide Thiago very attentive. The only bad thing is that you must buy a coimbra library ticket online at the start of the tour, and there was no ticket for everyone x so we could not visit it. Tour should cost a little more and include entrance ticket

Boring. - University tour was pretty boring. Canal cruise was pretty underwhelming. Our guide was kind but didn’t come along on all the sights.
