Aveiro and Coimbra day trip - Wonderful day (4 friends and our guide Giselle). On time pickup and interesting drive to Aveiro with good descriptions of countryside and history. Nice boat ride in canal at Aviero and delicious stop at pastries/coffee shop. Drove to Coimbra with excellent walking tour of university and historical town. Authentic Portuguese lunch was a highlight. Our guide was knowledgeable and very helpful

Full Day To Aveiro, Coimbra, and Costa Nova with Joao J. is A MUST - Spending a full day with Joao Jesus was amazing. He was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were lifelong friends. The drives to Aveiro, Coimbra, and Costa Nova went by quickly based on the easy conversation. Joao even took us to a local suckling pig restaurant recommended by our Portuguese friends. You could tell that Joao studies and puts his full effort into his profession. We highly recommend.

Fantastic day with phenomenal guide! - This is a great way to experience two very different towns in Portugal. Our enjoyment was greatly enhanced by our wonderful guide João, whose enthusiasm and deep knowledge helped us to appreciate Aveiro and Coimbra beyond each town’s obvious beauty and charm. We also appreciated how flexible João was, providing plenty of opportunities to shape the tour to our particular interests and providing time for us to soak up the atmosphere. From pickup to drop off, everything about this day was special.

Aveiro and Coimbra University - Amazing! - This tour was outstanding! Ines and Gisela were amazing guides and Ines was a great driver. Ines’s knowledge of the area and region were remarkable. My husband is a photographer and she did everything she could to get him good shots of the countryside, Flamingoes, and salt plains. We were so impressed with both of them and this was the best tour we’ve taken in Portugal (we’ve been on 3 so far). I would highly recommend this tour and ensure you have tickets to the Coimbra University. This is not to be missed. From the bottom of our hearts, Obrigado, Ines and Gisela!
