This tour takes you to Aveiro considered by many as the "Venice of Portugal" which is famous for its large network of canals running through the city. In this Tour you will also take a cruise on a "moliceiro" boat (a traditional boat from this city) which will take you along the channels as you admire the city’s unique tile facades. You will also have the opportunity to see the colorful houses in Costa Nova. Aveiro has a rich and varied gastronomy, and the “soft eggs” - a very sweet desert are also one the main representations of Aveiro.

A very pleasant afternoon out to Costa Nova and Aveiro . We went with Living Tours and our small group were driven in a comfortable Mercedes People Carrier bu Bruno who was our guide . He gave us interesting commentary about where we were going and what we were about to see . We stopped first at Costa Nova to see the striped fisherman’s houses and had time to stroll around , take photos and have an ice cream. The. We went to Aveiro for a 45 minute cruise in a gondola on the canal . We then had about 30 minutes free time before being driven back to Porto. It is Portugal’s answer to Venice and didn’t disappoint! I recommend this tour .

Our guide was Andre. He was very welcoming and asked where we were from. Made us feel relaxed. He gave us a rough itinerary as we set off so we knew what to expect.
His driving was very reassuring even though he was able to narrate the day at the same time.
Loved the small things he pointed out along the way, like the cranes nesting beside the motorway. Great value for money and the places we saw and experienced.
The only thing that needed improving is the name of the company on the communications isn't the name on the tourist office. So we were a little confused initially.
Great experience overall.

What a special morning tour with guide Bruno, and driver Sergio. I'm only in Porto for a day and 1/2, so I was picky about what I wanted to do. I chose this tour to have a chance to see something outside of the city. Both of the communities were interesting and beautiful. Bruno had some great knowledge of the areas. I not only enjoyed myself, but I learned so much. My only comment was the short time frame given to explore...but I understand it was only a short 1/2 day. So my recommendation is if you have time - take the longer tour.

Une excursion exceptionnelle en qualité. Nous avons quasiment eu une visite privée car Josée Luis notre guide nous a accompagné en mini van dans lequel nous étions juste 6 personnes pour cette excursion à Aveiro et Costa Nova. José Luis a tout fait pour rendre cette excursion la plus complète possible. Il nous a permis d'aller sur la magnifique plage de Costa Nova, nous avons pu découvrir les magnifiques maisons en bois colorées avec un petit temps libre pour pouvoir prendre des photos et déguster une très bonne glace selon les recommandations de José puis nous sommes allés à Aveiro pour une découverte de cette magnifique petite ville en barque sur les canaux avec ensuite une visite du centre à pied avec les explications complètes et très instructives de José et un petit moment libre pour quelques emplettes. Tout était parfait jusqu'au trajet retour où José nous a fait découvrir plusieurs chanteurs et chanteuses de Fado classiques ou plus modernes et surtout avec une arrivée sur Porto personnalisée pour pouvoir découvrir les ponts par le bas du fleuve.
Magnifique.
Je vous recommande cette excursion toute en français avec Josée chez living Tours Porto

Joana did a really good job! I was fascinated about how good she explained everything and how huge her knowledge about Porto is. We took my three month old daughter with us and Joana made us feel so comfortable eventhough she cried a little. ( The daughter, not Joana 😉) We saw a lot of nice spots. I recommend

If you want a quick look at Aveiro and Costa Nova, do this trip. Our guide, Bernardo was friendly. He gave interesting information on Portugal on the bus ride to Aveiro. Ferro was an excellent driver as well as friendly.
