Aveiro, Costa Nova Beach And Moliceiro Boat, Half-day From Coimbra

Our tour guide communicated very well about pick up. Monica was very professional, informative and super friendly

Was perfect, punctuality, serious, nicely , and very kind, he is really good, he knows the city, historic and legends of the town, very puntualy

Despite takong this tour on a rainy October day, we enjoyed our introduction to Aveiro and the nearby beach town. Xavier is a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide who made sure we had the best experience possible. From a tasty Portuguese bakery treat to the canal tour around this sweet town, all was enjoyable. We can see why this is a popular summer vacation spot.

Pedro was a fantastic guide and the tour was wonderful! Aveiro is a very lovely town and the boat trip was the perfect way to see it and learn more history. The beach and lighthouse at Barra were very special to see. And the striped colorful houses and restaurants of Costa Nova were as charming as a town could possibly be!! Loved it!! Pedro was so extremely knowledgeable about all of Portugal and shared great insight on culture, history, food and wine, and tips for tourists. He deserves 10 stars!!

Xavier was an outstanding guide. He knew the history of Aveiro and Costa Nova and all of its details. The boat ride through the canals was a beautiful experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend the half-day trip from Coimbra to the beautiful coastal city of Aveira. Gliding through the network of canals of the city on a traditional Moliceiro boat was relaxing and delightful. Our personable and knowledgeable guide, Xavier, took us to the vibrant main square of the old town of Aveira and the beautiful Barra and Costa Nova beaches. The colourful striped houses in Costa Nova are unique and reminiscent of the brightly painted houses in St. John’s, Newfoundland in Canada. Ellen and Ryan, Canada

The trip was amazing and our guide was as well. Beautiful sandy beaches and a relaxing boat ride. Made us want to spend more time in the area.

Great half day tour to lovely Aveiro, and Costa Nova. Both charming places. The Costa Nova houses are a must see, so bright and colorful. The guide was very good and was engaging and personable. He explained all the history & places of interest along the way. Certainly a good way to see such places.

We had a very nice morning tour from Coimbra. Our guide was Xavier. He picked us up and dropped us off at our front door which was very helpful. He shared a lot of information about the area. The Moliceiro boat ride was very pleasant. We stopped at 2 beaches: Barra and Costa Nova, a good place for vacation. We liked the local pastry with a rich filling that Xavier offered at the end of our tour. Thank you, Xavier.

Very nice tour. Guide was very nice and provided good information about the sights we were seeing. Boat tour was interesting and the beaches were beautiful.

Our family very much enjoyed the visit to Aveiro to ride the boats and our guide was very friendly and happy to answer our questions. He took us to the beach at Casta Nova and taught us a little bit about the history of the area. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

This was one of three tours we booked with Xavier, He is an absolutely amazing host and guide. The entire experience was perfect. The door to door service from our hotel in Porto to our hotel in Coimbra was greatly appreciated, He arranged a nice boat ride for us and then drove us around Costa Nova. While he is not an official guide he is incredibly knowledgeable, He arranged a guide in Coimbra to give us a walking tour of the university and the historic old town. In our travels we have seldom come across such an exceptional person. We are telling our friends to contact him when they travel to Portugal.

Loved the Aveiro fish market, canal boat tour and coffee/pastry experience. Overall experience was exceptional with the added personal experience from our guide, Xavior. Created memories that eill endure!

It was well organized and the guides were very personable and informative.

Costa Nova is a beach in Aveiro, with typical little houses with very bright colors, very nice to see. The beach is wide, open and windy and the sea is very rough and dangerous and we were told that the water is very cold. It is full of apartments for rent in the summer. You eat tripe with chocolate at little stands, it's like a pancake but thicker. The millers ride in Aveiro is a tour of the canals and you can do it but it doesn't offer much.

Cher pour la qualité de la prestation servie. Manque de renseignements sur le mode de transport ( Mercedes Vito) Gentillesse du guide mais doit absolument perfectionner son Français.

Excellent tour in the Aveiro area. Xavier is a guide with a lot of knowledge about the history of Aveiro, very affable and flexible in the way he organized our tour. Result: unforgettable memories. I recommend

Puntualidad, conocimiento y excelente trato. Muy bueno el paseo en el moliceiro. Costa Nova y sus playas disfrutables. Descubrir desarrollo de las variadas industrias en Aveiro.

The tour went very well, Javier picked us up at our hotel at the indicated time and we went to Aveiro, where we did a tour in moliceiro and visited a pastry shop where the typical sweet is made.Then we went to beach in barra and costa nova, at all times Javier explained us and gave information of everything, I recommend it 100%
