Private Aveiro & Costa Nova Coastal Tour From Porto

After checking a few tour companies, I chose Endless Wknd Tours as they indicated they could be flexible to our needs. From the start (we were to start at 9am but I rang and asked to start earlier and off we went at 8:30), Carlos, our guide, was friendly, very informative and keen to give us the best tour possible. He was filled with information, anecdotes and made certain we saw as much as possible within our time frame without feeling rushed. As I indicated my interest was photography, he was keen to make certain I had one opportunity after another in enjoying and absorbing what we were seeing. He really made the day special. I would strongly recommend this company and particularly Carlos who could not do enough .... and we had some good laughs along the way. And, the places we went were absolutely top notch.

Aveiro and Costa Nova should not be missed. The tour was a wonderful and informative experience, but Alex added a positive “entertaining” dimension that was beyond compare. Put him on your list if you want to visit the area.

What a great day with Carlos! While Aveiro was such a quaint sweet town and Costa Nova had a beautiful beach our favorite stop was the Salt farm. The salt farm was so cool. This is how salt was harvested back in Roman times. So exciting to see the ingenuity from 100s of years ago in action. We appreciate the people who took initiative to reopen this farm. We hope they are able to keep it open. It is worth a stop if you are in the area.

Delphine, our guide, has a wonderful personality who offered kind and thoughtful gestures throughout the day. The city, architecture, guided canal tour were all lovely to see…a superb day.

My friends and I had a great time. Our tour guide was very nice, patient, knowledgeable and had a good time getting to know each other. Also gave us ideas for other tours and sites to see.

The tour guide, Carlos, was very nice, patient, professional and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure getting to know each other and receiving advice on other sites and tours to reserve in the future.

Our driver Carlos was friendly and very knowledgeable. He took pictures of our group as we went by in the boat and allowed us to personalize our tour to or interests. I would highly recommend this tour.

This tour was excellent! Our tour guide Carlos was very friendly and super knowledgeable!! He gave us some excellent suggestions to personalized our tour. It was a great day and he was an awesome guide! I would highly recommend this tour!😍

We were picked up at our Porto hotel and everything was excellent. Carlos took us to all the interesting places and we could stop for any reasonable time. Aveiro is beautiful and full of colour. The area by the old fish market is particularly colourful. Note, many tourist shops close for lunch and the park area by the quay is being renovated. They would not stop me recommending this trip with Carlos. All in all an excellent escape from the big city to a quieter but equally interesting destination. Of our 3 days in Porto, this was our favourite!

The tour with Carlos was exceptional. We went to Aveiro and toured around. Had a tasty Portuguese treat at a bakery and took photos of the boats in the canals. We then went to costa Nova to see the striped houses had a lovely lunch and saw the powerful waves in the ocean. Then went on a ferry to a natural parkland. He also stopped for us to take photos of the colourful boats. Toured Gaia as well. Carlos is a wonderful tour guide and answered many questions about Porto and Gaia. I would highly recommend his tours to everyone. Thanks Carlos for an amazing day.

This was an absolutely great tour choice. I loved the diversity of sites offered. Sites and activities included the train station, the salt fields, the opportunity to enjoy a gondola ride at an additional cost, the Costa Nova houses, and many more. The fish market, also on the itinerary, was closed, so we could not visit. Carlos was extremely informative on many subjects, timely, and had very good English. The only reason I gave the tour a four rather than a five was because I was expecting to return to the hotel at 6:00 and when we were back at the hotel at 4:30, I wondered why. I checked the itinerary and discovered that the last visit listed on the agenda was a 45 minute stop at an animal sanctuary. No mention was made as to why this was not included. I was disappointed by this omission.

This was day two of private touring with Carlos. After the full day in Fatima, we talked about other places I hoped to see and together, a very personalized tour developed. It would be a long day and yet Carlos had no complaint but to make my stay special and personalized to answer my hopes. Again, I recommend him to solo travelers for easy, safe, comfortable touring with attention to specialized touring. Absolutely Incredible day!! Too many pictures to choose from.

Carlos did very best to introduce the beauty of Portugal and we can enjoy the places so much. We do feel Carlos trueheartedly treat us very well and give very special care to my kid. Would definitely join his tour again next time when I go Portugal again. He is really professional!

Carlos is an excellent and interesting storyteller. Gave us a lot of good advice. It was a nice ride. Frankly, in Aveira you may not go boating, we have not seen or learned anything interesting or useful, but it is not a question for Carlos or his agency, it is a question for the guys who organize boating. Other than that, it's fine.

Very interesting tour especially thanks to our guide Carlos: very kind, friendly, extremely prepared in telling us about the peculiarities of this area and in answering all our curiosities. It was a pleasure to discover this area, thank you very much Carlos, see you on the next tour!
