Half-day from Porto to Aveiro’s Art Nouveau streets, a canal cruise on a moliceiro boat, Baroque cathedrals, and Costa Nova striped houses.
“My highlight of this tour were the pretty striped houses on the Costa Nova and our tour guide Pedro who was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind. If you’re looking to book this tour do not go with high expectations with the idea that this place will be like Venice as it definitely not and you cannot compare the two places.”

Douro Valley day trip from Porto with two boutique winery tastings, a traditional lunch, and a 1-hour Douro River boat tour via Pinhão.

Venue was small and congested there was no proper stage just a small podium room was rectangular and audience was seated on the two sides performers had there sides to the audience Not worth the money”
