Louis was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. The trip to two other towns near Porto was relaxing and interesting making it a nice activity for a change of pace. The canals in Aviero aren’t spectacular but we enjoyed it and had a very good guide on the boat also.

This was our second tour in 2 days with Jose C. as our guide. The tour was wonderful. Despite the rain during the cruise - Alex, the guide on the cruise, was friendly and entertaining. Jose showed us around Aveiro and Costa Nova and he was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable.
