Xavier was a fantastic tour guide and was very insightful and informative. I wish this tour was an hour longer as there was not enough time to explore.

The Guide didn´t have a microphone, so he said he was not going to talk. We just sit and went to Aveiro with no information at all. It was really sad. We had to Google everything about Aveiro
