What began as an efficient travel solution turned into an exceptional experience! We were staying in Coimbra without a car, and had originally wanted to visit Aveiro/Costa Nova for a day, then travel to Porto a different day--both by rail--logistically challenging, but doable. Instead, we saved one travel day, and had a great time with Xavier.
Xavier picked us up at our hotel in Coimbra, and drove us to Aveiro, where we enjoyed a molicero boat ride. Then, he drove us to various sites around the town, including the beautiful beach and striped houses of Costa Nova. Afterward, Xavier dropped us off at our hotel in Porto.
We enjoyed our time with Xavier--he is a very pleasant travel companion, and a knowledgeable ambassador for these sites. We really learned a lot about what we saw. Without a rental car, we never could have experienced so much about Aveiro/Costa Nova. We had an exceptional, stress-free travel day, and had extra time to enjoy Coimbra and Porto as well. I'm glad we found this transfer tour. I would recommend it to anyone. I am sure that Xavier's other tours are equally fine.
