Perfect trip. Small groups of 8 people.
I liked Paiva bridge and it was lovely to see the Costa Nova with its charming houses and soft sand beach. Highly recommend to people that travel solo, it’s safe and unforgettable experience. Special thank you to my guide Jay (Joao). Very nice man, always asked if I was ok and he made sure that everyone was satisfied. Thanks for the info about the best ice-cream in Aveiro ….
Thank you ! Magdalena

This was great day trip.Kosta was an excellent guide. Arouca bridge (not for the faint hearted) and Paiva walkways were usual and very interesting activities. Aveiro is a lovely little town to explore. Spend your time doing that rather than taking the boat ride. Lunch was at a small restaurant along the way and an excellent meal. If you have a day to spare this one is worth doing.

A super fun and engaging way to spend the day! Started off with taking on the suspension bridge in the pouring windy rain. Our tour guide, Thomas was super encouraging when crossing. The trek following the bridge was beautiful- but make sure to dress for the weather even if there is a slight chance of rain. After a true fitness challenge lunch tasted delicious, and the rest of the day was the perfect mix of relaxing, shopping, and learning about history. Special thanks to Thomas for being so welcoming and kind!
