Step by Step

On this tour you will explore the surroundings of Porto in a comfortable minivan . You will travel to the town of Aveiro, known as the Venice of Portugal, where you can explore its romantic canals. The activity will last about 4 hours, during which you will be accompanied by an expert guide, with whom you will learn about the history and culture of the places you will visit.

You will board a traditional boat, known as a "moliceiro", to glide through the picturesque canals of the city.

You will also have the opportunity to taste the delicious "soft eggs" which, made from egg yolks and sugar, are one of the most famous desserts in the area .

This postcard-perfect village has become a tourist attraction thanks to its wooden huts painted in brightly coloured stripes. You'll learn about the history of these huts, originally built by fishermen as shelters and equipment tents, and now converted into quite characteristic holiday homes.

    Although a quick trip, it was perfect for the season, as not much was open. The itinerary allowed us to get to know the areas well.
