Easy

Discover the charming city of Aveiro on a private half-day tour from Porto. Canals, colorful buildings, traditional boats and local sweets — all at your own pace with a professional driver.

Explore the picturesque city of Aveiro, often called the “Venice of Portugal”, on a private half-day tour from Porto, traveling in a comfortable minivan with a professional driver.

Aveiro is known for its canal system, where traditional moliceiro boats glide under quaint bridges and alongside colorful Art Nouveau buildings. You’ll have free time to explore the historic center, take an optional moliceiro boat ride (not included), visit the Fish Market, the Aveiro Cathedral, and taste the famous local sweet: “ovos moles”.

This is a flexible, fully private tour, led by a professional driver who provides basic information and useful suggestions along the route. Entrance tickets and tour guide services are not included, but can be arranged upon request if you’d like a deeper experience.

Lunch is not included, as this is a short tour, but there is time for a coffee or snack if you wish.

Enjoy a safe, comfortable, and personalized journey, with door-to-door service and no shared groups — just your private party.
