“Our Best Two Hours in Aveiro”
António was fabulous-knowledgeable, humorous and a great story teller. Every minute of our two hour walking was worthwhile. There was no wasted time and we even got a ribbon to tie on the bridge. Absolutely excellent.

“Awesome Guide!”
António is one of the best guides. I have been on a number of walking tours, but this one was special. We had a group with half Spanish and English people. He managed to alternate the talks perfectly without leaving any nice details or fun facts out. Highly recommend
