Overall, this was really fun. I did have two complaints: 1.) I booked for 11 am and when we showed up about 15 minutes early, it was like the team there had no idea we were coming and they made us take the 11:30 bc they’d filled the 11 with a large tour group. 2.) I paid for but never received the ovos moles. But, once we were on the boat, we enjoyed our ride and had a great guide who gave the tour in three languages in turn. It was a good way to see Aveiro.
