Iberian pork TOUGH and almost inedible. Told the waiter and he asked if he could do anything? Still charged the full amount, two people ate pork and both left most of it. Do something, any gesture better than nothing which is whet we got. Much better places to eat. Definitely won’t go again.

Xavier and Bia were extremely knowledgeable, and explain very well, the procedure to make spumante, brandy and sangria. While going to the cellar we had the opportunity to see a wonderful exhibition from different parts of the world, which I appreciated very much. And after we went to another place where we got to taste four different types of wines. It was a lovely afternoon and worth going, I got more than what I expected.

This was the highlite of our trip to Portugal. To imagine being in a first century city of such wealth that endured for four centuries and that ended with such a heroic and massive defence. The mosaic floors were dazzling and the extensive garden fountain still working after all these centuries was a marvel. Alfredo was the most knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. He engages with the people working at the museums and at the archeological site.

This is a perfect tour. You get an explanation of Roman culture and history, all with an excellent guide! Xavier Pereira is personable, very knowledgeable and makes history come alive. Thumbs up, a highly recommended tour. Colleen and John, USA

Really great highlight of our trip to Portugal! The cycling was quite hard (big hill getting out of Coimbra) but the bikes are really good quality so we just took our time and were rewarded with the views over the valley, small towns and the Roman ruins. Stopped for an espresso and pastel de nata in a town we would never otherwise have gone through. Recommend fully!

The trip was amazing and our guide was as well. Beautiful sandy beaches and a relaxing boat ride. Made us want to spend more time in the area.

Great half day tour to lovely Aveiro, and Costa Nova. Both charming places. The Costa Nova houses are a must see, so bright and colorful. The guide was very good and was engaging and personable. He explained all the history & places of interest along the way. Certainly a good way to see such places.

Great day Xavier was a wonderful guide. Told us all about the area and the wines of the region. The cellars were great. So personalized for us. The sparkling wines were delicious. A fabulous lunch a a local restaurant was also great

We had a very nice morning tour from Coimbra. Our guide was Xavier. He picked us up and dropped us off at our front door which was very helpful. He shared a lot of information about the area. The Moliceiro boat ride was very pleasant. We stopped at 2 beaches: Barra and Costa Nova, a good place for vacation. We liked the local pastry with a rich filling that Xavier offered at the end of our tour. Thank you, Xavier.

This is a fantastic activity that is not too physically taxing. The ride is long - 30 miles - but 85% gentle down hill. FUN!

Very nice tour. Guide was very nice and provided good information about the sights we were seeing. Boat tour was interesting and the beaches were beautiful.

Getting bikes was super convenient. Bikes were smooth, and we rode to Roman ruins passing through many interesting and quaint/non-touristy areas on the way to stop and relax. The ruins were incredible. Highly recommend this due to spot on logistics, uniqueness, and value.

We misunderstood that it was a hiking tour. Xavier was so flexible to change the itinerary on day, and even brought outdoor cloths to hike with us. We went for a beautiful scenic hike and we enjoyed it so much!

Our family very much enjoyed the visit to Aveiro to ride the boats and our guide was very friendly and happy to answer our questions. He took us to the beach at Casta Nova and taught us a little bit about the history of the area. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

My wife and I were looking for an opportunity to bike and see the less urban areas of Portugal. This trip exceeded our expectations. Xavier picked us up in Coimbra in a clean spacious van with a rack to carry the bikes. We rented Trek hardtail mountain bikes from Xavier for an additional fee. The drive up to Viseu was beautiful, and Xavier shared his extensive knowledge of the area. Rain was forecasted, but we were fortunate to have clear weather. As the description says, you ride through small towns, across bridges over rivers and streams, and through beautiful countryside. The trail was paved throughout the ride and not crowded at all in November. Xavier met us at several checkpoints along the trail to make sure we were happy, and the bikes were functioning properly. One of the highlights was the stop for bifana and beer at Restaurante Casa Maçaroco just off the trail. We enjoyed the meal and got back on the trail. You begin the trip at a higher elevation than you end, but sections of the trail are slightly uphill. Because it was a railway at one time, the incline and declines are gradual relative to the roads in the area. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to friends.
