Short description: You`ll go across one of the longest suspension bridges of the world and walk one of the most beautiful trails: The Paiva Walkways! Visit one of the highlights of Portugal: Costa Nova, and Aveiro, the Portuguese Venice!
We leave from Porto towards Arouca town where we will stop shortly for bathrooms and coffee.

In the beginning of the walkways there is a long stairway up. Our tour guide Norberto gave us moral support to make it to the top of the stairs. After the stairs it was a nice walk down towards the end of the walkways. If you like nature and beautiful scenery you should take this tour.

An amazing day. A hike with great views; delicious lunch at local establishment; walked around a fishing village and ended with a dessert and ride in the canal. Could not have done this on my own. Drove from one activity to the next. Well thought out activities. Worth while experience.

Merci Norberto !
C’était une journée fantastique et je ne peux que recommander très fortement ce tour à tous ceux qui aiment la nature, l’eau et les villes sympas !
Tu as été un guide fabuleux et sympathique, toujours à l’heure et flexible.
Le restaurant à midi était excellent, rien à dire.
Merci encore!
