It was really a great experience. Especially, the first part of the day, with the bridge and the stairs through the forest and by the river. It is important to book a trip like this because the places you get to see are difficult to reach on your own, without a car. Luis was a great guide and driver, with a lot of interesting stories and very kind. We would have skip the boar ride in Aveiro for more free time around.
