Tour Reviews
I really recommend Ennetours!
Norberto from Ennetours is simply amazing and we could not have made a better choice when we visited Porto and northern Portugal. He really went out of his way to show us the best spots and locations and to find great little restaurants where we tried the amazing local cuisine. We initially booked just one day trip to Aveiro and the Paiva walkways but we were so satisfied with the experience that we also booked trips to Douro Valley and Geres National Park with Norberto. I really recommend Ennetours for those who really want a great experience in Porto and the surrounding areas!

We would recommend Ennetours to everyone who’s going to Porto / Portugal! When we go to Portugal next time, we will absolutely book one or more tours offered by Ennetours. Ennetours with their excellent guide Norberto gives you a totally different view of Portugal. We got to know more about Portugal in that one day with Norberto than during those 12 days that we spent in Portugal. We had such a good communication with Norberto, he’s a special person – knows a lot, is very friendly and simple. Our day started with visiting Aveiro and taking a boat ride. Then we were taken to Costa Nova with traditional Portuguese houses. Lunch at Arouca village in the mountains was just superb – we couldn’t find anything similar at other places. Paiva Walkways is an amazing place with beautiful nature and a nice relaxing walk. We prefer nature and small places rather than big cities and that’s why Paiva Walkways attracted our attention. It’s really worth booking a tour with Ennetours as you’ll see amazing places and will get to experience Portugal in a way you’ll never experience it if you travelled by yourself. Norberto took such a good care of us – he has thought of everything! Ennetours are highly recommended!!!
