We spent a morning with Noberto. Wonderful time seeing Aveiro and Costa Nova. Lovely trip on the canals, and looking at the beach and houses.

Touring with Norberto!
Our group completed extensive research prior to travelling to Portugal from Canada and we are all so grateful that we found EnneTours (Norberto). We did four different tours with Norberto all of which were fun, informative and relaxing. After our first day with Norberto, we all agreed that we were very fortunate to have booked Norberto for our tours.
He has a passion for travel and his country. Even with the research we completed, Norberto took us to some hidden gems that we had not heard of that made our trip extra special.
Our tours varied from hiking the Paiva Walkways to a walking tour of Porto, to port tasting and touring the Douro Valley, among others. We covered a lot and had some long days. Norberto was patient, flexible and fun throughout every day we spent with him.
Our group is already looking at booking another adventure with Norberto in the spring.

The Best!
The day with Norberto was the highlight of our trip. Very personable and knowledgeable. Paiva Walkways are an amazing feat and a wonderful stroll through the river valley. Then, on to an exceptional lunch at a local small town restaurant that was a very special treat. Not to be outdone, Aveiro and the canal boat cruise was so much fun because of Norberto’s contact with a Captain and First Mate that made the cruise one of a kind. We and the other American couple had a filled and fun day with Norberto and I would highly recommend spending the day with him on this tour.
