Nous avons passé une excellente journée. Norberto est très sympathique et nous a fait découvrir des endroits magnifiques. Les paysages sont très beaux, la nourriture Portugaise dans un restaurant typique était savoureuse. Nous recommandons cette excursion. Merci.

Highly recommend ennetours!!
Enne Tours is amazing from start to finish!! if you’re looking for an adventure around porto that is intimate yet open and fun – you should definitely contact norberto! there are numerous tours to choose from but norberto is the best and will make sure that you are taken care of the entire time. he is the ultimate host who knows his country well!
we went with the one day tour of the paiva walkways and aveiro. the paiva walkways is an amazing pathway that was built to showcase the natural beauty of the area. the course is not difficult for those who exercise on a regular basis, but it may be a bit strenuous for those who do not. if you book with norberto, he will make sure both parties will be taken care of. for those who do not wish to complete the course, there is a halfway point where norberto waits for you. and, for those who wish to check the views at the end, you can continue on and expect to climb some serious steps to get to the top and then head back to the halfway point to join the rest of the group.
from the paiva walkways, we headed to this local restaurant. we were treated to the local specialties of portugal and the food was incredible! they were even able to accommodate those who do not eat meat.
after an amazing lunch, we traveled to aveiro – known as the venice of portugal. norberto got us on a gondola – with a crazy, fun and entertaining guide to see the views of aveiro via the canals. aveiro is beautiful and quaint with it’s striped, painted houses, the fish market as well as the salt production facilities.
i highly recommend enne tours and getting in touch with norberto! you will not regret it. the only bad thing is that there’s only one enne tours and one norberto. it would’ve been great if he had the ability to do tours in sintra!
