Jose’ Luis Ferreira of Porto&Douro Travel, in Porto picked us up at our hotel in Coimbra, drove us to Aveiro where he reserved boat ride tickets for us, gave us a private walking tour of Aveiro, guided us to a great restaurant for lunch, drove us to a beautiful beach town near Aveiro called Costa Nova with short walking tour, then drove us to our hotel in Porto. He drives a smooth, sleek Mercedes sedan. He speaks perfect English. He was very courteous, and professional. He also gave us great suggestions for restaurants and activities in Porto. We will be utilizing him again tomorrow for a tour of Braga. We highly recommend him.
