Terribly disappointing! Booked tickets for my family of four- after specifically asking about a tour in English. We were told “yes” for English. The entire tour was conducted in Portuguese, minus several comments in Spanish and even less in English. (I am fluent in both English and Spanish and was able to understand a little of what was being shared in Portuguese. Sadly the rest of my family and another couple next to me were not.) Was hoping to learn some information regarding the area and the history (which was shared and pointed out in Portuguese)… NOPE! The only information shared in English- a sentence about the flood gates, another about the fish market and one more about the bridges and tile factory. (Significantly less information about each said in both Spanish and English than in Portuguese.) The crew spent all their time and energy trying to do a stand up comedy act that the tour itself fell flat. Personally, we should have skipped the boat and explored the canals on foot. Total waste of money. Scenery is beautiful. My suggestion… I would try one of the other companies and spend more time vetting the product they’re advertising.

The ride was wonderful and the experience well worth it. I just felt that it was too much for the guide to be trying to do the information in Portuguese and English and, possibly, some French, with the result that we, the English tourists, did not get much information which was frustrating.

Nice tour along the canals. Our captain and guide shared a lot of interesting facts about Aveiro. Would recommend! The captain even invited our daughter to drive the boat!

No interest, the whole route may be done on foot.
13 Euros: expensive for what it is.
We had a belligerent who, instead of sharing information about the city with us, spent his time talking the same bullshit: "watch your heads" under bridges, whistle women and dogs on the side of the course, remarks type "women work, men look, impeccable!".
Not serious and irrelevant.

There was a very good atmosphere on board, the guide gave good explanations and it was not too hot. The boats do not have any sun protection

Arrived Aveiro to find entire inner city area blocked off to accommodate some type of event. You couldn't find parking within 1.5 to 2 kilometers from the canal!!! This should have been known by the tour operator AND Viator well in advance so they could inform us before we booked and PAID for this tour. We attempted to find parking but ran into blockades at every street access and finally abandoned our effort and left for Oporto!!!! A total waste of time and money!!!

I felt it was just about worth the € 15. It was a nice way to spend 40 minutes cruising down the canals. One side of the main canal was just fence and concrete. I can't help but feel that the city can do something pleasant with this or maybe make some art walls, green walls or something unique.
It started pouring just as we left the dock so we had to seek refuge underneath one of the main bridges. The water was really coming down and it was windy.
Thank goodness we had our umbrellas! :-)
The skies soon cleared and we were able to continue on after the 12-minute deluge.
It will remain a special memory sitting under the bridge drinking champagne out of paper cups and eating the traditional Ovos moles in Aveiro!
Sure Aveiro is not Venice or Amsterdam, but this is a little piece of waterway heaven in Portugal and worth doing as it's good value for the experience!

Nice boat ride in Aveiro, the Venice of Portugal. The guide who called himself Michaelangelo was friendly, but wish he gave more history of the city, when it was founded, flooded and how it will survive the next floods. We don’t need another sinking Titanic 2!

Quick and boring tour through 3 straight channels
It looked if they were in a hurry to finish the day
We had the last boat at 6 pm

Dora, the guide, gave us a wonderful visit with information and curiosities, enlivening the journey, in all languages and making us smile on a day when it was raining.
