Beautiful town - They helped us with the reservation as my phone had died. They took our info and let us in the boat anyway. Then the capitán and the guide were great, explain everything in three languages and very engaging.

Aveiro special moliceiro tour with Fabiana - From the moment we strolled along Aveiro’s sunlit canal and heard the lilting voice of a tour guide singing aboard a moliceiro, we knew this was the trip to book. My wife pointed it out instantly, and I couldn’t agree more.
Fabiana was our tour guide that day. From the beginning to the end, she was very entertaining. She was very professional, explaining about every interesting site of the city, but the most important aspect was that she was making everyone laugh the entire trip. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the trip, she lost her hat (purchased that morning) and her sunglasses at the end while docking the moliceiro. She did not lose her good vibe and even joked about it.
If you ever go to Aveiro and decide to book a moliceiro boat tour, you should definitely book with Fabinana as the tour guide.

Great way to get an overview of Aveiro! Not to be missed! - Our cruise was a joy! This is an amazing experience at a great price! We learned so much about Aveiro's history, culture, people and more. Mariana was an awesome guide! She was very friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining, she even sang for us! She was very entertaining! This was a great start to our visit, helping us find other places in the city to visit. Don't miss it!

Boating in Aveiro - A very informative tour of Aveiro from the canals that are in the city. The guide was multi-lingual (Portugues, English and French) and gave his talk in all 3 languages as the group was divided on the boat.

Typical - The "cruise" is not of great interest but is part of the typical activities of the city To do if the weather is nice No need to make a reservation several companies make the walk with regular departures

Useful motorized boat-gondola ride - Motorized boat-gondola tour of the canals of Aveiro very useful to know the ins and outs of the city and emblematic places under different bridges with surprising stories

Packed in like sardines! - Go for a company that uses electric boats, I was next to the engine and it was noisy and the fines were not great. We also could not hear the commentary over the engine and boatman's radio. Because the boat was so full there were no other places to sit.
Other operators appeared to have far less people on and you had rove to move around and take photos or simply enjoy the view.

Disappointed - Guide spoke a little English which made it difficult to understand the history of the town. Would rethink doing this tour next time.
