        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.

        Aveiro 45 minutes canal cruise - Great for anyone who does not have a lot of ritme to spare but wants to get a peak at Aveiro.  The boat experience and entertainment was exceptional!

        Fun with the family - Right amount of time if travelling with kids. Tour guide was great. Went up to each group to talk about the different sites and history of Aveiro. Was able to communicate well in English for those who need it.

        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.

        Rather disappointing - not what we were expecting. - Given the number of canal in Aveiro we were rather disappointed and underwhelmed by our canal cruise. 
The majority of the cruise is along modern stretches of canal and you are surrounded by modern buildings and a lot of concrete.
Our tour guide was brilliant and bubbly which helped with our otherwise bland tour of the canals used by the boats (gondolas).
I got the impression (perhaps wrongly) that the canal routings available may have been governed by boat size? Perhaps smaller boats (not that we saw that many) may be able to access small and more traditional canals?
The tour takes around 90 mins.
Regrettably, not in the "must do" category.

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