Guidekin's take

A long day that pairs Aveiro, with a moliceiro ride on the canals and the regional sweets, with an afternoon in Coimbra, one of the old capitals, with a local guide.

Lunch and the university complex are not included, and it needs three people to run. 4.69 from 189 reviews at €99 per person.

In our comparison: #4 of 4 in Coimbra, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
