To discover, to learn, to enjoy Aveiro.

Sightseeing along the lagoon (Ria de Aveiro)

Discover, learn about, enjoy Aveiro, the lagoon and the Sea. This is Tony Walker's unique proposal.

In a simple but authentic way, to roam through the city and the wider region exploring details, well-known and hidden alike, adding depth to what is widely known about Aveiro.

"Walking among Tiles" and "from Aveiro to Vista Alegre" are the first of many tours we can explore together. Each stands on its own, but is also an excuse to discuss what distinguishes and enriches this unique region: the people, the Ria, the urban channels, the salt, the gastronomy, the sweets, the Costa Nova, the lighthouse...

Active but calm routes, with guaranteed authenticity. Outside the tourist massification, but in the focus of your interests.

We're waiting for you to discover with us.
