Being cheated by the different price & time
Be careful with the different price & time offer, we are 5 of us. they “ highly recommend “ us the 17€ pack : for 45 minutes boat + 30 minutes tuk tuk + tiny sweet ( worth 0.6€ ) instead of the standard 15€ for 30 minutes boat + 30 minutes ones, we thought 16 minutes more in boat could be lovely. In the end they put us the same boat of every other standard offer ones . Plus the guide is speaking horrible Spanish / English. Not worth it. Go for the green ones !

excellent tuk tuk and canal cruise combo
Mar 2020
I booked a combination tuk tuk and canal cruise for the reasonable price of 18 euros. The young man supplying the muscle power on the tuk tuk zipped around town with no difficulties, enthusiastically pointing out the local sights. After a thorough tour of roughly 40 minutes, I was off on the canal tour, which was a very enjoyable and leisurely 45 minutes touring the city's canals and admiring the sights. I highly recommend Viva a Ria for an enjoyable tour at an excellent price.

Not bad
Feb 2020 • Couples
This is one of the rare things to do in Aveiro,a trip on the canals. It is ok, not more than that. It takes about 40 minutes and that's it for the rest of the day! There is also a religious museum to see. So, one day is more than enough to see it all in Aveiro!

Really Enjoyable
A lovely way to see Aveiro, a canal cruise is a must if you are in the city.
The boats are comfortable and our guide spoke English and Spanish as well as Portuguese.
I learned a lot but also enjoyed the beauty of what I saw like the fisherman's area, the lock, the central canal and some of the beautiful building and bridges you pass.
I asked a few operators and all were consistent in their €13 price for adults and that the cruise lasts 45 minutes.

Great boattrip
Oct 2019
45 Minutes for only 10 Euros to see the most essence part of Aveiro. The Viva a Ria has a great value for money. There are actually a lot of boat trip companies in Aveiro, the Viva a Ria is a best one, starting direct from the city center. On the boats there are also a guide who can speak multiple languages to let us know something more about the city and the sights we were visiting.
Great experience!

It was nice to be out on the water. We enjoyed the commentary from the guide and seeing the canals while learning about what the past centuries of inhabitants did in Aveiro.

Nice boatvride
May 2019 • Couples
If you want to experience the canals of Aveiro along the waterways from the traditional Portuguese boat, try this it is expensive, 10€ for an un-inspirational 45 minute boat ride.

Better to walk the town and enjoy the river.

Nice view from the city
Our guide was a bit disappointing with the facts presented. The best part is from the center of the town to the artificial lake near a huge ceramic factory, the rest has not much to see.

Boring and visually sad.
May 2019 • Couples
The views of the canal concrete walls were very clear. Nothing else was visible. Loud horns from the boat indicated our presence to other boats but little else. Poor commentary complemented the experience, keep well clear of this very poor attraction.

Great boat ride
May 2019 • Couples
Enjoyed a late afternoon boat ride along the canals. Great driver (Tonito) and fun guide (Rui). If you are stopping in Aveiro for the afternoon this is a worthwhile 45-minute ride. Gives you a nice overview of the city. Walked up and boat left within minutes of arrival. Perfect, especially for 10Euro.
