5.00Spending a day with Ana and her colleague was a wonderful experience. Ana is very easygoing and easy to communicate with. She was very kind and gave her best to adjust to our group's small requests. She was full of interesting information, even outside our fishing theme. Great experience, would definitely recommend.
Visit to an authentic fishing community

5.00In spite of a rainy morning - we travelled out to the fishermen’s village of Angeiras. Andre arranged for us to meet up with one of the fishermen in the area - who showed us work hut and explained the netting and furs of seafood/fish that were caught by the fishermen in that community. It was tough so not many boats were out. We then went on to a fish cannery to learn more about the canning process - in particular, the canning of sardines at the Nuri brand cannery factory. As it was still a holiday - we could walk around the production floor. Andre supplemented our many queries on life in the fishing village, as well as history of the cannery factory. He was knowledgeable and took the initiative to give us information of the history to the areas we visited. We had an enjoyable morning with Andre! We would highly recommend a tour with him.
Fantastic local fish tour, Porto

5.00Ana was terrific! Her tour, beginning with an early morning visit to the beach to watch the morning catch brought in, weighed, and sold was informative and interesting. Following the beach visit, we saw that morning’s catch taken to the market for sale. Our tour concluded with a visit to another local fish market where our chosen fish (Sea Bass) was grilled to perfection for lunch. An outstanding experience!

5.00Dioga, our tour guide, was an exceptionally good tour leader! As a fisherman's son, he shared information that we would have never learned on our own! Very friendly, outgoing fella! The itinerary was really good too! The sardine tour, which had great media and interactive was a lot of fun. Enjoyed the seafood dinner at the fish market, especially trying barnacles for the first time!
