My name is Sergio and Aveiro is my home town. I grew, graduated, and worked in Aveiro for many years. As part of my work, I travel worldwide to engage to with customers from all sorts of countries and speak on conferences and other events. I love traveling, I love meeting other cultures... and I love also my home town.
Whenever traveling abroad, if I have time, I usually take walking tours to
complement my own sightseeing. I found out that this is a great to know more about the history of places and their people, to become aware of interesting stories, and a lot more.
After several years, I decided: why not provide this kind of experience to other people that want to visit the lovely Aveiro city? And that's how Aveiro Walking Tours was born. It's a hobby, but a hobby lived with passion. I speak mainly Portuguese and English. I also understand a bit of Spanish and French.
I'm curious by nature, learner, and I would love to share. Some people call Aveiro the Venice of Portugal, some the capital of Art Nouveau, and other say Aveiro is the most romantic city of Portugal. What we all agree is that it's unique and worth a visit! It has a salty but sweet story. But much more than that!
Join me for a relaxed, safe, insightful, and fun walking tour, where you'll learn a lot about interesting historical facts, stories of passion, devotion, revenge, the obvious and the non-obvious. I'll also provide a lot of recommendations for further exploration and enjoyment, so you can discover and experience more by yourself.
Hope to be your host and see you soon in Aveiro!
Sergio was an excellent guide. Friendly and knowledgeable.
Sergio was the best guide that we could have asked for. The tour was informative and very well paced. We got to see and learn about Aveiro which gave us a deeper understanding of its rich history. I highly recommend booking this tour!
It was an amazing tour!
Excellent tour with Sergio this morning. Lots of information about past and present Aveiro including lots of photos. Introduced us to Ovos Moles, the local delicacy … delicious! Lots of recommendations on things to do and places to eat. Highly recommended!
