Itinerary advice, please

Hello,
I'd greatly appreciate any comments on my tentative itinerary. I am traveling by train and bus. Is this doable? Or am I trying to fit too much in. If I had to cut out something, what would you suggest? Also is it best to visit Geres from Porto or Braga?

Thanks so much!

Day 2 Porto

Day 3 Aveiro and/or Coimbro

or organized trip to Geres?

Is a rental car an option for you maybe at Day 4 and on? I normally don't suggest renting a car, but with what you want to see, that might be the best option. Last year, my husband and I spent time north of Porto and found a car to see that portion helpful.
