It was an excellent experience, well arranged👍 - The guide, Paulo is a very pleasant and knowledgeable. He explained everything we needed to do before we arrived to our destination and supplied us with a map. He gave us full history on every place we passed and stopped and beyond. The tour is very well planned. The driver, Jose, was paying attention to the roads and pleasant with us. I recommend this tour to all friends and family.

I went to review my grandfather's origin - The Miguel, Guide and Mr. Iron were excellent, the day was very profitable, no runs, we saw many attractions, all organized by Miguel. He is fluent in English, Spanish and even Brazilian Portuguese. And you know a lot of history.

Something worth trying - It’s a very comprehensive tour of Santiago de Compostela and Valenca de minho. We availed of the tour package with lunch. It’s better to do the tour without lunch, so that you’d have more time to go around Santiago. The lunch wasn’t really very special either. It was good, but it was okay and we could’ve done without it. If you want to go to the crypt of St. james the apostle, make sure to allot some time because there’s a line going in. Valença do minho is a small town on the border of Spain and Portugal that offers a nice view of the Spanish countryside. Our tour guide Paulo was very knowledgeable about the place and our driver Sergio was excellent. All in all, it’s a tour worth booking.

Best way to spend a day in Santiago de Compostela! - Our guides Paul & Tiago were great! They made it a fun learning experience. I recommend adding lunch to the package as the tapas/wines were delicious and it helped us bond with other tourists. We definitely plan on returning.

Historically fascinating Santiago de Compostela and Valensa de Minho - Valdemar is an excellent Guide. We hired the tour in Spanish but since we were accompanied by other passengers who spoke only English, with the help of Valdemar we could enjoy the tour in both languages. Santiago de Compostela and its history of wonder and Valensa a historic site walled and with sales of original fabrics from Portugal at a good price, not to be missed by any Traveler. Really highly recommended this tour
