Don’t miss! - A wonderful evening visiting three different tapas bars and a chestnut store. Local wines, local vermouth, and wonderfully various tapas were presented by our guide Alex, who taught us about the region and the history of tapas. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tour! - Alex was very friendly and knowledgeable, and took us to wonderful places throughout Santiago de Compostela. I loved learning about the history and influences of Galician food and getting to try a whole variety of drinks and tapas. It was easy, convenient, and a wonderful value for the price.

I was the only person who... - I was the only person who signed up for this Friday evening tour. As a solo traveler I would have appreciated being given the opportunity to move forward with tour or cancel. I typically feel comfortable as a solo traveler knowing that there are tours out there (such as this tapas and wine tasting) where I get to enjoy socializing with others. This was not the case and I felt very uncomfortable as I was going to be drinking and tasting alone. In addition I do these tours as I typically glean from others observations/questions but again this was not to be the case as I was the only individual on the tour. Therefore I chose to exit the tour as we arrived at first location. It's no fun drinking "alone" on a Friday night. Again would have appreciated the opportunity to cancel or move to another date when there would have been others in attendance.

The friendly guide, he didn't speak English well, he didn't extend well - Nothing special and we could have done on our own without the guide. The quantity of food for the group of 4 was little, but the quality was fine
