Customer Reviews
Carlos is an excellent guide. He was also warm, helpful and had a great sense of humour. Carlos was also super knowledgeable and informative which added so much value to the experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for the tour.
It rained excessively until we reached Santiago de Compostela and the heavens parted and the sun shown through a blue sky scattered with clouds. It was all that was needed to make the day here complete. The guide Diogo and his driver were perfect. Diogo provided excellent information to satisfy and was always open for questions and deeper insight to our destinations.
Sandra was wonderful and informative in her English tour. She even accommodate me to be in her 10 AM tour and went the extra mile to suggest paella restaurants outside the old city. Highly recommended. Look for the red umbrella Thank you Sandra, John / Canada
