I opted to do this tour rather than the tour provided by the cruise line. Representatives from the bus line were are the terminal to guide is to rhe meeting place. The bus was on time and clean. Driver and tour guide were very nice. Julia did a lovely job of guiding us around the island. Our bus was full. We all cooperated on returning to the bus at the designated time for stops. Julia did a head count at each stop to ensure all were back. I’d book again with this company..
We were delighted to step off our cruise ship and purchase last minute tickets to this tour. Maria was a great guide - full of historic and modern day information on the area. I recommend this tour if you are looking for an overview of the city. The tour lasted 2-1/2 hours.
Had a great time! Julia the tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us specific times to be back on the bus. Lots to see and would have missed a lot if we hadn’t done this tour. Julio our driver was skilled and friendly even if we didn’t speak Spanish. So glad we took this tour.
What a wonderful way to see the city, La Coruña, while at port during our recent Disney cruise! The staff greeting us at the port were very helpful and provided clear directions, in English, in getting on and off the bus before and during our tour. Maria, our tour guide, was exceptional! She was very informative and fun! She shared lots of history, stories and some superstitions. She was spectacular! A million thanks to the entire crew at Hercules Tours!
Excellent tour. Miguel our guide was amazing. Tour in Spanish and English. . For those with walking impairments who can get on/off the bus on their own or wheelchair users with someone accompanying them this tour is very accessible. Very organized. We had sufficient time in each of the sites. I highly recommend. The tour buses were right outside the gates of the cruise line pier.
