We went on the day-trip to Finisterre, Muxia, etc. After completing the Camino Portuguese. Santiago Excursiones was recommended to us by Pablo at Hostel San Clemente and we were really impressed with how professional Lucia was from the word go, arranging the people waiting for various tours into separate groups and then how well she explained the many sights/attractions that we saw (in English), always doing a headcount before we got underway again, etc. The coach driver (didn't get his name) was also excellent, so smooth and careful. In summary a very enjoyable excursion. Anthony brothers 24 Oct 2025
Great tour! Noelle, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly (good sense of humor). Excellent English language skills. Good value for the price.
Went on to day trip to Sinestere with Ana as guide and Diego as chauffeur. Great day with many interesting sights on the way. For my taste it could’ve been 1-2 hours shorter by cutting some of the stops. However, overall a very nice day.
Carol did a fabulous job. Funny. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Noelle, our tour guide, was very informative and spoke English very well. We were taken to the north west coast of Spain from Santiago de Compostella which was the extreme end to the Camino trail. Beautiful scenery and history explained with a few stops along the way. Highly recommend if you have a spare day in Santiago de Compostella.
Great tour, guide Miri told us good interesting stories about life in the city and and historical facts and legends, so a 4 hour tour was good time spent. Recommend 👍
Fantastic tour. Maria was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and nice!
Very informative from a very passionate and informative tour leader.
This was a great tour that covered the things we wanted to see and a few surprises like a waterfall, and a couple of additional historical towns. The coastline is amazing. Noelle was kind, courteous and an expert on all things Galicia. Recommended!
Around 4 hours in total but time passed quickly as it was fun and very informative. Adequate breaks included. Our guide Maria was excellent and made sure to ask us if we had any questions before continuing to the next stops.
