5.00Alex was our experienced tour guide in Vigo, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the moment we met him, his passion for the city was clear. He shared fascinating stories about Vigo’s history, its people, and its hidden corners that we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge was matched by his warmth and sense of humour, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and engaging. By the end of the tour, it felt less like we were being shown around by a guide and more like we were exploring the city with a friend who truly loved it.
Make Vigo come alive with Alex as your guide!
