Amazing day in Vigo. Joined Alex on a Historic Walking Tour of Vigo. This was our 1st time in Vigo and just loved this tour and this City! Alex is pretty animated, passionate about his City, and showed us so much of Vigo. He kept our interest the entire time. He is very knowledgeable about Vigo's history. We hit all the major sites. He was very flexible, communicated very effectively, and provided a number of recommendations of what to see/eat in Vigo. I would highly recommend this tour and Alex. I would take this tour again! Thanks Alex!
