We left Vigo to experience Santiago de Compestelo with Christina on a small bus. She animated the drive with history and stories of the region. The tour was relaxed, informative and made for a great experience. We enjoyed “backstage” access and valuable tips for other destinations in Spain. 10/10

The excursion was what I expected from the tour description. Maria, our guide was very knowledgeable and very understanding. We have a few people with mobility issues in our group and was very patient. In fact she told us to take our time, not to rush. We had enough free time and back on the ship before the cut off time.

Communication with the tour operator was superb. I was worried because our ship was late arriving, but was reassured. The visit to Santiago de Compostela was great. Maria the guide was informative and professional, helpful with restrooms, and ensured we were back at the ship in plenty of time without missing anything. Cathedral is fascinating, and we had enough time to explore the town and try a glass of Galician wine also!
