Great experience and tour guide. Tiego was very knowledgeable and informative and able to answer questions. Provided a small walking tour through Santiago. He made great recommendations of things to see and do.

We had a wonderful visit at the Church. We were happy that we were able to make it for mass. Our tour guide was young and kind of left us on our own. Although our tour guide tried his best to give us his best, we would have preferred more interaction and more info from him. He was also driving so fast that my group requested him to slow down a bit. He recommended to us to a very good tapas restaurant. We all enjoyed it.

A viagem foi maravilhosa. A Catedral de Santiago de Compostela é muito linda. Assistimos uma missa que se iniciou às 11:00h hora local e que foi muito gratificante. Depois passeamos pelas ruas da cidade e comemos no Tapas do Cardeal onde os pratos de frutos do mar são maravilhosos

Fiz o passeio com mais quatro amigas a Santiago de Compostela com saída de Porto e na volta visitamos Valença e Viana do Castelo, com o motorista e guia MÁRCIO, que foi simplesmente extraordinário, superando todas nossas expectativas e tornando nosso dia maravilhoso.
