You need to visit the places on your own because the guide gives a basic, and even a bit cold, explanation on the bus and then, like a school group, you get off and visit on your own. Personally, I couldn't wait for it to end. A pity because the places visited are worth it!
Ci dispiace sinceramente che l’esperienza non abbia soddisfatto le sue aspettative e la ringraziamo per aver condiviso la sua opinione. Durante i nostri tour, le guide forniscono le spiegazioni sul pullman oppure direttamente sul posto, a seconda delle caratteristiche di ogni tappa. In seguito viene lasciato anche del tempo libero affinché ogni partecipante possa visitare i luoghi con maggiore autonomia. Ci dispiace che il modo di condurre la visita le sia sembrato poco coinvolgente. Se lo desidera, può contattarci tramite WhatsApp indicando la data in cui ha effettuato l’escursione, così potremo verificare quanto accaduto e parlarne con la guida che ha accompagnato il gruppo. Il suo commento ci sarà utile per continuare a migliorare la qualità delle nostre escursioni.
Very responsible, María the guide was very pleasant and willing to collaborate and answer any questions.
Both the driver, Suso, and the guide, María, were very professional. We would do it again without a doubt. Thank you . We found the tour through a young lady who gave us the advertisement on the street.

The visit was good, only we would have liked more detail about the places and to explain the terms from scratch, from the beginning they commented on the horreos and I had no idea what it was, I had to look it up on Google, they assumed that we all knew what a horreo was and this is just one example.
Muchas gracias por compartir su opinión. Nos alegra saber que la visita a Finisterre y Costa da Morte fue buena y que disfrutaron de la experiencia. También agradecemos su comentario, ya que nos ayuda a seguir mejorando nuestras explicaciones durante el recorrido. Lamentamos que en algún momento algún término, como el caso de los hórreos, no haya quedado claro desde el inicio. En Galicia son elementos muy tradicionales y, a veces, podemos dar por hecho que algunos conceptos son conocidos, por lo que tomamos nota de su observación para explicarlos mejor desde cero. De todas formas, para futuros viajes, les recomendamos que, si en algún momento no entienden algún término o desean más información sobre cualquier lugar, no duden en dirigirse directamente a la guía. En nuestro tour, la guía se lo habría explicado con mucho gusto y a la perfección, incluyendo qué es un hórreo, su función y su importancia dentro de la cultura gallega. Muchas gracias de nuevo por su visita y por ayudarnos a mejorar.
