Excellent guide with very interesting information. His English was impeccable and he was very hospitable.
Juanjo is excellent and well best in English. Knows the area well abs knows we’re to take you for an experience you won’t forget.
The trip was wonderful on its own but what made it really special was Elena! She’s the best tour guide! Request her if you can!
Great day exploring the coastal region, small towns, and sights. Juanjo was very knowledgeable and friendly. A great guide for the day. Would recommend for anyone wanting to explore the area.
We booked both this tour and the Rias Biaxas Private Tour With Wine Tasting and Mussels Boat through Viator. Luckily both tours happened to be with the same tour company. Our tour host Carmela was very knowledgeable and enjoyable for both day long tours. She took the time to get to know our interests and while the tour followed the guidelines in the tour explanation, she added additional items to meet the specific likes our our group. I would recommend this tour 100%. I can't wait to get back to Galicia to take some of the other tours from this company.
Very beautiful city. The Mood of “land of pilgrims” is everywhere! Nice places and in account to eat (typical), good accommodation. Friendly locations.
The trip was very well rounded and complete. I am very appreciative that the tour was available. I feel that I was able to see and learn a lot about the local culture, important geographical sites, gastronomy, historical sites, etc. Juanjo was very kind, patient and helpful in answering questions and providing recommendations. I would definitely recommend his tours. This is a customizable, comfortable and personable tour.
my favorite place was the Ezaro waterfall. a serene, very beautiful and ideal place for people like me who like to contemplate details.... rock formations, falling and movements in the water.
Gracias por sus comentarios, Siempre intento dar lo mejor de mi mismo y mostrar a los visitantes los mejores sitios de la zona.
This was a full day private tour that could not be beat! We saw everything advertised and more. Our guide, Juanjo, was amazing!! Juanjo was the best - he gave us extra time at places when we asked for it and made additional picture stops for us whenever we wanted. He was polite and friendly, and very courteous. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and certainly could not have asked for a better experience!! I would highly recommend this tour!
It was a pleasure to do a tour with both of you, Thank you
