Itinerary
We will visit one of the chapels with the most history in Galicia. Located in a wonderful enclave, this chapel hides stories of Celtic origin, in addition to its incredible location.
Leaving this wonderful tasting, we will head towards Praia da Lanzada, a place that hides Celtic legends and traditions, as well as Christian rituals. We will arrive, and we will be delighted with the beautiful panorama that the bay leaves us, as well as the sea tirelessly breaking against the stones. (optional)
Boat trip (optional). Experience a unique experience with our famous Mussel Boat Trip. On board, you can taste this delicious freshly cooked local product, accompanied by the best Albariño wine, while marveling at the stunning views of the Ria de Arousa, the largest and most beautiful in Galicia. We will sail to the pans, the traditional wooden platforms where the mussels are grown, to discover up close how this authentic Galician delicacy is produced.
After eating mussels, and other seafood that they can offer us, we headed to one of the most charming towns in Galicia, Combarro. Its horreos, near the sea, its stone houses, its well-kept streets, make this small town an authentic unforgettable place in which to walk. We will have time to lose ourselves in its streets and learn about the tradition of our community.
What would it be like to come to the Rias Baixas and not get to know Illa da Toxa? We will visit the island, with its famous Capela das Cunchas, a chapel completely covered with scallop shells, as well as its bridge that connects O Grove with A Toxa. Galician waters and rafts are known worldwide, so we will take you for a walk along the coast, on a catamaran to learn about this particular way of raising the delicious Galician mussels. Here, optionally, we will have a catamaran ride of approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes where we will taste mussels, wine, soft drinks and water while we cross the Ria de Arousa.
Seafood capital par excellence. If after tasting the best mussels on the boat, we will have time to sit down to eat in one of the wonderful restaurants that this wonderful town has.

A wonderful tour, the boat ride the most, with albariño and mussels included. The organization of 10, although it would take away some of the other places of the tour, in some we were very little, and does not give time almost even to eat. I think less is more. Otherwise super recommended. TOUR GALICIA thank you for this experience.
¡Muchísimas gracias por tu valoración! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste del recorrido y, especialmente, del paseo en barco con albariño y mejillones . Tomamos muy en cuenta tu sugerencia sobre el tiempo en las paradas; seguimos trabajando para optimizar el itinerario y que la experiencia sea aún más completa. ¡Gracias por recomendarnos y por confiar en TOUR GALICIA! Esperamos verte de nuevo muy pronto.
Very nice day trip. However, we would have liked to approach the beaches up close instead of seeing them at a belt distance. Besides, the weather was nice. The boat ride and tasting of correct mussels but the explanations of the mussel culture was only in Spanish., it did not help us. It should be bilingual English Spanish.
Merci beaucoup d’avoir partagé votre expérience avec nous. Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez apprécié l’excursion et que le beau temps a rendu la journée encore plus agréable. Nous regrettons que vous n’ayez pas pu vous approcher davantage des plages et comprenons parfaitement votre remarque. Nous sommes également désolés que les explications durant la promenade en bateau n’aient pas été proposées en anglais, ce qui rend l’expérience plus difficile à suivre. Nous allons consulter la compagnie maritime afin de comprendre pourquoi les explications n’ont pas été faites également en anglais et d’améliorer cet aspect à l’avenir. Toutefois, nous tenons à préciser que notre guide a bien réalisé l’ensemble du parcours en espagnol et en anglais afin de faciliter la compréhension de tous les voyageurs. Nous vous remercions sincèrement pour vos commentaires, qui nous aident à nous améliorer chaque jour. Cordialement, Miguel Angel Vazquez
Despite the rain, it was a wonderful experience, amazing Ana, we will definitely repeat with better weather. Delighted with the tour partners. In short, a ten.

También nos alegra saber que compartiste el tour con un grupo tan agradable. Gracias por confiar en Tour Galicia. ¡Aquí estaremos para recibiros de nuevo con los brazos abiertos! Un cordial saludo,
Wonderful trip, scenery fabulous and the highlight was the boat ride complete with white wine and mussels galore.

It’s always a pleasure to know that our guests leave with such great memories of Galicia. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon! Warm regards,
Excellent tour in and of itself. But it was not in English. Unfortunately, our english speaking guide's English was not so good. Her commentary in spanish seemed a lot more lengthy and detailed, while the english was a very short version. It's too bad.One of the reasons I took the tour was for the personal guided portion.
