This mystical place, established in the 9th century, certainly deserves to be known in depth, accompanied by a nice walk. Its importance is not only related to its history, but its location must be taken into account, that is, on the shores of one of the most admirable beaches in Galicia. In all this, we cannot absolutely forget that this temple hosts and offers definitely popular moonlight rituals, which makes it even more unique in its kind.
To arrive in this picturesque town, one of the most beautiful in Spain, located on the banks of the Ría de Pontevedra, we will cross part of the bay of Poio. All this beauty is conferred on it by a giant rock on which it is built, by the granaries with which it is surrounded, by the houses that overlook the sea and by several typical Galician stone crosses, called "Cruceiros", which are on the site. Walking through the characteristic streets and squares of this place, therefore, one has the possibility of making a true and authentic journey through time, as well as visiting an area of great ecological value.
This relaxing island, famous for its soap production and its thermal waters, is located in an area called « Red Natura 2000 », but it does not end here: we can find a small museum of the old soap factory and a fully covered chapel of shells.

After finishing the boat tour, you will have approximately 90 minutes for lunch on your own, enjoying the famous Galician gastronomy in the heart of O Grove, where you will find a wide variety of restaurants and culinary options for all tastes.
We will visit a typical wine cellar of the area called Albariño wine. This stop gives us the opportunity to taste and try an Albariño wine.

We had an amazing time visiting “las Rías Baixas” in this tour! We did the tour that included the boat ride and a winery. The winery experience was excellent! The sites/towns we visited were beautiful and the boat to see “bateas”, with all you can eat mussels and Albariño wine was super fun and delicious!! Our tour guide, Noel, was amazing!
We liked the tour a lot, a bit tired but beautiful, everything was very good, the guide was very kind and explained everything very well, perfect.
Fun day out. Good value for money. Interesting stops in picturesque towns
Expectations met, descriptions during the tour and the stops. The boat trip through the estuary and the visit to the winery were a pleasant surprise since I did not expect it to be so instructive. Ana and Servando were also very attentive at all times.
This tour greatly exceeded our expectations!!! We were looking forward to an interesting experience but ended up being wowed at every stop. The magical waterfront of Combarro was a special favorite as was the so-worth-it optional mussel boat excursion - fabulous! Our guide Mary did a great job of sharing insights and history as well as making sure we didn’t get lost! Would highly recommend this tour and don’t miss out on the optional mussel boat adventure!
A beautiful trip to see and experience the Rias Baixas. Beautiful stops at picturesque villages, interesting stop at a winemaker and a nice and cozy stop at a mussel farm. Nice combination to get a good picture of this region.
We enjoyed it a lot, Lucia explained everything to us very well, with many details and answering many questions that kept coming up, always very attentive to us and, well, charming, we left very, very happy.
We had a wonderful excursion and an unforgettable experience! Ana was absolutely fantastic—so friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire trip. She made sure we felt comfortable and truly enjoyed every moment. A special thank you to Antonio, our driver, who was professional, friendly, and drove safely. Together, Ana and Antonio made the excursion even more special. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience. Thank you, Ana and Antonio, for a fantastic day! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent!! Punctuality, a super qualified guide, the driver drives very well, since I have been on other tours and have been scared with other agencies. I recommend them 100%.
