Excellent tour, great tour guide. It was a lot of fun. The bus was very clean. We all had a really good time.
Time was precisely managed. Our tour guide, Christina, was wonderfully knowledgeable. We really enjoyed her stories and delivery and expertise. Job well done. We had plenty of time to tour as a group and on our own
We had a memorable experience going to visit Santiago. The bus ride was comfortable and our tour guide, Jorge, laid the foundation for the tour on the ride. Jorge did a good job keeping our large group together, even if it was slightly challenging to hear through the tour-provided ear piece. Our almost four-year old got overwhelmed during the trip and Jorge kindly and effectively helped us navigate through the cathedral tour. Worth the trip to a sacred site.
The excursion to Santiago de Compostela was very nice. Christina was an excellent guide and the bus driver was very skillful. We really enjoyed the tour of the area and the museum. The only suggestion I have is that the guide pass out and test the listening devices while we were on the bus. Several people had difficulty tuning into and/or adjusting their devices and it was confusing and time consuming to resolve the issues with people wandering around outside.
Good communication and timely pickup. Guide was knowledgeable and informative on the drive to Santiago. Once we arrived however, the portable hearing system was useless! We couldn’t understand anything the guide said due to distortion. Then on the way back to the ship, the bus had no working air conditioning. We basically paid for a just a shuttle to and from Santiago, and only half of the time did we have a comfortable ride. The time in Santiago was basically just following a group of people and having no idea what we were actually seeing.
The drive wasn't bad, it was fairly scenic, in the destination was very interesting. There was nothing wrong with the content of the tour at all, the problems arose with difficulty understanding the tour guide via the headset because the audio was badly distorted for everyone. Also the trip back was miserable because the bus had no AC and nothing but warm air came out of the vents, and it was like an oven. With this being a touring bus, there was no way to open a window at all so we suffocated the whole trip back to the ship. The driver and the guide were wonderful and the destination was wonderful, it was just these technical difficulties.
Jorge was very knowledgeable and Michael was an excellent driver. The church was for the most part closed due to St. Joseph holiday so crowds were big and several protests going on. All in all a good learning trip.
Great well organised tour. We’d booked the 10am tour but got a message 2 days before that due to numbers we’d been combined with the 9am tour. I had spotted in reviews this could happen so looked out for the details specifically, but the change was a bit subtle if not already looking so read the pre-info sent carefully. We had a sea day directly before Vigo so was pleased to get the message 2 days prior whilst still in port. The tour was well organised, a large coach for less than 20 people. Parked close to the centre and given chance for a toilet stop. Guided to the centre and given information, then a couple of hours free time before a guided tour of the museum and cathedral, before getting back to the. Kay with plenty of time to spare. Tour guide Jorge was excellent - great level of information to keep you interested.
Carolina was a great tour guide! She was very nice & knowledgeable. We loved the tour. Bus was comfortable. Good driver.
We had an amazing time during our visit to Santiago de Compostela. The timing was perfect. Jorge our tour guide was at the cruise port waiting for us with his large orange umbrella that you couldn’t miss. He was very easy to locate. We boarded the bus on time and Ana delivered an amazing ride from Vigo to Galicia, where we visited the famous Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Jorge gave us incredible history on the area and plenty of time to do shopping and to visit the area before touring the cathedra. This was an overall amazing experience and we would not hesitate to do it again. If you visiting in Vigo, Spain, we highly recommend that you book this tour with Jorge and Ana.
