Traveling with a 1 year old - Alex rocked it! - We have done our fair share of traveling over the years but are now learning how to travel with our son who just turned 1. We picked Galicia for the food, weather, history, and family friendly environment. We decided to do a week in A Coruña so we could slow down, take our time getting to know the city, and get around on the timeline of a 1 year old! We were never big tour people, but we felt we needed a plan and a way to get our bearings early so we could maximize our time enjoying and exploring the city. Descubre tours just seemed to have the right vibe so we took a chance. Our expectations were fairly low as all we wanted was a layout of the city, some one to point us in the direction of good food, and learning some history is always a fun bonus. However, Alex was phenomenal! We lucked out and got to book Alex for the private walking/wine/beer/tasting tour. He's not only so knowledgeable about the history of the city but also just genuinely seems to enjoy sharing his city. He's got a great energy, good vibes, and a lot of personality. We felt at ease right away, as if he was an old friend who had invited us to come stay for a visit and couldn't wait to tell us all about his hometown. He clearly loves his hometown the same way we love ours - New Orleans. Additionally, Alex was very patient and accommodating to flex a few parts of the tour as we adapted for our little monster to run in the playground while he gave us our next talk, pointed out a cool building, etc. It's tough to know how things will go with a 1yo but Alex made it easy. At the end of the tour Alex brought us to a fantastic local spot owned by Leo. This guy was great. He has curated an awesome hole in the wall wine spot that shows off the best of Galicia. It's in the heart of old town with an excellent selection of Galician wines in a super clean walk-in bodega (cellar). He has local artisanal cheeses, jamons, etc. Not to mention just a super nice guy. As things were winding down and we told Alex we were here for the week he personally wrote down all his favorite spots, off the beaten path, both in town and in the surrounding area, places with a view, places for a drink, etc. Thank you Alex for organizing a well thought out tour. For us, it was the right mix of history, with sights, with a layout of the town, and a good tasting to finish. Best of luck on your journey to building your tour business. Cheers, The Bibles

Great way to get a feel for the city - We had a lovely tour with our guide Alex, exactly what we were hoping for when I booked it. He was both knowledgeable and very personable. Tour covered a fairly small area (it's not a big city) and included the old town with some very historic locations, plus some of the more recent areas.
