An excellent experience. - A beautiful route, the guide was very attentive at all times and explained very well everything we were seeing. We took some incredible photos. The company was very good to us, since the day we had contracted we could not go out due to health reasons and they changed the date of the tour. Without a doubt we will repeat more routes than they offer.

Excursions with Tour Galicia - This excursion actually went to A Coruna, Betanzos, and the Tower of Hercules. Maria was my guide and she was great. Even though I was the only one that spoke English on the entire tour, Maria always made sure to take the time to translate everything for me. She was a hard worker and was nonstop explaining things in Spanish and English. She was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tours were great. There was so much terrific history to see and learn about. I appreciate that this tour company gives two hours for lunch (whereas most companies only give an hour) so that there is time to eat as well to explore independently.
