Nature and culture of lesser known Galicia - Availability, professionalism and kindness: three words that perfectly describe the Galicia Travels agency. Beautiful tour with a competent and tireless Guide. The places are worth seeing.

Not what I expected or described on itinerary - The tour guide was very good but the tour was not what I expected. The boat on the Sil river did not show all the vineyards planted from the top of the mountain down to river,the boat did not continue. The mirador was not that great and two tours arrived at same time leaving little time to take pictures The lunch stop was terrible. We got to a town at 3 pm which all restaurants were closed and only one was recommended by guide. It was a horrible one. The monastery was nothing great they should have taken people to the St Estero which is a beautiful one and had given option to have lunch at the parador which would have been better or just skip lunch and get back to Santiago earlier. Also ship should have stopped or bus taken group to a vineyard which was not done. Maybe skip lunch and do wine tasting at vineyard Very disappointed since the area is spectacular. Copy what the Portuguese do in Porto on the Douro cruise
