Long Drive But Worth It - It started out a little chaotic, when we got there told to go to a meeting place way up a hill. A little disorganized. Our guide came and took us back where we started and down the hill. Once our guide got there all was good, Paulo was wonderful, very helpful and knowledgeable. He explained everything in detail. It was a long drive but well worth it.

Porto to Spain and Back - Orlando really gave us a trip worth our money. He explained so much about the rich history of Portugal as well as the monarchy and where the rich culture of Portugal stems from. I would highly recommend Living Tours and Orlando for a day trip out to enjoy the sights and smells of Portugal and Spain.

Good and attentive driver. Nice and safe walk. I just find little time to stay in Santiago. I believe that another 40 minutes, - Good walk is safe. I found very little time to take advantage of the 3 options of church, shopping and food. By distance and value, another 40 minutes would not bother at all

Operator did not honor lunch - The trip to Santiago was excellent. Pontual. Very comfortable micro bus. Immaculate guide. The weak point is that the tour was purchased with the lunch option included (and detailed on the printed voucher), a more expensive option because of this but, when arriving in Santiago, the responsible operator, Living Tours, refused to honor the contract under the allegation that the information on the sales platform (Tripadvisor) was outdated. That was the formal response received. Sorry. The lunch had to be cost by me. The vegetarian options, also mentioned at the time of purchase, also did not exist. The stop in Valencia do MInho was only 20 minutes and it was a stop to the bathroom only, not a visit.
