Great Tapas tour -
Alex is not only English-speaking (and other languages), but he is knowledgeable about
Santiago de Compostela. He has positive relationships with pub/bar owners so that the tapas experience is delicious with great service. We highly recommend this tour with Alex.

Excellent far, far better than expected - The tour was excellent far more than just wine, beer and tapas. A walk through history with an explanation of everything you see eat and taste, we even went back to one of the tapas bars after the tour for the mussels in a hot sauce

Great tour - I booked the tour in May and was very happy with it.
It's not just a Tapas Toru, but also a small city tour, with history, anecdotes,... and Alex knows the city really well.
I would book it again immediately on my next visit

Tapaed out. - The first thing our guide told us was that he was sick. We then walked all over in the rain, stopping at what appeared to be dive bars for inexpensive and not exactly appetizing “tapas”. We were the only couple. Not worth the cost or effort.
