Northwest Spain - It was a fantastic experience.
Beware that in order to see so many places insuch a limited time it will require to adhere to a tight time schedule. You may only have 30 minutes to wonder before return to the bus. Be on time!
LUCIA our tour manager was very knowledgeable and translated to various languages. The trip is an 9 hour day and it has some level of dificulty, BUT, you still can enjoy and see everything from various points. She made the trip an enjoyable one.
The tour focus on the Northwest part of Spain - from Coruña to Fisterra.

Many things to see, chill tour after completing the Camino - Our guide Maria shared a lot of interesting tidbits about the places we visited, both in English and Spanish. This tour was perfect for a day after finishing the Camino - you get to sit back and relax.
There were many stops so you don't feel like you're sitting for too long, but there was at least about 40 minutes at most stops, so you can walk around leisurely by yourself to enjoy the views. There were toilets readily available at most of the stops, which Maria helpfully pointed out at each stop too. 1h 40 mins break for lunch was also just right.
It was super windy on our tour - felt like we were fighting just to stay upright, so you should definitely prepare to be windproof, rainproof and also sunproof to enjoy the tour.
I especially enjoyed Muxia and Ponte Maceira.

Well worth it! - Highly recommended as this trip took us to 7 places in 1 day. Saving us a lot of times and strength. We do not speak Spanish but the tour guide was trying her best to introduce the histories and background knowledges to us in English. There will be chances for you to grab a coffee, go to loo, buy some souvenirs and even enough time to find a nice place for proper lunch.

Sweet and sour taste - We contracted the tour with Tour Galicia, but the guide and driver were from another company, Galicia Excursiones. We did the tour the opposite of what the brochure said, if we knew that they brought us together with people from different agencies we would have chosen a cheaper tour with the tour we ended up taking. We chose Tour Galicia because since it was a different route we thought we wouldn't meet so many people, but that wasn't the case. Luckily we liked the experience.
