Amazing tour. Our tour guide was great and he explained everything we wanted. Thank you very much !!

Rebecca_L

The guide was a nice man. There was a language barrier, we chose English. There was not much if any explanation of anything. If we had questions, he did not understand what we were asking. Viator does not allow you to choose your guide which I believe is critical to a good tour. I won’t be using them again.

Armando was great in showing us the history and sights of La Coruna/Santiago de Compostela in a short period of time we had off the ship.

This tour was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and went at a pace to accommodate my husband’s physical challenges. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour or guide!
