We had a lovely tour of La Coruna old town. We had previously visited but had not known the old town existed. The tour has given us an understanding of the statues, monuments and buildings that we would have otherwise just passed by. It has given us a better understanding and appreciation of the town. It was always a favourite place. Now, more so.

A highly recommended experience! We have seen wonderful places and with Ana's explanation everything has been very very beautiful. The only advice I would give would be a bus with a bathroom to make the trip even more comfortable. For the rest, everything is perfect. We are very satisfied :D

A great experience, led by a fantastic guide who informed us in a super educational way about the entire history of the lighthouse. Highly recommended!

Everything is well distributed. The guide sounds good and the tour can easily be done in an hour.

Very cool and interesting tour, there is a lot to try and touch. Highly recommended!
