Overall rating

(58 reviews)

Our tour was to Lugo city and cathedral beach. Our guide Maria was outstanding. she spoke in Spanish and English to accomodate all of us. Thankfully it was a sunny day throughout which was a cherry on the cake. There's not much to do in Lugo but we enjoy walking through new towns, so we liked it. the history about Lugo was interesting. I would recommend going near the harbour in ribadeo before or after lunch. it's a nice walk. Cathedral beach is a must visit. we reached before other buses arrived so we felt extremely lucky to have an empty beach to ourselves. overall I would say it was a 10/10 experience!

We loved the friendliness and kindness of Maria, our guide, and were delighted with the great weather we had on the splendid beach.

Great trip - everyone was very professional, and the guide was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed it very much and would recommend.

the beach of the cathedrals is beautiful, Ribadeo is nice. Ludo definitely deserved more time, but it was a nice tour. 5+

Our guide Anna handled everything with professionalism and friendliness.
