O guia, Daniel, além de excelente motorista, explica tudo muito bem. Não se chateia em ter que repetir tudo em dois idiomas e faz o grupo se divertir muito, mesmo falando idiomas diferentes. Atendeu os pedidos especiais do grupo e deixou todos muito à vontade para escolher os melhores passeios. Com certeza retornarei com a família!

Loved our trip to Santiago our tour guide was very informative and friendly We enjoyed the whole trip from pick up at our accommodation, the journey with stop over looking leprosy island, the visit to Santiago , looking around the shops, walking around the town and visit to the cathedral. Our tapas lunch was very good and the day was topped off by a visit to Valencia with stunning views from the fort and quick walk around the town and then the tour guides brilliant driving through the fort ( tight) gateways Just a fab day! Would definitely revommend
