Very enjoyable and informative tour!! - Valdemar was our tour guide and - wow - what a great job he did! The tour was well organized and instructions were clear for departure. The tour left on time. Valdemar explained the history of the areas we drove through, most of the way to Santiago. His knowledge is extensive and my husband, who enjoys history, asked many questions which Valdemar always answered with enjoyment. His meeting up instructions were always clear so were knew where and when to meet him. It’s our first exposure to Living Tours and Get Your Guide but it won’t be our last, thanks to Valdemar!

Santiago de Compostela - The organization is very good. The "time and hours"! The guide, Anabela is very well explained and friendly. The driver, sir. Jose, very quiet and attentive to his work. We had a less good , very rainy day but I liked it very much . The city of Galicia is very beautiful and Santiago de Compostela (cathedral, because it was the only thing I saw) is surreal! The least positive is even the time of and travel and the little time in Santiago de Compostela.

It was an excellent experience, well arranged👍 - The guide, Paulo is a very pleasant and knowledgeable. He explained everything we needed to do before we arrived to our destination and supplied us with a map. He gave us full history on every place we passed and stopped and beyond. The tour is very well planned. The driver, Jose, was paying attention to the roads and pleasant with us. I recommend this tour to all friends and family.

I went to review my grandfather's origin - The Miguel, Guide and Mr. Iron were excellent, the day was very profitable, no runs, we saw many attractions, all organized by Miguel. He is fluent in English, Spanish and even Brazilian Portuguese. And you know a lot of history.
