Excellent experience! - Very pleasant trip in a small group of 8 tourists. We explored, listened to the masses, had lunch. Valensa is a very beautiful place, a longer stay would be welcome. Special congratulations to our guide Manuel, who was a perfect driver and guide!

Simplely incredible - One of the hardest things about traveling with young kids is keeping them involved. Nuno did a great job making it fun and entertaining for everyone. Would definitely recommend this trip. Santiago is truely one of those once in a lifetime places.

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!
