“We had a very rainy day for our tour, so it was nice to be able to enjoy the beautiful countryside and coastline of Galicia while warm and dry in the coach. Our guide Pablo was excellent, very knowledgeable and professional and explained everything very well and with good detail. The stops were well timed - although that might also have been assisted by the rain encouraging everyone back on board the coach promptly. The meeting point was easy to find and we departed and returned on time. The driver was excellent and the vehicle was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended - a great day.”
