It was an excellent family experience, guided by the constant and very complete guidance of Filipe Teles. A trip to repeat!
An historical site enhanced by our excellent guide Orlando
An exciting day with our excellent and knowledgeable guide Orlando. The city of Santiago de Compostela was very interesting and well worth the trip.
Bernardo Is World Class - Santiago de Compostela
Wow, what a wonderful tour that our small group received from Bernardo! So personable, filled with knowledge, a very safe driver, and filled with works perspective. You will not be disappointed if you request and receive Bernardo to see Santiago de Compostela and Valença
If you come to Porto, you must visit.
Since I already knew in advance that the meeting spot was easy to find and there would be a receptionist in a red polo shirt, it was very smooth. The guide, Carlos, looked at everything carefully and was thoughtful. Since our English is poor, they communicated and supported us in more detail. Santiago de Compostela is a special place, and I'm glad I visited. For us Japanese people, it was an experience we don't usually have, such as being able to go to another country with just a few hours of travel and having a time difference. If you come to Porto, I recommend taking a trip.
