Chance to see the breathtaking Galician coastline with a few stops along the way. The driver, Pepe, was cheerful and was ready early at the Meeting Point, which was outside the “Orange” mobile phone shop in Plaza de Pontevedra. The bus was modern and comfortable, making for a smooth ride. As the only English speaker out of 12 people, the tour guide, Maria, was still able to take time to explain some info in English for me. Delicious seafood lunch in Finisterre (not included with ticket).

Pick up and drop off were very convenient. Guide was not only knowledgeable but seemed to have a real interest in the topics and places we visited. She gave the tour in two languages and was able to keep the entire group engaged. Outstanding value.

Each guide did much of the tour in Spanish but they also took time to translate the tougher more intricate concepts on beer making. It was amazing. I just wish my translator worked better.

I ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE AND I HAVE LEARNED MANY THINGS I DID NOT KNOW, THE GUIDE IS A LOVELY GIRL... THE HOLOGRAM OF THE GREAT BREWER MASTER

I really liked the tour, very well explained, the guide María makes it very enjoyable
