Amazing Tour of A Coruna! - Alex was AMAZING! He first explained some history of ACoruna to our small group. He made it fun and interesting! Then we went on a walking tour of this lovely town - with more history and some entertaining stories. Alex has an extensive knowledge of the history, buildings and culture of ACoruna, Galicia and Spain and patiently answered our many questions. He took time at the end of the tour to give us his personal recommendations for more sights to see, and restaurants to visit - in a written format - so it was very easy to follow. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour!

Exciting guided tour - We spent a great morning walking through Coruña with Alex, who in addition to his scholarship and passion for his city, was friendly and fun. Have an entertaining conversation that helps you better immerse yourself in the city’s history and appreciate details that might otherwise go unnoticed. He also shared some extremely useful information (with a link to the map to make it better) about eating establishments and other places in the area to visit. Fully recommended!

Wonderful experience! - The first time I took a little trip to discover Galicia. Despite having only 4 days available, I had decided to visit A Coruña. Good choice, I have to say, thanks to Alex. Alex, our local guide, was fantastic, to say the least! Very prepared, passionate, in love with his city, easygoing, attentive and very nice. Through his stories, his explanations, his curiosities, he made us know this beautiful city in a really excellent way. We visited, listened, talked and laughed together. Wonderful! Alex is a special and unique person. He can involve you and convey your love for the city. Tell in a simple but interesting way. Thank you Alex! I will take home a good memory and if I return to Coruña, I will definitely think of you.

Lots of historical information on this tour! - Alex, our guide, was very informative and entertaining. He imparts a lot of historical and information and points out architectural details of the facades on many buildings. However, it should be noted that while we went to a couple of churches and convents, we did not go into any sites. If you want to go inside, you’ll need to come back on your own.
