I went to review my grandfather's origin - The Miguel, Guide and Mr. Iron were excellent, the day was very profitable, no runs, we saw many attractions, all organized by Miguel. He is fluent in English, Spanish and even Brazilian Portuguese. And you know a lot of history.

Great Santiago tour with Valdamer - Amazing trip to Santiago and Valença! Valdemar was our guide for this tour. He is a great storyteller. Very informative! I learned new things about Portugal and S. Tiago. The city of Santiago is beautiful and very interesting. The cathedral is impresive!!! The Tapas at cotolay are delicious and the restaurante is cozy! Really recommend this tour.

Something worth trying - It’s a very comprehensive tour of Santiago de Compostela and Valenca de minho. We availed of the tour package with lunch. It’s better to do the tour without lunch, so that you’d have more time to go around Santiago. The lunch wasn’t really very special either. It was good, but it was okay and we could’ve done without it. If you want to go to the crypt of St. james the apostle, make sure to allot some time because there’s a line going in. Valença do minho is a small town on the border of Spain and Portugal that offers a nice view of the Spanish countryside. Our tour guide Paulo was very knowledgeable about the place and our driver Sergio was excellent. All in all, it’s a tour worth booking.

Best way to spend a day in Santiago de Compostela! - Our guides Paul & Tiago were great! They made it a fun learning experience. I recommend adding lunch to the package as the tapas/wines were delicious and it helped us bond with other tourists. We definitely plan on returning.

Historically fascinating Santiago de Compostela and Valensa de Minho - Valdemar is an excellent Guide. We hired the tour in Spanish but since we were accompanied by other passengers who spoke only English, with the help of Valdemar we could enjoy the tour in both languages. Santiago de Compostela and its history of wonder and Valensa a historic site walled and with sales of original fabrics from Portugal at a good price, not to be missed by any Traveler. Really highly recommended this tour

Great day to Santiago de Compostela - We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Santiago de Compostela. Our guide, Paulo was excellent, very knowledgeable, easy going and willing to answer any questions. We enjoyed three hours free time in Santiago de Compostela, the cathedral visit is a must, we had a look around the town and park and found a super spot for lunch. On the way back to Porto we visited Fortaleza de Valença and spent 45 minutes looking around the fortress, very interesting to see. Our journey back to Porto was quick and Paulo kindly dropped us off near where we were staying as it was raining. In summary a very enjoyable day and our guide Paulo is highly recommended by us.
