Bravo! - Alex loves Galicia and has studied it extensively for years. He knows this place and shared the best of it along the walk. We covered a lot of ground with interesting stops along the way. Wide variety of tastings (tapas and beverages). Good value, fair price, well planned. Bravo!

A delicious experience! Try the best Galician foods/drinks at a variety of outlets - just bring an appetite! - An excellent experience with a really well-informed guide who knew all the best and famous places to visit for a range of authentic Galician food/beverages. Who knew tapas could be so delicious and varied! The daytime tours visit the market as well as a variety of bars, and covers the history of Galician cuisine, wine, and traditional liquor, and the current gourmet scene. A speciality chestnut store rounds off the tour. It’s great for singles, couples and groups - bring an appetite!

Wonderful tapas tour - informative & delicious! - Alex was the perfect tour guide. Taught me many things about Santigao and the local food scene. The tapas we tasted were things I may not have ordered off a menu myself, and for this reason I found a the tour particularly interesting. The local market was wonderful and the wine suggestions were spot on. Thanks for the informative introduction to Galician cuisine!

There wasn't really... - There wasn't really enough food supplied. The tapas seemed to be the tapas that were given out free at the restaurants, but Alex was enthusiastic, kind, and knowledgeable about the area and the Camino.
