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!

Fun and Connective Experience! - Alex was fabulous! Down to earth and a wealth of knowledge about the city. It was so fun and relaxing to drink and eat local favorites with other English speaking travelers, while asking questions and learning more about one another and the city. Felt like a private tour with cocktails. Well worth it!
