Thank you very much for your company and conversation.This is an easy job when we find costumers like you.

Thanks for your review. It was fantastic enjoying this small piece of paradise with nice company.Hope to see you soon again!

Had a great two days in the capable hands of Enrique. Affable, courteous and friendly. Fantastic insight into the land and people. And 'mighty craic' as well - laughed a lot and had great fun. Totally recommendable.

We have a great time and discover amazing places. All was offered by the great guide and driver Enrique. He was polite and helpful all time. He just make sure that you enjoy and you have a great time discovering his county. Definitely it deserve to do it.

I had the pooortunity to spend one extra day after my job vitit to Santiago and I asked the hotel for a suggestion on what to do? They came up with the idea of this trip and it was realy one of the best days in my life. We arrived at Finestererri and by chance there were an Italian preist there giving a cermony I participated and it was a fantastic feeling, tears came into my eyes and I felt what I was hoping to feel in the Cathederal in Santigo de compostela (that I did not). I understand that there are many reasons for walking the Camino and it is fasinating to se everyone that succeds.. I didn't do it myself, but going to Finesterria gave me alLittle bit of the feeling. I'm realy greatful for this experience.Helene Richardsson

I'm not a fan of group tours but after 10 days of driving ourselves around Northern Spain, we decided to let someone else make the decisions for one day and to meet some other travelers along the way. It was wonderful. Martin was our tour guide and he was so nice. Excellent English, very down-to-earth, like the friend you'd want to show you around. He was very laid back and approachable. And very knowledgeable about all the places he took us to. I wouldn't hesitate to go with him again, so be sure to request Martin. Excellent tour with stops at little unknown spots and a great lunch included. It seemed to include all the alcohol we wanted too cuz we dranks beers and a few bottles of wine and it was covered!

This was the best tour I have ever been on. After walking the Camino to Santiago we were looking for a tour to see Finisterre. The hotel highly recommended DiscoverGalicia because it was a small group. I had no interest in travelling in a big tour bus. This was absolutely amazing. The tour guide explained the history, culture, cuisuine and so much more. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.

I have taken many guided tours before. My experience with them has been from bad to mediocre. I specially dislike those that make a stop in a shop where the tour guide gets a cut of the sales. But the tour with DiscoverGalicia by your Way was totally different. Martin picked us up from the hotel at the time we asked him to. Immediately he was very courteous and started introducing the group (only four of us) to what the itinerary consisted and what to expect. We had chosen Fisterra and Costa da Morte. It was reassuring to know that our guide was always keeping an eye on us, even when we were several hundred feet away near the furious waves of the Galician coast and he was standing guard, making sure we had the freedom to wander away but under his vigilant eye. Lunch was included in the price of the tour and it took place in a delightful "Parador". The hostess had prepared a delicious home-made meal that was the delight of all of us. We had plenty of time to eat. We never felt neither rush during the sightseeing nor was ever a time we were told how much time we had left. Martin was available for questions during the entire tour and always seemed to have an answer for everything. He is very knowledgeable of the area and its history. I would definitely recommend DiscoverGalicia by your Way to anyone that is interest in a detail insight of Galicia. Martin is proficient in English, Spanish and Gallego, and it will be the highlight of your Galician visit.

My two friends and I went with Martin and 5 others to Finisterre and the Costa de Morte. We had a wonderful day, Martin was an excellent informative guide. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. We could have used a coffee and bathroom break however.The website does not have an English translation, don't be put off by this, just email Martin in English.

We visited the Costa da Morte with Martín. Both the tour and the guide were excellent. We learned so much about Galicia beyond the city of Santiago de Compostela. It's a must excursion if you have an extra day in the area.

There were four adults in our group and we enjoyed a marvelous full day tour of Vigo, the surrounding area and Santiago de Compostela. Our guide, Martin, was personable, professional, sincerely knowledgeable and spoke great English. His choice for lunch was the BEST and, when we requested a visit to a store to purchase local wine, he chose a charming stop. Should we return to this area, we will absolutely seek out Martin again.

The experience here was marred by officious and small minded people. Very disappointed and we left very soon after entry due this.

Can't speak more highly of this young man- impeccably professional in dress and manner, he took us to Santiago de Compostale from Vigo, Spain (where our cruise ship docked) and took us to all the places we were interested in seeing, providing a commentary on this area of Spain- his love of Galicia is obvious. The best part of the day was the lovely restaurant where we stopped to eat on the way back to Vigo. An old mill that has been turned into a taverna- so picturesque! The owner made his own wine and kept our glasses full; we had octopus (Martin explained the method of preparation which makes it tender and delicious- kind of cross in flavor between lobster and crab), beef and pork, all served family style. The meal concluded with wonderful espresso and a local liqueur- we thought it was water because it was served in a water bottle and is crystal clear. We all had a laugh when Martin asked how we enjoyed the homemade liqueur and we told him we never even tried it! You will not regret your decision to tour with DiscoverGalicia!

Tour guide, Martín, gives you the insider's tour of the Costa da Morte. This includes fishing villages, beaches, woodland paths, Fisterra's wild and windy ocean views, a picturesque medieval village, monastery ruins from the 12th century... My husband and I had a fabulous day. Without our guide we would have never been able to find all the places he showed us. A once in a lifetime opportunity to really see and learn about Galicia from a kind and patient expert. Martín spoke English very well, which was appreciated by my non-Spanish speaking husband. The lunch which was included consisted of salad, fresh fish or octopus, bread, wine, dessert, and coffee. We hope to return another year and tour another area!BTW: No children in our group of 4, but I think kids would enjoy this tour too.

I wholeheartedly agree with the positive comments of the other reviewers. Our guide, Martin, was both knowledgable and friendly. The time flew by as we explored both famous and lesser known sights in the Finisterre area. It was a special treat to end the trip with mountaintop views of Santiago.
