Great tour with Manuel. We spoke with him during the drive plus for the initial guidance in Santiago de Compostela. Highlights: the town is beautiful and you will love the architecture and ambience. Recommendations after my visit: you can skip lunch and spend more time in the town. Best part: the mercado in the town. Nice people. Then the Border between Spain and Portugal is worth seeing. Beautiful surrounded by the forts.

Miguel and Manuel were bloody amazing!!! I booked with this company 3 more times because of Miguel and Manuel, sadly they were the best. I recommend NOT requesting Diogo, he was the worst but different tour (Braga and Guixamares).

We traveled with Jorge, our guide. The trip was in English and French. Jorge was an excellent guide and driver. We had the included lunch. The day was stunning and the stop in Valenca was a cute town to see as we drove back to Porto. This trip is a must when in Porto.

This was a great trip with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Lunch in Santiago was first class. Visit to Valença on return journey was fun.
