Traveler reviews
Perfect day
Thank you Orlando, it was such a lovely day :)
Could be better
Booked an English speaking group, but was placed in a mixed Spanish/English group. Jonathan tried hard, but by the time he explained in English, we already missed the point of interest.
Wonderful day in Santiago de Compostela
Susana was an excellent guide—very engaging, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. Highly recommended!
Extraordinary
I believe that, more than living a tourist experience, knowing new places, discovering new stories and contacting different cultures, the tour guide makes all the difference. I make this review to thank the way Diogo Ferro performed his work. It's a guide of excellence! Soon in the morning, he gave everyone the opportunity to present themselves. The group consisted of eight people, including three older couples. He was able to convey valuable information and curiosities, always with enthusiasm, good disposition and a huge professionalism. We feel dedication in every detail. He constantly asked if everything was okay and helped each person get up and down the cart, showing genuine attention and care. I have already participated in several tours and, more than knowing a new place, I believe that the energy and posture of the guide greatly influence the experience. Congratulations to Living Tours for counting on such an exceptional guide. Diogo Ferro is undoubtedly a great professional and a value added for the company!
