Galicia 2026 Calendar of Events

Jorge was a knowledgable guide tour. The walking tour was nice. The time slotted was perfect. Thank you for the tour Jorge.

We chose a 1 hour tour and wish we had extended it for st least 30 minutes. Francisco was fun and eagerly took photos of us and talked about the sites. We booked on Cool Destinations and the meeting point was not accurate. My ticket stated. To meet in the Cruise port. It was not allowable for the driver to enter that area. Cool Destinations needs to correct the error as it created confusion and we were late to start our tour once Francisco found us.

Anna did an excellent job. Her English was good and she had excellent knowledge of the city. She was also was very sweet, helpful and welcoming. Great job!

t’s the best way to see A Coruña’s highlights quickly, comfortably, and with incredible sea views — just don’t forget a jacket and your camera

Good cultural and historical perspective of Vigo. Friendly and helpful tour guide. Expanded our knowledge and appreciation of Gallego lifestyle.

Very good trip on Thursday 10 sept , our driver ALFREDO was friendly , knowledgeable and a good laugh , not the cheapest but well worth the money

I would highly recommend this tour in English. Miriam was a fantastic guide who brought the history of Santiago de Compostela to life. I did the tour with my family and we all enjoyed it very much.

Our excursion was great. Directions for pick up at cruise port were easy to follow. Bus ride there was filled with interesting commentary. Bonus that I missed in the description is that the walking tour would be in small groups which was great. The tour covered quite a bit plus we’re had some free time to enjoy the church and town on our own. We would definitely book with Shore Excursions again.

An excellent way to get a first impression of the city. The guide was very engaging and informative, without overwhelming us with too much information.

Used this tour on the 4th of July 2026 when we had a port day from our ship, it was such an enjoyable trip and we got to see so much of this absolutely beautiful city with it being 2 hours, our guide was a Cuban man who was so friendly, knowledgeable and just an all around lovely human being, we had stops at all the tourist sites and so much more, as it was a chilly morning so he offered he my wife a blanket(she would complain it’s too cold even if I took her on holiday to planet Mercury) the afternoon wasn’t chilly though as it reached 32 degrees that day but our guide gave us bottled water during the trip which was appreciated. Can’t recommend this highly enough especially as I use a stick now due to having a stroke in my early 40’s.You will absolutely love this tour it is so worth every penny.

Very informative and enjoyable to walk around the city finding out about history and the culture. Jorge was wonderful and very friendly!Highly recommend!!

Fabulous tour with Adrian. The meeting point is just behind the tourist information building so very close to the cruise ship. Very knowledgeable and a great way to see la Coruna. The bottles of water were a great addition. It was lovely to have the stop at the Hercules Tower and be able to walk up to it. Also so pleased you mentioned the old town and the square as we would have missed this otherwise.

Our guide was Natasha. We were picked up from right outside of port at 11 am. For some reason Cool Destinations showed us it was at 9am but in messages they told us to meet them at 10:45am. At first guide told us that this tour included bus ride with guide where they will tell you about the places and then give you 3 hrs of free time in the city by yourself. And return to the port. But none of us were comfortable being by ourselves. Then she said she is going to take a walk to some place where there is best view of cathedral so we all told her we would like to follow her to that park, it was nice picture spot. Then we came back to cathedral and she showed us queue where u get to hug apostle and line was not too bad. We saw crypt too. Then she told us to go eat and buy souvenirs which we did and walked back to bus station. Meeting point was little confusing so we decided to just walk to the bus station instead. Tip: if u wanna do something from La coruna port between 9am to 11am until ur Santiago tour starts you can walk to tower of Hercules. The view from there is spectacular.

The end of the world is impressive, I liked it a lot.

Very smooth experience. No problems with baggage transfers between hotels and very nice hotels along the way. Had no issues with Camino Ways, but wife had severe dehydration and heat exhaustion so some of the walking, and specifically some of the hills were challenging and having hotels pre-booked meant less flexibility. However, due to peak travel season, this cannot be avoided as without reservations many of the hotels would be unavailable. The Parador in Baiona was amazing, would recommend getting there a day early and booking a room the night before would definitely be worthwhile

Diego was a top notch tour guide. He was very patient was our group, which included small children. The tour covered the history of the city very well and he contrasted different parts of the town in a colorful and personal manner.A great value and experience!
