Our tour guide Anna was very dedicated and professional in sharing the facts about the various places of interest and it’s history, geography etc in various languages including English. The trip was very interesting & enjoyable especially the boat ride with mussel tasting & wine, we also tried the oysters which were very fresh! I would highly recommend this trip and hope you’ll get Anna as your guide.

verdensklasse tur. Vi var kun 6 i alt - hvor kun to af os var engelsktalende, og vi fik en guide som oversatte alt (og var klar på en masse spørgsmål). Sindssygt billigt ift. man får ca. 1 times sejltur med en MASSE muslinger (vi kunne ikke spise alt), hvidvin - og evt. vand med i prisen. 10/10 ville gøre det igen

Tour muy bonito, con explicaciones muy buenas de Sonia nuestra guía. El crucero en catamarán ha estado genial, con delfines jugando con las olas de la estela del barco y comiendo mejillones regado con vino albariño que estaban muy buenos repitiendo todo lo que quisiéramos. Es muy recomendable.
