The fantastic trip, punctual and comfortable. We were 4 people and they gave us 2 bottles of wine and 3 trays of mussels. The explanation about the punt has been extremely funny. The content of the guide is super useful and allows you to know how its estuaries work, especially the Arousa estuary.

The truth is that I bought it online looking at other evaluations of other passengers, saying that it was a great success, rush hour departure, a very good service, wine and mussels, water and soft drinks on request…. A wonderful walk and a very good explanation of the rafts. Recommended %
