It was a great trip, but giving 4/5 stars because it was a lot of driving and not a ton of time at the actual locations. We had excellent tour guides and I thought the tour was fantastic overall, but I wish we had skipped Valença and had more time in Santiago de Compostela. Keep in mind if you are booking this tour, it is about 3.5 hours to drive up to Spain, then lunch is about an hour, so you only get about an hour (at most) to explore Santiago de Compostela. Then, only 30 mins in Valença, with a return back to Porto at around 7pm. It’s a lot of driving. If you enjoy a bus trip, this could be the experience for you, but if long drives aren’t your thing, you might want to pick a different experience. Again, I think the tour guides did a great job with the trip, but was just a lot of driving and not a lot of time in each city…
