Excellent ride, friendly fun driver-we felt safe and comfortable the entire day. David, the guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and gave fabulous recommendations. The sites visited were interesting and timed well for small exploration-appropriate for each site. All in all, a great day!

Itinerary
Playa de Las Catedrales, a beautiful beach which was chosen by National Geographic magazine as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Rocks that resemble the arches of the Cathedrals, crystal clear water and a landscape that has no rivals, will make you fall in love the first time that you see it.
Enjoy the western coast of the Principality of Asturias and one of the most beautiful and touristic villages of all. The promenade will conquer your heart, while typical Asturian food will conquer your belly! There will be time to eat.
Although Illa Pancha is not a very touristy place, it is something that a lover of the sea and nature cannot miss. The island is connected to the mainland thanks to a very narrow bridge and at its tip you can admire the old lighthouse, built in 1857. The herbaceous vegetation takes over this stretch of land, especially with the beautiful cat's claw.
Visita a Lugo que es un pueblo histórico famoso por sus murallas romanas completamente conservadas, declaradas Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Su casco antiguo ofrece calles empedradas, plazas con encanto y una rica tradición cultural y gastronómica, perfecta para pasear y descubrir la historia viva de Galicia

Excellent experience to explore Galicia, really beautiful locations
This is a really nice tour that does quite a lot in the time available. We took advantage of eating in the suggested restaurant and are glad we did as the food was really delicious. Cathedral Beach was the highlight of course.
Very good bus driver and tour giver! Very action packed day
Once again I had the pleasure of having Alex as our guide on this varied tour spanning from Mother Nature at its best to some historical sites. I found Galicia Travels very reliable and its employees are true professionals.
This trip has been cancelled two days before it was scheduled . I only stayed in Santiago additional day to go for this trip. Unfortunately it did not happen . I was offered another activity instead which was okay but not what I wanted . I really was looking forward to the one I signed up for .
It was a fantastic trip! Everything well organized, and the views didn't dissappoint :> I am I'm looking forward to further trips
It was a wonderful trip, it's my first time visiting the ocean and this playa, I'll be going another time. Fantastic 🥰🥰🥰
Great tour. Alexis was our guide. A very knowledgable young man who is helpful and has great hospitality skills. Will do more trips if we return.
Very cool idea, the ocean looks really fascinating, the traditional village very nice, and there was many interesting places to explore…
Great trip to Cathedral Beach, with it’s stunning Cathedral rocks, but watch out. It advertises as an English speaking tour, it is Not.
Very impressive church beach, in forgettable and the tour guide Christian is well informed and well taking well of all the tour members
Great tour, tour guy Alex very knowledgeable and bus driver Jose very friendly I will recommend this tour 100%
It was a long day on a bus with very limited time at the beach. Still better than missing out the beach and the lunch stop was perfect. The guide was knowledgeable and also had strong opinions and comments that did not contribute to the experience.
Everything went great! The stops were interesting and the guide was well prepared, an amazing experience from start to finish. The organization was smooth, everything was on time according to the schedule. Huge thank you to the team!
The places you are going to visit during this tour are breathtaking. Our tour guide Alexis was very knowledgeable and was providing us with a lot of information.
Beautiful area to see, and an excellent guide who made me feel comfortable despite being the only person who needed English translation. A great choice for a tour if you’ve already been to Finesterre
It was definitely an affordable and convenient way to travel to the beach and our other stops. First, the bus was really comfortable and clean. Our guides Ash and Alexis were friendly and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Lastly, the driver Antonio was a very skilled driver. I didn’t know how we fit in those tiny streets but we did. Also on the way home, he drove the bus like a champ on those windy bridges. The sites we visited were lovely. We were given a lot of time to explore the area after some introduction to the place. Ash communicated with us clearly so we know where to find the bus giving us enough time to walk back. Cathedral beach was a sight to see. It wasn’t completely high tide yet but still wasn’t able to go to the other side of the arch without wetting my pants. The beach was beautiful. It was a rare clear blue sky after days if rain. I’m definitely doing other tours offered by the company based on this experience.
elvio very good guide, good attention, he even take pictures if you are alone, good explanation, good answer to questions
I did the Playa de las Catedrales tour, which was very beautiful and well-paced. Our tour guide Martin was very passionate and fun to listen to. I recommend touring with this company!
The coastal villages were beautiful and cathedral beach was amazing! A must see in Spain. Our guide Martin was very knowledgeable and helpful with all our questions.
We enjoyed a wonderful day, with beautiful sites like the coast of Tapia de Casariego, where the food in the restaurant was delicious. A recommendation of our guide Martin. Also the walk and informational tour at Rinlo and the sites of Pancha Island were beautiful. But the most incredible moment was Catedrals Beach. Such force of Nature. Beautiful. We had a wonderful, very long day with a guide speaking fantastic English and ofcourse Spanish, his born language. He talked and supported with the most interesting information, but also knew when to let people wander on their own. Thank you Galicia travels
We had a fabulous tour across this beautiful region. Our guide, Alex was exceptional, very friendly and knowledgeable. Our bus driver was also excellent! It was wonderful to get to see so much and have someone else handle the details. We would definitely recommend this tour and it was worth every penny.
Lovely day along the coastline of Galicia ans Asturias with Cathedral's Beach as a cherry on the cake. Our guide Alexis from Galicia Travels entertained us with stories about history and traditions of the place and kept the tour running smoothly.
Well planned tour! We arrived at the best possible time at the playa. Very friendly guide and excellent bus driver. :) :)
Wonderful excursion along the scenic coastine of Galicia ending with glorious Cathedral's beach Alex, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about history and local traditions and made the trip very enjoyable and well organised.
The setting was perfect and beautiful Took several pictures and videos Walked on the wet sand and getting my shoes wet felt great.
It is a long journey to Playa de las Catedrales but it is worth it! I could visit that beach many times without being bored. Every day it is different and it is an impressive experience. I also liked to see the other places we visited and the green landscape along the northern coast of Spain. The guide was very good and as a whole I enjoyed it a lot.
Absolutely beautiful coastline vistas! Learned about the history of the region- our guide was engaging and informative.
Alexis the excursion rep was very good. Fluent in several languages, very knowledgeable and able to have some very in-depth conversations with him. His knowledge of European current affairs is impressive. The trip went very smoothly but would advise people to have a good breakfast as the trip starts at 8 and lunch about 2 pm.
The tour was cancelled less than 24 hour in advance. That is too short notice. They don't accept that customers cancel less than 24 hours in advance. Why isn't there any flexibility, for example by using a smaller bus if they don't get 55 participants?
Was a very enjoyable tour, took many photos, Alexis was a very good guide explained every detail of the tour with good knowledge and good English.
The whole day was something we will always remember. We all had a lovely lunch together. Our guide Alexi was amazing. His friendly but professional demeaned our day more enjoyable. We learnt about the culture of Galicia and saw many aspects of the way of life here as well as enjoying some time at the beautiful beach.
The tour was conducted in a timely fashion with enough time to see each attraction. Our guide Alex was good and gave good explanations and information. Driver is careful and drove smoothly. I totally enjoyed this tour and we are lucky to hv good weather today. I would definitely recommend anyone who would like to join this excursion to enjoy nature and the coastline towns.
Flawless organization and very interesting spots only got better with our intelligence tour Guide Alexis we were so happy and everything was very well thought 🤍
Views were gorgeous and we were very happy we made time for the trip. We loved all the variety of the coast. The Guide was very friendly and outgoing and her English was good. We would have liked a little more background. But the guide was very happy to answer questions. Do not miss these views!
Beautiful place with a breathtaking view. Special thanks to the organizers and the guide! Really recommended
All the excursions are interesting and well organized, the guides are nice and super prepared and the quality of the tours is high. I recommend in particular the Catedrais Beach one.
Loved Cathedral beach and Tapia. Our guide Alexis was very knowledgeable and helpful. Great day out,
Great trip, well worth doing. Alexis was a charming knowledgable guide. Enjoyed Cathedral Beach, Every stop just had right amount of time allocated. Nice lunch stop in Tapia.
Spectacular trip! I enjoyed it very much! Everything is very organized and the guide is very smart and humble. Perhaps it would be better if he had the microphone on the bus because in the last rows you cannot hear anything. I would have liked to be a little longer in Lugo, the stop was very short there. Overall a very good trip!
Excellent experience, good price and the guide Davide was very kind and fun, it was a unique experience
the guide alexis a total professional, very knowledgeable
🌸 We loved the excursion to Playa Catedrales. A unique and beautiful place. Alexis and Ángel were our guides. They made the experience wonderful. They were very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed every moment very much. Thanks to both of you for making this trip such a special memory! Luis and Cristina 🤍🩵🤍
That you will see spectacular and magical landscapes That the guides are very nice That the explanations are great A tour you cannot miss Easy location and comfortable buses
Super cool! Everything was beautiful and the guide was very nice. Super!! A 10🌻
Hello, good tour, everything went according to plan. Interesting explanations by the tour guide Alexis. I can only recommend it.
We were unable to go down to the Cathedral Beach because we did not know that you had to have "pass tickets" to walk on the beach. So if you have planned this walk in high season, get the passes on the Cathedral Beach website; they are free. We really regretted it because the view from above was magnificent
Galizia travel proved to be an excellent agency for organizing excursions: they are precise, attentive, and reliable. The guides are very well-prepared, especially Christian, who supported us throughout the trip, giving clear directions and being available to the travelers.
Everything was great, the guide explained every point.
