Rias Baixas PRIVATE Shore tour

This tour is special because it takes you to carefully selected, unique, and very special places, such as our wineries. They are chosen specifically to offer something different from what others typically provide to their clients. The choice of restaurant is also very specific, with a local and typical flair, without being crowded with tourists. The stops to admire the scenery or any other place are usually not during peak hours or with an excessive influx of people. Therefore, you will feel stress-free and won't have to deal with queues, and it is designed especially for you to enjoy everything in a relaxed manner. I offer to take you to places where others don't usually reach or simply overlook. My tour will give you a general and special perspective beyond the ordinary!
