    All perfect. Our guide Silvia, really great. With her I was able to learn about many interesting aspects of the Cathedral of Santiago and its history. A lot of information in just 2 hours, but all very interesting and in a pleasant way. If I return to Santiago in the future, I will repeat the experience. Thank you very much Silvia and colleagues

    We did the tour of Santiago with Marta, a very nice guide who made the tour perfect, enjoyable and informative. We spent approximately 2 hours seeing the old town of Santiago, with all kinds of explanations and interesting anecdotes. 100% recommendable

    Fantastic visit to the Portico of Glory, the museum and the cathedral of Santiago. Our guide Mireia has explained everything to us phenomenally, history, art and curious things that we would never have known otherwise. And very nice and attentive with all our questions. Highly recommended.

    Maria is fantastic. I booked a Spanish language tour hoping to brush up on my vocabulary a bit-- and I got what I'd hoped and more. The tour was fantastic and Maria helped out when Spanish was lacking. The tour was a highlight of an already wonderful vacation!

    We toured The Cathedral de Santiago on September 16. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we later learned that it was her first tour in English. Quite impressive. We left with a better understanding of the history, culture and very special cathedral that it is. I would highly recommend OptimusTours.

    The visit we made with OPTIMUSTOURS was very beautiful and enriching, both my family and I enjoyed it very much!!! Of course if we return to Santiago we will repeat with you... Raúl was very kind and helped us make the visit and I greatly appreciate the trouble he took to do so. Our guide, Mireia, great....

    I took the guided tour of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela - booked through aviator but the local tour agency was Optimus Tours. The guide, SILVIA, was absolutely fabulous. From the very beginning, it was apparent that she loves her job. Thank you Silvia for sharing your knowledge!!

    (Translated by Google) Our guide was Maria, a charm! It shows that he is passionate about what he does and that is how he transmitted his knowledge to us. Super fun and made our ride very nice. We learned a lot from Santiago. I recommend it! (Original) Nuestra guía fue Maria, un encanto! Se nota que le apasiona lo que hace y así nos transmitió su conocimiento.

    (Translated by Google) Great experience, Irene was an amazing guide and couldn't show us the city of Porto better. Despite the heat, she was always cheerful, active and helpful. I would repeat a thousand times more! (Original) Buenísima experiencia, Irene fue una guía increíble y no pudo enseñarnos la ciudad de Porto mejor. A pesar del calor que hacía, ella siempre estuvo alegre, activa y servicial. ¡Repetiría una y mil veces más!

    (Translated by Google) We went to spend the day in Porto and Borja was a magnificent guide. In addition to accurately explaining the history of the city (both the most remote and the current one), he was very attentive with each one; proactively, between stops, he approached each small group of the tour and, according to our interests and the time we had to visit Porto, he made personalized recommendations. One of the best free tours I have done (and they are not few). (Original) Fuimos a pasar el día a Oporto y Borja fue un guía magnífico. Además de explicar con exactitud la historia de la ciudad (tanto la más remota como la actual), fue muy atento con cada uno; proactivamente, entre parada y parada, se acercaba a cada grupito del tour y, de acuerdo con nuestros intereses y el tiempo del que disponíamos para visitar Oporto, nos hizo recomendaciones personalizadas. De los mejores free tours que he hecho (y no son pocos).

    (Translated by Google) The lady guide showed us the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela with great professionalism, pleasantness, friendliness, cordiality, and showing a deep knowledge of Art, History of Art and the History of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. He was even so kind that he lent us some umbrellas because yesterday, 10/21/2022, it rained a lot in Santiago at the time the visit was arranged around 12:30. The Italian/Spanish nationality guide showed a deep knowledge of the Hispanic language of Cervantes of which she is a philologist. Kind regards Silvia. (Original) La señorita guía nos enseñó la Catedral De Santiago de Compostela con una gran profesionalidad, agradabilidad, simpatía, cordialidad, y mostrando un profundo conocimiento del Arte, Historia del Arte y de la Historia de la Catedral De Santiago de Compostela. Incluso fue tan amable que nos prestó unos paraguas porque ayer 21/10/2022 llovió bastante en Santiago a la hora en la que estaba concertada la visita sobre las 12:30. La guía italiana/española de nacionalidad mostró un profundo conocimiento de la hispánica lengua de Cervantes de la que ella es filóloga. Un afectuoso saludo Silvia.

    Generandosi un disservizio (per una svista ho selezionato un prodotto non corretto) contattavo il servizio clienti via mail, via chat, via telefono. Non ottenendo risposta alcuna al momento di inizio della visita vengo contattato via whatsapp da un operatore. La domanda: perché non partecipo al tour? Spiego la situazione con molta calma, via messaggio. Mi si palesa di una mail di risposta alla mia segnalazione mai arrivata (nemmeno nello spam) , faccio anche screen shot della casella mail, è palese che è nel mio interesse partecipare al tour pagando anche i 10 euro in più. La cosa non interessa mi si dice che dovrò fare un altra prenotazione e rifare tutto da capo. Mi si dice anche che è ingiusto che io -pagante- perda la pazienza davanti all'evidenza, posto che sono sereno e tranquillo. Ad ogni modo arriva la rivalsa: se lei fosse gentile le faremmo aggiungere i 10 euro e fare il tour. Mi spiego nuovamente, tentando di essere gentile, io non ho ricevuto alcuna comunicazione. Chiedo uno screen shot della mail mai arrivata, giusto per sapere cosa mi si diceva. Nella mail era scritta l'impossibilità di modifica. Mi sarebbe stata bene, se non mi di fosse detto con tono di rivalsa "se lei fosse gentile avremmo fatto un cambio". Ma come? Nella risposta via mail (mai arrivata, ma letta da screen shot) non veniva fatto nessun cambio e poi invece mi viene detto che avrebbero potuto o voluto cambiare ma ormai non lo fanno più perché sono "maleducato"? Perdo la pazienza, pur restando entro i limiti della correttezza dovuta, ovvero non offendo nessuno. Mi si dà nuovamente del maleducato quando invio lo screenshot della mia casella mail per dare prova della mancata ricezione. Spiego che in circostanza di disservizio (mancata risposta via mail, alla chat, al telefono) un utente può essere scocciato, ma non definito maleducato. Ma niente, continuano ad arrivare insulti. Infine si chiude il contatto con il ribadire le offese predette e il "capo" ha detto così.... Due considerazioni: Ora, non ho fruito del tour non rispondendo alla mia esigenza e avendolo acquistato per errore. Ho inviato una mail chiedendo come fare. Ho scritto in una chat dove rispondeva un operatore elettronico dicendo che non comprendeva la domanda. Ho chiamato un servizio clienti che non rispondeva (gli uffici erano chiusi, ok), ma nessuno ha richiamato fino ad inizio visita. Avrei accettato un "non si può modificare, ci scusiamo per il disagio", ma sentirmi anche insultare no. Dunque: Una stella per la poca empatia verso il cliente e l'arroganza (data forse dal caldo eccessivo di questi giorni). Relax. Consiglio di essere più sereni nella gestione del disservizio. Può succedere. Non dovrebbe accadere l'inveimento contro il cliente. Dei tour so poco perché ho scelto di non fruire del servizio.

    Hicimos una visita a la catedral y su museo y fue una maravilla. Silvia, nuestra guía, hizo un magnífico trabajo. Conectó desde el primer segundo con el grupo y nos dió un montón de información de gran interés y anécdotas. Acabas con ganas de volver a empezar. Totalmente recomendable.

    (Translated by Google) Very good experience. We were guided by Mireia, a close girl, very nice and who explains phenomenally. The route they take places you very well in the travel area It should be noted that it not only explains the history but also curiosity and recommends essential places for both visiting and eating. Definitely a great choice (Original) Muy buena experiencia. Nos tocó de guía Mireia, una chica cercana, muy maja y que explica fenomenal. El recorrido que hacen te sitúa muy bien por la zona viaje A destacar que, no solo explica la historia sino también curiosidad y recomienda lugares imprescindibles tanto de visita como de comida. Sin duda, una gran elección

    Hicimos el tour con Borja. Se nota que lleva mucho tiempo pateando por Porto. Muy atento con todo el grupo y con todo el tiempo del mundo para explicar. Merece la pena ir con personas como Borja. Gracias

    (Translated by Google) Great visit with DIEGO this Tuesday 09/21. The visit to the Museum of the Cathedral of Santiago was very instructive and although a bit quick due to the time we had in terms of the cathedral itself, the truth is that he had time to explain many things to us. Totally recommendable. In addition, you avoid the queues that is not little, for both visits of the museum and cathedral (Original) Estupenda la visita realizada con DIEGO este martes 21/09. La visita al Museo de la catedral de Santiago fue muy instructiva y aunque un poco rápida por el tiempo del que disponíamos en cuanto a la propia catedral, la verdad es que le dio tiempo a explicarnos muchas cosas. Totalmente recomendable. Además te evitas la colas que no es poco, para ambas visitas del museo y catedral
