Excellent tour, guide, driver, and food. Exceptional customer service. The guide (Diego): with all the knowledge you can imagine about the places visited. A person who loves this land... and it shows. Pure passion. The driver: detailed knowledge of how to drive on very narrow roads with hairpin bends and two-way streets. Wow, everything you could want. You ride the bus confident that you're in good hands. The food: A+ quality and abundance. Exceptional service to accommodate special needs. I highly recommend including food in the package. It's worth it in every way.
I highly recommend Verdant Experiences and their tour packages. Worth every penny! Thank you so much for an unforgettable day.
If you want to visit the area and learn a little about its culture, this is the best excursion you can choose. Diego shares a wealth of knowledge in an engaging way. The area is beautiful, and the architectural gems of the monasteries are stunning. I loved the excursion and plan to return because there's so much to see, and one day is enough.
The Ribera Sacra doesn't need any help to say it's a marvel, both for its nature and its heritage, but we enjoyed it even more thanks to Diego. We had a fantastic day; I highly recommend the full-day excursion. It's definitely worth a visit.
The Sil Canyon tour was amazing. Breathtaking landscapes and hidden beauties. Visiting the monasteries was a must. The guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. Excellent organization. I recommend the tour to anyone who wants to discover the Riberia Sacra.
We took the full-day excursion with a cruise through the Sil Canyon, visits to two monasteries, two viewpoints, and a winery, and we loved it. Diego was an excellent guide, and everything was really convenient: the minibus, the schedule, the food... 100% recommended.
We did the experience last Thursday, and I have nothing but gratitude. It was truly wonderful. The guide was friendly at all times, explaining everything in great detail. I'm very happy and I highly recommend the experience.
If you go to the Ribeira Sacra, I would recommend this excursion, complete and with the experience of Diego, its guide who explained everything to us with great kindness and sympathy with the convenience of being picked up and dropped off at the Parador de Santo Estevo.
A well-organized excursion through the Ribeira Sacra. The area is well worth exploring. Diego was our guide, who demonstrated a command and knowledge of the area that made the experience even more enjoyable.
Well organised tour, professionally run, our guide Diego was helpful and coped well with providing some commentary in English for the only participant who was not Spanish (me)
We took the Ribeira Sacra tour last week and it was a great experience. Diego is an exceptional guide; he knows a lot about his province and its art history, and he conveys it wonderfully. The catamaran tour on the Sil River is a very cool experience.
A very complete excursion. In the morning we visited a monastery (not the one we had originally planned, but which pleasantly surprised us), followed by a boat trip along the river. We booked lunch as part of the excursion, and I think it was the best choice. A menu with several options for starters, main courses, and dessert. Very delicious. After lunch, we went to two viewpoints and another monastery, and finally to the castle (we didn't book the wine cellar). The truth is, the castle should also be a must-see because it's so interesting. On the other hand, Diego, our guide, also made the excursion very enjoyable; this is also important. And I can't forget to mention the minibus driver, who took us along those narrow, winding roads. I 100% recommend it.
