Juanjo was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about Albariño production, the Rías Bajas, and mussel farming. The boat ride to see the mussel beds was quite enjoyable. The crew brought tray after tray of steamed mussels to the tables, and later, as the music played, people were dancing, singing, and having a great time! After our boat adventure, Juanjo showed us MANY places of interest. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Juanjo and highly recommend this adventure.

My husband and I had the pleasure of being taken on the Rias Baixas mussel farm and wine tasting tour by Juanjo. He was very knowledgeable and showed us some of the true gems in this region. We were able to have a private tour and tasting of a local winery with some of the best albarinho wine in the region. Additionally, the mussel farm boat tour was interesting, but the highlights were the unlimited delicious mussels and wine. We explored a few other areas in the region and learned a lot about the history and culture. For lunch, Juanjo got us into a local restaurant that served an endless supply of seafood and albraino wine. We truly had a lovely day and appreciated Juanjo's time and company. Would highly recommend this experience!

Booked this tour with Civitatis and it was truly a gem of an experience. Our tour guide Lucia was informative and knew the whole history on the region as well as all of the sites we went to visit. The only suggestion I would give it's the map location on where to meet, I had to call the office and asked exactly where the meeting place was. We visited the Adega Eidos winery and all of the wines were delicious. Then went to have boat tour with all the mussels you can eat along with more wines, it was truly worth every penny spent. Afterwards we finish by visiting Cambarro and the beach area, very beautiful area.

Punctual! I was immediately comfortable with Juanjo Cuenca, who is widely knowledgeable about not only the Galicia region but of the food, culture and people. He also speaks perfect English and lived in the States for 5 years, which made for fun conversation. I loved the wine tasting and the bilingual proprietor of the winery. No pressure at all to buy to ship home. I would have stayed all day to learn more. Mussels! I adore mussels and I was not disappointed. The boat was fun. You are given a huge tub of steamed mussels to eat with wine, water or soda. You’re taken to a mussels farm offshore to see how they are cultivated. Very interesting. Afterward, we took a stroll around the ancient walkways with restaurants and boutiques and Juanjo pointed out interesting regional points. We had lunch at a small, quiet out of the way place for the most outstanding Pulpo I have ever had. The time went quickly. I highly recommend this very customer-customized trip. I am not able to walk long distances and Juanjo immediately shortened the walk. He is a complete gentleman, knowledgeable and a very special tour operator.
