Normally it’s the cultural aspects and views that get our attention on such tours. Trust me, they did but the mussels were out for f this world. Our guide was awesome as well! Even though we were the only English speaking attendees, she made it a point not to leave us out.

Nogaria was an excellent friendly guide with almost perfect English. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the area and had fun on the wine and mussel cruise. Lunch at O pairoa in Combarro was good.
