My wife and I are planning to walk the Camino from Sarria to Santiago in late September. After we finish the walk and rest up a bit, we would like to take a one-day tour from Santiago to Finisterra. Searching on Google, there are a wide variety of tour possibilities and prices, ranging from a personal guide (€100 and up) to bus tours (€40 or less). Can anyone recommend a tour company or guide?

I did the one day tour for 40€ and found it to be excellent. We saw a lot and learned a lot. It goes to both Muxxia and Finisterra, plus we got to see a beautiful waterfall. Seeing the coastline, having a chance to go to the end of the earth as well as time for a great seafood lunch made the day special after my Camino. Would do it again.

Thanks for your reply. There are a bewildering number of tour companies (Get Your Guide, Camino Ways, Viator, Eatour and Art Natura, to name a few) that run those tours. Do you remember which company you used?

I will go ask on the Camino forums and find out cause I forget the name of the company. They had someone hanging around the Pilgrim office and out in the square in front of the cathedral with flyers.
Out of these companies you listed: Viator and Get Your Guide are re-sellers of other peoples' tours. I would never use them, especially Viator.
