The route gives visitors exclusive vantage points on the Tower of Hercules, the promenades and the city’s maritime character while moving at a deliberately unhurried pace.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE VEHICLE

Silent, sustainable electric tuks

TukExperience runs on electric, low-noise vehicles that let you glide through the city without environmental impact, giving access to corners and viewpoints a larger vehicle or walking tour might miss.

THE LENS

Slow travel and private attention

The tour embraces slow travel and a private-service approach, prioritizing comfort and the time to savour each stop rather than rushing through highlights.

THE SIGHTS

From Old Town alleys to the Tower of Hercules

The route combines urban and coastal landmarks — the charm of cobbled streets in the Old Town and sweeping views at the Tower of Hercules — creating a compact panorama of Coruña’s past and sea-facing character.

What the day feels like

What the tour feels like

Departures run from the cruise terminal or the TukExperience base (and in some departures from the Tower of Hercules), and the one-hour journey eases you through marine galleries, plazas, castles and promenades with a dedicated stop at the Tower of Hercules. The pace is relaxed by design so you can take in exclusive views and photograph the city’s defining monuments.
