This was a really insightful tour of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Miri was our guide and was totally engaging throughout the tour. The background on the cathedral’s history, art and architecture during the visit gave a greater appreciation of its significance. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
Stunning beauty, history, spirituality

Our guide Irene was so knowledgeable and kind. She made the tour educational and rich with history. The stories to help us learn about St. James and all the museum relics was incredible. The service we attended was in honor of the Pilgrims so after we finished our Camino hike was refreshing. The intense infuser was exciting to watch as it nearly hit the ceiling, though not quite. Amazing.
Excellent guide and good itinerary

We had Sylvia as the main tour guides and Natalie who was training. We had a great time. Sylvia was very personable and knowledgeable and provided both personal and historical information regarding the different foods we tried. All the bars and restaurants we visited were excellent. Both Sylvia and Natalie were very kind patient and open. We had great conversations throughout the tour. We would highly recommend the tour and especially Sylvia and Natalie. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.
