Carlos was amazing! He had way more knowledge than we expected and we learned so much from him. He shared his unique perspective as a local on the culture and the church.

It was a perfect private tour. Mari was phenomenal. She was kind, attentive, and extremely informative. She shared themes that repeated themselves throughout the catedral, the museo and the town. Her English was very easily understood. She fielded questions with enthusiasm. She navigated the crowds expertly to maximize our time together. She allowed for bathroom stops, as needed. She led us through historic Santiago to el Mercado de Abastos to end the tour. We purchased the most amazing chocolate truffles you can imagine, there! We highly recommend this private tour. Note that El Portico de Gloria can be visited with a small fee for an additional ticket - but guides are not allowed to accompany visitors into El Portico. It’s worth the price (!!), but it would be helpful to do a little advance research to fully appreciate its beauty - only a concise paper guide in English or Spanish is provided at the entrance. It would be helpful for this company to note that when offering the extra ticket.

Amazing and educational tour around the cathedral and through the museum. Sylvia was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Would highly recommend especially for first-timers like us.

Our private 3 hour tour with “Mary” was wonderful. Definitely worth the early morning flight from Madrid! She was fluent with the historical knowledge of Santiago and made her descriptions of artifacts and stories of the sites we visited come to life with lighthearted tales. Mary was animated and friendly, kept us moving but didn’t rush us from place to place, and answered all of our questions fully. She spoke excellent English
