5.00We really enjoyed our tour of Santiago de Compostela with Mireya. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient with our 5-year-old son. Mireya made an effort to keep him engaged in a natural, age-appropriate way, which we truly appreciated and made the experience easier and more enjoyable for us as a family. A lovely guide and a great way to explore the city.

5.00Our 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
