What a treat! - Excellent guide! So energetic, funny and knowledgeable. She even gave us tips to “catch” a Botafumerio. Thank you Irene!

Amazing history tour!! - Carolina was our guide for the museum and Cathedral. She was incredible! Her knowledge was deep, and with her humor and warmth, we had an interactive experience where we enjoyed every moment of learning. As a cultural interpretation guide, she is the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this tour especially if Carolina is your guide!

Stories - “Every stone in Santiago tells a story,” said Maria, my tour guide. There is so much to see in Santiago that having a tour is so helpful. Maria was wonderful.

Great introduction to the old city and cathedral - Jorge was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. Having studied art and history, he provided the perfect introduction to Santiago de Compostela. Great to walk around and explore the old city and to get up close with some of the antiquities in the museum as well as the cathedral. I would highly recommend this tour and Jorge as a guide.

Irene was passionate and... - Irene was passionate and knowledgeable about the area. She told us so much and pointed out many key points around the area. We returned to her recommendations the next few days: The nuns who sell pastries, the many beautiful churches and museums. On our own, we visited the fun Museo of Maxia (magic), Brito Church, Church of San Francisco, attended Mass at the hostel and the Museo of the Diocese.
