Galicia at its Finest!! - A valuable cultural experience in the beautiful Northwest Spain. Our tour guide was informative and patient. Santiago de Compostela is a must for the spirit, and the galithian food is a must for the soul. We were elated with the experience from the beginning until the end and look forward to returning very soon. Book with confidence knowing you will not be disappointed

Cathedral Santiago de Compostela - Beautiful structure - The tour guide was knowledgeable and personable and the tour to The Cathedral Santiago De Compostela was wonderful AND GREAT VALUE for money as the cost was less than half of what our cruise ship was charging, Also seeing the pilgrims doing the Camino Walk was very interesting and inspiring.

The Worst Tour Ever!! - Worst tour experience ever. Guide was not where promised. Got odd instructions to walk blocks from original site. 7 other people who signed up for tour walked with us. Finally the bus came to pick us up. Our tour was combined with some other operator. Will never use your services again. Guide walled too fast for some in the group who had mobility issues.

We were not given the... - We were not given the right time to be picked up. The guide showed up 1 hour later & some people were at a different pick up point . This alone put us almost 2 hours behind. Since the lines were so long at the cathedral we had no free time to walk around or get any food or drink. It would have been more fun to just see the outside of the cathedral & enjoy the town on our own. Would not recommend this tour. Waste of time!

Not a good experience - Miscommunication and constant changes throughout the tour which was shortened by leaving late and returning early.

Frustrating - The most unorganized tour ever with Viator. Tour scheduled for 8 am, changed to 9 am - not all were notified. Meeting point confusion for 10 people which caused a delay of 45 minutes leaving. The tour guide was not organized, did not explain the tour before leaving the bus. Ear buds not given out until after we left the bus and walked into the crowded old town. Tourists were frustrated causing anxiety about seeing what was paid for. A total mess! The only saving grace was getting to see the cathedral. Elva was way over her head!
