Beautiful addition to our “Pilgrimage “ - Incredibly informative tour about the Cathedral, surrounding buildings and historic city. Delores our guide was charming, warm and engaging. She was so incredibly knowledgeable and so enthusiastic in informing us about the history, religion, architecture ,and culture of Santiago Del Compostela Cathedral and surrounding environs. Additionally she was so very gracious in acknowledging my faith based need to go to confession while touring the Cathedral . I/we found her and this experience extraordinary. Thank you so very much !

Great experience! - 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.

Educational tour - Maria was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all our questions. We learned so much about the history of the cathedral and some about the city and Galician people which rounded out the educational experience.

Irene is a fantastic tour... - Irene is a fantastic tour guide. She was more than a guide, she was a host in a place she obviously loves. We were privy to secrets and interesting stuff which she delivered with just the right amount of flair and humor, reasons why we truly enjoyed learning more about Santiago de Compostela. She accommodated our queries and gave us loads of tips, mostly on food, noting that we are such foodies. The time with her flew by so fast and we were very grateful to have her with us even for a bit.
