A Wonderful Way to Explore the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela - At the onset of our visit, we learned that this was Jorge’s first tour in English. However, one would never know that. We had a fantastic experience visiting Catedral de Santiago de Compostela and the Pórtico de la Gloria guided by Jorge. He was extremely knowledgeable, detailed and indulged our questions.

Great tour and knowledgeable guide - Great tour and very knowledgeable guide. I would recommend to anyone visiting Santiago to visit the Cathedral and take this tour. The only downside was that there was a foot race happening on the streets of Santiago and the finish line was right out side the Cathedral. It was hard to hear the guide at times because of this.
