Terrible service

Terrible service, the guide never arrived at any point and we were waiting, after that we complained and there was no refund or solution. I do not recommend it

Operator response

Buenas tardes El guía y el resto del grupo les estuvo esperando 15min. Como nos comentaba por teléfono, no les apetecía ir porque jugaba España, y lo entendimos. Pero no tienen derecho a reemboso una vez pasada la hora de comienzo. Un cordial saludo

No French translator. That's a shame! Because there are many details! Stroll, original!

Interesting walk

Lovely and very knowledgeable guide. However either the equipment or very heavy accent made it difficult to fully understand at times

Worth it

I thought our tour guide (Virginia) did an excellent job giving us unique historical insights around the old town of Santiago de Compostela. Highly recommend; worth every penny.
