Our guide, Carolina is such a delight and very knowledgeable about the cathedral and Santiago’s history.
Great way to know Santiago de Compostela! Efren was very friendly, he explained the history of the buildings and statues . We went to the market , and passed monasteries and historic Churches . My favorite was Santa Maria Salome , which was the mother of Santiago!
Moderate amount of walking. Our guide Virginia was good. Spoke English well. Gave us a reasonable amount of information without overwhelming us. Told some good stories. Very personable.
A must do to learn more about the town and its history. the group is small and the tour guide was knowledgeable.
This was a highly enjoyable and informative 2 part tour with 2 different tour guides focusing on different aspects of Santiago. The first tour provided an excellent overview of the historical and cultural significance of this UNESCO world heritage site. The second part of my tour with a different guide provided a detailed and fascinating exploration of the Santiago de Compostela Archcathedral Basilica and the significance of St. James the Great to this world renowned city. Both guides provided excellent descriptions on the concept of the Way of St. James which is a leading Catholic pilgrimage route since the 9th century. The guides spoke fluent English and were both highly knowledgeable about the historical, cultural and religious significance not only of Santiago but also Galicia. The entire tour lasted about 4 hours and is one that I would highly recommend to those seeking to learn about and fully appreciate this unique part of Spain.
Look for the blue umbrella in the square when you have tour booked. Great historic knowledge of guide.
