The wonderful truth, a lot of historical information, very enjoyable. I got short those two hours. The legends surrounding Santiago I liked a lot and our guide gave us a great time with his picaresque when it came to narrating history and legends. Congratulations!!
It was great and mysterious. Monica is so prepared that she made us introduce ourselves to earlier times.
The tour was quite informative and interesting; our guide focused a lot on the torture methods used against meigas. There was so much information and church facades visited that we got overloaded towards the end.
A wonderful experience, we would definitely repeat it again. The guide , Monica is lovely us and made us very pleasant the tur. Recommended 💯 by 💯.
The meigas tour is spectacular. Our friend, Miriam Volandeira, was great. He made us laugh and gave us an amazing tour. Highly recommended!!!!
An excellent choice in Santiago, a magical place to visit. This tour is very well organized, the girls are excellent hosts.
Recommended no, Super Recommended! Discovering the history of Santiago through its streets, explained so well by Monica, even things that not even many local people will know, coupled with the legends/history of the Meigas seen from the vision of the time it occurred, makes the idea of witches completely change in your head. A 10/10 for Monica who apart from explaining, also knows how to listen. And it's really hard to find people like that these days.
An unforgettable experience! I'm a lover of history and De Santiago. I hired the tour and the truth is that I was very lucky because I found Monica as a guide and she explained so well, that she was hooked as a little girl that they are telling her a story and what a story! The truth is that it is worth hearing the story of the legends of Santiago and Meigas and more from the mouth of a person who is known perfectly as Monica. I have enjoyed and laughed a lot with the anecdotes and I can not see the time to come back, let me come back!!! Thank you very much, you're wonderful.
We really enjoyed the tour with Monica. Very interesting, you go places that you would not visit in any way on your own. Great stories. Very friendly, very professional and very accessible. We'll repeat another tour with her.
Everything has been very professional, from booking to the end of the tour Monica Grille, you've had me aware of the reservation, you've made suggestions to accommodate me, and it went great. The tour interesting and with its grace and jokes. Answers to our questions and very entertaining I recommend it
