We will meet at our premises and then walk to Praza do Obradoiro and the visit to the museum will start. The different rooms of the complex will tell us the story of and about how the whole Cathedral was built, since its origins during the 9th century until nowadays. You will visit the different halls of the museum with all the art masterpieces exposed in each one and we will give you a detailed explanation of them. We will look out on the balconies from the Cathedral to the Obradoiro square, the Cathedral's interior cloister and, last but not least, we will enter the Cathedral, which itself is a work of art. No access queues will be done to enter the Cathedral.

Great tour guide, she was very knowledgeable Beautiful cathedral and museum She explain every details of the history of Santiago and the Cathedral.
Loved this tour - Lucia showed us all the important parts of the Cathedral - in and around!!! Lucia knew all about everything!!! We all enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to others - Lucia was a delight to be with - we all learned so much about St James!!!!
We had a particular bad experience. Tour guide showed up 30 minutes late but did not reach out or tell us at all!! We sent a message via the Viator app when no one appeared 5-8 mins after the appointed time. We then were rushed through the museum (which is amazing and everyone should do), and finished the tour in an hour. Our guide was fine but in my opinion the whole thing was doomed from the start. Perhaps this was a one off
Indeed what you mentioned happened but you do not mention the parcial refund we reimbursed and that we invited you to the mueum's access tickets trying to someway amend. You also left earlier, tour was going to be performed in full but it was time for your prayers at 5 p.m. Original tour guide was on a train with much delay. As soon as we knew we sent another guide with the intention of staying longer than the 2 hours purchased.
I recommend a trip to Santiago de Compostela to anyone visiting Galicia, perhaps avoiding the busiest periods to enjoy every corner freely.
Very knowledgeable and professional guide. We only had a half day in Santiago and doing the private tour helped us skip the long lines and ensured that we got to experience the most important sights.
We enjoyed the thorough explanation of the art work and artifacts that were found in the museum. It tied in together nicely once we were at the cathedral. Our tour guide Adrian was very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of our questions. We Highly recommend this tour.
Lovely tour and guide. Exactly as described….private for just your group and very good coverage of the museum and cathedral. Highly recommended. My husband walks slowly with a cane and the guide was very good adapting to his needs.
We had a wonderful tour of the church and the museum. The guide was very knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting. She made sure we saw everything possible.
Meri was a great guide and the tour was fascinating. We learned a lot. My only issue is this review site is requiring me to write more.
Excellent experience! Very informative and made my time very enjoyable. She was quite knowledgeable about the Cathedral.
