Highly recommend this fabulous tour with Mireia!

This was a superb tour. Our guide Mireia is knowledgeable, engaging, and speaks excellent English. Three hours just flew by. Mireia taught us the history of the cathedral and the city of Santiago through a series of lively and fascinating anecdotes. We also learned a ton about the Galician language and culture. Mireia had a wealth of tips about where to eat and shop, and which special Galician dishes to try. She was very kind and looked after us well, even walking us to the restaurant a little out of town where we had a dinner reservation. We felt the tour was very reasonable and the perfect way to start our Santiago adventure.

Wonderful visit and very involved guide.

Our guide did his best. Small downside, we had booked a tour in French, and I had to translate for my friend all afternoon. This would be a real concern with people who cannot understand English.
