Perfect introduction to Santiago de Compostela

What a edifying and fun tour with knowledgeable guide Virginia! A great way to get an overview of the Cathedral and some of Santiago's rich history, including for those who think they already know a bit.

Good if go back a 2nd Time

Not bad but not enough time in the cathedral. About half an hour outside on the plaza learning the history before entering the cathedral museum, then a quick stop at the back of the cathedral and a few rooms within but never got to see the front up close.

Not to be missed!

If you want to see the portico please make sure that’s included in your reservation, some people apparently weren’t aware they had only reserved the cathedral tour. Our guide Paula was spectacular.

Tour of the Cathedral of Santiago

Simple tour of the Cathedral but well explained. You get to see the museum and Portico. You can also do this on your own but if you want some background knowledge then book the tour.
