Superb - An excellent visit with an exceptional tour guide. The option to visit the Portico was very well worth it with the fuide pointing out the relevant features before viewing in silence.

Do the Portico! Great guide and tour - Everything was smooth, seamless and easy starting with meeting the guide carrying umbrella near entrance, in main square -- left side as you face it. Maria was a terrific guide and had a great deal of knowledge and history to relate. She encouraged questions and was helpful and kind throughout the 2+ hour tour. The Portico of Glory was fantastic -- one gets 30 minutes there. The museum is very impressive too. I'd been to the cathedral 3-4 times previously and this really added a lot to my understanding and enjoyment of the site. Great job, Maria -- thank you.

Professional and entertaining. - Our guide Maria, she was brilliant. You could tell that she was a professional guide, that she is passionate about what she does and that is transmitted. It was very interactive with us, didactic and made us not miss any details. We will repeat and recommend for sure.

Great tour excellent guide! - This was my second visit to the cathedral. Mireia was our guide for this and the optional tour. She was a wealth of information. She answered our questions and did it in such a way that we really got to understand the different phases the cathedral went through over the last several centuries. We did the morning tour and the group was very small because of the time of year (November). It was nice to sometimes be the only people in the rooms of the museum and in the different areas of the cathedral. I recommend doing the early tours vs afternoon due to the tourist traffic. Highly recommend the combo tour and if you get Mireia as a guide you will leave knowing so much about the cathedral, little inside information that you may never have known.

Lots of history in 2 hours. Fascinating. - Overall a great tour and a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! Only reason 4 stars not 5 stars was a confusing start. I waited at the meeting place but no one there. I got a message 15 mins late to meet a person with an orange umbrella at a different location in the square. It would be good if you add the umbrella comment to the ticket so we know beforehand how to find your guides. Thanks and mucho gracias.
