Great 👍 - Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and spoke fluent English so asking questions was very easy. I would definitely recomend as our guide was also local so able to offer advice on places to visit and places to eat.

A good hour - Maria was a wonderful guide for our tour. She was funny and had lots of knowledge. The headphone set up worked great which allowed us not have to be right next to her when she was talking.

Great Tour! - I live in Santiago De Compostela and had family visit. I knew there would be specific historical information I would not be knowledgeable about. Our guide was wonderful (forgot her name, sorry I'm terrible with names). We took the 10:00am English speaking tour. The tour is a perfect 1 hour time length full of interesting history about the cathedral, architecture, and old town in Santiago. I would highly recommend this as a quick reference point when traveling to Galicia!

History and walking with content. - The tour helps you get to know Santiago de Compostela and the history that each of its squares and alleys has. The Guide, Diego, quite nice and colloquial. 100% recommended

Could not understand a word - Beautiful morning, easy to find guide. Provided with receiver and ear plugs. Audio is horrible. Female guide spoke twice as fast as me and we understood one in every ten words. Total waste of time and walked away after ten minutes.
