Very interesting and surprisingly entertaining tour - This could have been a very dry and dull trip back hundreds of years talking about a bunch of dead people in a dark and gloomy museum. However our delightful guide a vivacious young woman who’s name I didn’t catch was so energetic and told the best stories it really made the whole tour very entertaining and full of interesting facts.

Cathedral of Santiago and Portico - Unmissable - An unmissable experience. The places visited, a marvel, but the big difference was the guide, Maria, who, in a pleasant and entertaining way, gave us a lot of information, in great detail, showing a wide knowledge. Thank you Maria!
