A worthwhile tour - We really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Marielle was informative and engaging. It was very busy in the museum and the Cathedral but she was calm and managed the group well. We had attended the pilgrims’ mass the previous day but this tour gave us some really useful historical background.

A wonderful way to deepen one's understanding - I have been to the Santiago Cathedral several times, and this was a special visit. Seeing selected parts of the museum, as well as the amazing Cathedral with the help of an excellent guide was wonderful and helpful. And the technology of having individual headsets for eachparticpant, to be able to best hear the guide is brilliant. This was a wonderful tour!

Cathedral - So, for a tour in English, it was difficult to understand the guide. Other than that, he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. If he worked on the accent it would be top notch.
