Historic Santiago - Tiziano was very knowledgeable, we got a good idea about Santiago de Compostela and the origin of its name, he also gave us a very detailed explanation about the famous Camino de Santiago and the seven ways to make each one of them.

Highly recommended and interesting little walk - Our Guide was Lucia who showed us many beautiful places, we found everything she told us very interesting and she was able to transmit it very well. It was very nice the 2h tour and we got very good memories.

Santiago, closer. - We came a few days and opted for the free tour of Santiago de Compostela; since we understand that knowing first hand "the most important" of such an enigmatic city is fundamental. We were “fortunate” to have Caesar as Guide of the tour; with its special character it made us a careful, enjoyable and concrete Guide, I understand that everyone is good and that no matter who touches you because in the end it is an immersive experience (as it is now said) but with a very serious quality, candidness and care. It provided that point of light that the visitor needs to better understand each stone, each human effort that make this place so enigmatic. I believe it is my duty to everyone who reads these comments to opt for these kinds of experiences that in such a pleasant way (in the end it becomes short); to know and be part of somehow these centers of culture and humanity.

Information and well paced - Lucía was very knowledgeable and proud to share her Galician culture with us. We appreciated her tips of where to go for the best food and desserts . She spoke loud enough to be heard over the crowds in the square and kept us moving at a comfortable pace. We learned so much about the history of the city and the symbolism of many things. I highly recommend this tour.

Low seriousness - They cancelled the tour, which we had initially booked in English, even though we accepted it to be in Spanish. Very Pro.
