Tour description

Santiago de Compostela, a city of pilgrimage and capital of Galicia, has much to offer.

In a two-hour tour, with anecdotes, interesting facts, and a lot of history, you will learn everything essential about this city. It was the first tour we developed and the one we have
special affection
.

We will explain why the famous Praza do Obradoiro is called that way or where the name Santiago de Compostela comes from. In addition, at this point we will learn about the powers of the city.

We will walk through the squares around the Cathedral and learn about its importance and significance within the city and the pilgrimage.

We will briefly leave the old town to visit the Alameda, where three statues with a lot of history live, and we will observe the skyline of the city from this beautiful park, one of the most visited in Santiago. Have you already visited the Dos Marías? This is where the camera is essential.

We will discover hidden streets and different enigmas that this city hides in the facades of its buildings or the roofs of its arcades. We will reveal all the secrets to you.
