Juan and Fran are two official guides who, after more than 10 years guiding in different cities in Europe and driven by homesickness, returned to our homeland in 2020 to create our own project.

Tour description


How was Santiago de Compostela born and how did it end up becoming a religious, cultural and tourist reference? Join this exciting guided tour to really get to know this incredible city.

The more than 10 years of experience of our guides will make you immerse yourself in the history of this ancient city with their story, but also appreciate our unique gastronomy, popular culture and traditions.

Every good story has a good beginning and there is no better place than Obradoiro Square to explain the origin of the city through its imposing buildings: Cathedral, Pazo de Raxoi, Colexio de San Xerome and Hostal de los Reyes Católicos.

We will cross the arch where the bagpiper usually plays to enjoy the immense monastery of San Martín Pinario, as well as the north façade of the Cathedral. From there we will go to Plaza de la Quintana, Cervantes, Mercado de Abastos, Faculty of Geography and History, Praza Mazarelos and Santa María Salomé, to finish the visit in Alameda Park.

The park is a must-see to be able to address the tragic history of Las Marías and explain the reason for the explosion of the city in the 90s, closing the tour at a viewpoint with one of the most beautiful views of the old city.

If you want to discover the city in an enjoyable way with the confidence of having official and experienced guides, if you are looking to immerse yourself in popular culture and also receive good gastronomic advice from local people...

This is your visit!!
