Overview

Would you like to discover Santiago de Compostela from the inside and with the eyes of a local guide? This tour combines the best of the city: art, history, spirituality... and many curiosities.

We will start the tour in the famous Plaza del Obradoiro, the end point of all the Caminos. There, we will enter the Cathedral Museum, an essential place to understand why this city has become a destination for pilgrims for over a thousand years. Together with your guide, you will walk through its rooms full of sacred art, Romanesque and Gothic architecture, archaeological pieces, and treasures that tell the story of the cathedral's evolution.

Afterwards, we will go out into the streets to continue with a walking tour of the historic center, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We will stroll through its most famous squares (Platerías, Quintana, Inmaculada), and walk through some of the most vibrant streets, such as Rúa do Franco, full of history and Galician flavor.

Along the way, we will talk about legends, anecdotes of the Camino, symbols such as the concha or the botafumeiro, and much more. An ideal tour if you are looking for a cultural experience with soul.
