Loved this tour - Lucia showed us all the important parts of the Cathedral - in and around!!! Lucia knew all about everything!!! We all enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to others - Lucia was a delight to be with - we all learned so much about St James!!!!

We had a particular bad experience. Tour guide showed up 30 minutes late but did not reach out or tell us at all!! We sent a message via the Viator app when no one appeared 5-8 mins after the appointed time.
We then were rushed through the museum (which is amazing and everyone should do), and finished the tour in an hour. Our guide was fine but in my opinion the whole thing was doomed from the start.
Perhaps this was a one off

Indeed what you mentioned happened but you do not mention the parcial refund we reimbursed and that we invited you to the mueum's access tickets trying to someway amend. You also left earlier, tour was going to be performed in full but it was time for your prayers at 5 p.m. Original tour guide was on a train with much delay. As soon as we knew we sent another guide with the intention of staying longer than the 2 hours purchased.

We enjoyed the thorough explanation of the art work and artifacts that were found in the museum. It tied in together nicely once we were at the cathedral. Our tour guide Adrian was very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of our questions. We Highly recommend this tour.

Lovely tour and guide. Exactly as described….private for just your group and very good coverage of the museum and cathedral. Highly recommended. My husband walks slowly with a cane and the guide was very good adapting to his needs.

Meri was a great guide and the tour was fascinating. We learned a lot. My only issue is this review site is requiring me to write more.

Diego was an encyclopedia of knowledge and facts but also relaxed and fun. He was very personable. Highly recommend this tour, and this tour company - Walking Eating Galicia.
