Our guide was excellent... a nice mix of fact and humour and kept whole group engaged. Saw parts of Santiago I'd have missed if I didn't do tour. Identified buildings and statues I've passed a d didn't realise significance.

Informative—almost too much so. Speaking more slowly even if not as much information would be helpful.

Carolina was a very well informed guide, bringing history to relevant life with humor mixed in. Spent nearly 2 hrs, giving recommendations as well for restaurants and other activities

Don’t expect a lot of historical substance and quality details, it is more a casual and jovial talk & walk.

Excellent introduction to Old Town by our English speaking guide “mire” …Very well done. Good sense of history and humor.
Lyn_Z, Sep 2025
A very informative insight into all sorts of stories, experiences and culture. It's a beautiful city with many 'hidden secrets' to discover.

Do it as soon as you can on arrival to Santiago. A great orientation for the old town with great history.

Unfortunately I didn't get the guides name! She was absolutely lovely. Very funny and witty. Made us all laugh. She was very knowledgeable and obviously enthusiastic about the old quarter of Santiago. We learnt a lot about the area.
I Would recommend this little tour. It's short and sweet and we didn't have a lot of time. Am so sorry I didn't get her name. She describes herself as short! Good goods come in small packages! (One small thing is maybe she could speak a little slower). Everyone had earpieces and she speaks in English but sometimes you have to concentrate hard to understand everything with the unaccustomed Spanish names and words and the outside noise interference. Otherwise very good..

I enjoyed the tour by Veronica. She had lots of knowledge of the history of the city and buildings, which was great. Also, visiting the food market was excellent, I plan to return there tonight for dinner.

I really appreciated my guides welcome and her knowledge of the history. She included both little fun facts and a great overall description of the buildings and their history. It was well worth the time!

Our guide was very informative, I loved the nuns cooking and secret door to buy goods.
She spoke very well

Maria was a wonderful guide for our tour. She was funny and had lots of knowledge. The headphone set up worked great which allowed us not have to be right next to her when she was talking.

Maria was so kind and inclusive. Her knowledge and love of the city was evident. Great tour guide, thank you!!

It was great to have a guide to explain the stories behind the sights and it is always great to be able to ask questions. She explained things clearly. I later found a lot of the same info explained in an excellent brochure from the tourism office.

Wonderful group tour! Guide was amazing - spoke incredible English and so very informative and entertaining! Best tour in Santiago and what an amazing value. Maria was the Best Guide! Our group had 8 people. The pace was perfect and when you complete the tour, your feel as though you understand the basic history of the Cathedral and Old Town area. Well done! Well worth the time, cost and effort to book.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of the old town of Santiago de Compostela. Our guide was very informative so we extended our tour to include the cathedral and museum. I highly recommend both tours.
Elizabeth_B, Mar 2023
Great tour with Maria, who was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions. Very pleased with what we learned and the suggestions for other restaurants and experiences.

Catalina is by far the best and funniest guide I have had on tours so far. Rich in facts, informative and peppered with good background knowledge. Great tips from a local. I hope to meet you again at a guided tour.
