Very enjoyable walking tour of Santiago De Compostella. Informative guide with loads of information.
We had an amazing time exploring Santiago de Compostela with Alex as our guide. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel effortless.
The tour was packed with fascinating history, local legends, and insights you simply wouldn’t get on your own. Alex is truly a Galicia expert — you can feel his passion for the region in every story he tells.
The walk itself wasn’t difficult at all, and we enjoyed every minute of it. I only wish we’d had more time to book another tour with him in A Coruña.
This is an absolute must‑do tour if you’re visiting Santiago. We had a fantastic time from start to finish.
Thanks Natasha and Kathy.
Alex was most knowledgeable, entertaining and kind. We learned a great deal and thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
Sadly, I had to leave the tour early due to the onset of an illness. My friends continued on with the tour. First, our leader was compassionate and caring to assist me if help was needed (it wasn’t). My friends reported that the tour was comprehensive, full of local stories, history, and energy. We all highly recommend it as an introduction to Santiago.
Comprehensive, in-depth walking tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Took us to “out- of- the- way” sites we never would have visited independently. And he was loads of fun!
Alex was an excellent guide, full of fascinating facts and stories about Santiago’s history. He explained everything so clearly and made the tour really engaging. We were lucky to have a private experience as the only ones on the tour, which made it even more special. We had a baby in a stroller, and Alex was incredibly considerate, always choosing the easiest routes and making sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend this tour and Alex in particular!
What an experience. Alex, our guide was fantastic. His passion and knowledge for the area was great. Loved all the little bits of information he gave out along the way, all the dos and don’ts whilst there, and all the must sees. Very much recommend this tour, especially if you get Alex
Very knowledgeably with nice illustrations of how the city and cathedral were changed over the years. Good tour of the park and the cathedral complex. Also the good history of the relics which drive the area development
Very small group of my wife and myself.

Alex was a great guide, very enthusiastic and passionate about sharing all the secrets of Santiago, we learned so much. It was also a very fun time.
Alex was a great guide for walking tour covering the wonders of Santiago’s history. He explained the uniqueness of the growth periods known as new city and old city. He was waiting at our meeting place when we arrived and was delightful company plus fielding all our questions. Alex is very good guide.
The Park had a beautiful view of the old town.
Grateful to Maria for showing it to us.
That was something we would not know to see by ourselves.
Very nice friendly informative tour. The guide is passionate about sharing the historical tidbits of the city. A delightful experience. Thank you!
