What you can expect

Discover Santiago de Compostela like never before on a full experience that takes you to the city's most iconic, historic, and surprising places. For 4 hours, you'll tour the heart of Santiago accompanied by a specialised tour guide who will take you on a journey through centuries of history, art, pilgrimage, and legends.

The adventure begins in the heart of the historic centre, where you'll start a guided visit inside the majestic Cathedral of Santiago, one of the most important monuments in Europe and the final destination of the Camino de Santiago. You'll explore unique spaces such as the cloister, the chapels, and the cathedral treasury while discovering how this city became one of the great centers of pilgrimage in the world.

After a short break, one of the most special moments of the tour will come: the entrance to the spectacular Portico of Glory, the masterpiece of Master Mateo and one of the greatest jewels of Romanesque art. Each figure, each detail, and each symbol hides fascinating stories that turn this visit into an unforgettable experience.

The sightseeing tour continues with a stroll through the most famous cobblestone streets, arcades, and squares of the Old Town of Santiago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll discover charming corners, curious stories, Compostela traditions, and the authentic atmosphere that makes this city unique. During the tour, you can also admire from the outside such emblematic historic buildings as the Hostal of the Catholic Kings, a former pilgrim hospital and one of Santiago's monumental icons.
