Maria was very knowledgeable and provided great history and information. It was a little confusing at the beginning, in the Portico, because she went to use the restroom, and didn't tell us to meet her outside in the Plaza.

Good intro to highlights of the Cathedral, especially the Portico and the cathedral museum . Highly recommend if you have limited time in Santiago de Compostela.

The tour was fantastic, and timed well to avoid big crowds! Maria is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide; all the information she shared made seeing all the beautiful architecture and objects in the cathedral even more special.

Great guided tour in English by Silvia. The group was about 10 people and we had earphones and small receivers so that we could always hear her clearly even inside crowded areas. You learn so much more having a guide and the price was reasonable : I would definitely recommend.
