Very impressive to see the pilgrims on their journeys. We learned a great deal about St James and the early church on the Iberian Peninsula Could have deleted the 45 minute stop in the walled town on the return journey. A bathroom break would have been sufficient

This was an awesome excursion with the Dynamic Duo of Miguel and Manuel. Miguel was super knowledgeable, had good taste in music, is super funny, and will take you to the best photo spots. He was very down to earth, would chat with everyone in the group individually, and takes the best pictures! The drive was far but Manuel provided a smooth and safe ride the entire time. The Cathedral was awesome and my wife and I had a great time exploring the area. I highly recommend this tour. It was definitely worth it!

My husband and I decided on this excursion and we are so glad that we did. Our tour guide Miguel was great. He was knowledgeable, a comedian, a phenomenal photographer, and made the tour so much fun. His playlist gets 5-stars also! Thanks to him and the driver, Manuel for making sure we were safe and got to where we needed to be. Would totally recommend booking with this dynamic duo ASAP! DO IT!!!

It was a great expierience! Miguel is a great tour guide with a wonderfull playlist on our war to Santiago, the highlight of the tour! The cathedrale is worth the waiting. Astonishing from the inside as it from the outside. Fernando took us savely back home.

Great Experience with Miguel and Fernando. Miguel is a great tour guide and the best photographer. He gave great advice for every stop and was always chatting with the people on the tour. An Experience worth to do and highly recommend. Santiago Cathedral is one of the most beautiful Cathedrals we have ever seen.

We had a couple of days in Porto, so my wife and I booked the 10-hour Santiago de Compostela tour with LivingTours. Our guide Miguel and driver Manuel were great! Miguel shared interesting stories about the towns we passed, from Valença to Compostela, and answered all our questions. He also gave us good tips on where to eat. Overall, a great experience and totally worth it!

Our tour guides were Favlo & Manuel who were great along the way giving plenty of information. 2 issues why we didn't give a 5/5. Firstly, we booked an English speaking tour and I assume due to shoulder season low numbers we ended up with a mixed tour. No huge deal... Secondly, we got to Santiago de Compostela a few minutes late. The guides didn't seem to offer much directions for us to walk along and make it to the church. My wife was super keen on going to mass, but was turned away at the door, the person in front of her made it in... This was a huge disappointment when travelling from Australia for this. Perhaps some improvements could be made here so that others don't have the same disappointment.
