The Worst Tour Ever!!
Worst tour experience ever. Guide was not where promised. Got odd instructions to walk blocks from original site. 7 other people who signed up for tour walked with us. Finally the bus came to pick us up. Our tour was combined with some other operator. Will never use your services again. Guide walled too fast for some in the group who had mobility issues.
Cathedral Santiago de Compostela - Beautiful structure
The tour guide was knowledgeable and personable and the tour to The Cathedral Santiago De Compostela was wonderful AND GREAT VALUE for money as the cost was less than half of what our cruise ship was charging, Also seeing the pilgrims doing the Camino Walk was very interesting and inspiring.
