Description

Your friend Oliver just finished the Camino de Santiago and arrived in the city of his dreams. There's one problem: he can't remember what he did yesterday, and his belongings are scattered across town. Help him retrace his steps through the Old Town before he has to leave. This self-guided walking quest takes you on a 2-hour adventure through the medieval heart of Santiago de Compostela. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you explore 12 stops across the Old Town: from the Cathedral's Praza do Obradoiro and the monastery of San Martiño Pinario to a hilltop viewpoint above the cathedral, piecing together what really happened to Oliver the night before. Start whenever you like and explore 2.7 kilometres of Santiago's cobblestone streets at your own pace. Almost every stop has indoor shelter close by, making this a great option whatever the weather. Perfect for first-time visitors, history lovers, and pilgrims who want to discover the Old Town beyond the cathedral square.

Waste of money

I do not recommend a tour that uses the Quest app. We never could get it to work properly. It kept offering subscription options for additional fees. Skip this and save your money.

Operator response

I am so sorry you couldn't get the app to work and had a frustrating experience in Santiago. We definitely want to investigate this subscription pop-up issue so we can fix it, so please reach out to us at explore@questoapp.com. We would love to offer you a free quest so you can give us another try!

Fabulous and fun walking tour

Great way to see the city and learn lots of information. We found it fun and interesting and learnt lots too! Loads of photo opportunities and you see so much in the couple of hours that would be easy to miss if you were just wandering aimlessly. A great idea for friends and families with kids to explore this amazing city
